Looking for a gem, we are sometimes dumb enough to try to hold on to a lump of coal, convinced that it will turn into a diamond in our lifetime... but all it does it get sh*t all over you until you burn it and use the energy for something else.
I think we, sometimes, try to fill a void with so many other things that we make the wound deeper & prevent it from ever healing properly.
Today is the first day of the rest of your life, and if you screw that up, you can start again tomorrow.
