“No one worth knowing has had an easy past…. There’s this thing that people who have spent time in the gutter, instinctively comprehend. This thing the timid or fortunate will never understand. You can see it in their eyes…you can hear it in their music, you can feel it in the way they shake your hand…or the words that they use as they try to describe something to you… They no longer take the good for granted…and when trouble finds them, they go down swinging. They know the bad times won’t last…nor will the good times. Time is manmade…nobody really knows what time it is right now….and you’re on your own schedule, not someone else’s. The strongest people out there are not those who show strength in front of us…but those who fight and conquer/lose battles we know nothing about. In the quiet… In the silence. Please be good to one another.”
