on wednesday, my music education prof. told us to discuss about this quote, "at the age of 5, art is art and life is life. sadly, at 6, art is life and life... art." so we talked about the it, especially about how a child`s innoncence and happiness is eventually ripped away from them.
i can relate to this quote... even though last year was the worst year of my life, i learned from it. i`ll never have my innoncence again, but i`ve learned to be more street smart. it still hurts me how i had to learn about the world and its corruption the hard way, but that`s okay... i can finally learn to take care of myself rather than having people worry aobut me.
and for the people that have taught me these lessons: i`ll never be able to fully trust you again nor will i ever forget the events. but i thank you, for helping me realize how vulnerable i am or was and how disgusting human beings can be. i`ve told myslef that never will i easily trust anyone ever again, or will i become emotionally attached. everyone i meet will simply walk in and out of my life... and i am willing to accept that.
