As I grew older I learned
to stop hating you,
and start loving you.
For your ruthlessness
is the lamp showing me
to keep my heart kind.
For your darkness
is the night teaching me to find
my own light,
no matter how hard.

One can’t live with hate – and I suppose one conquers those feelings by coming at it from a different perspective. And that usually coms with age.

To be able to live with those nightly visitors, no matter what they are is one thing, but to actually find a way to grow with them is excellent… I wish I had those tools
