Sometimes,
In order to listen to the heart,
You have to silence the mind.
Sometimes,
In order to love,
You have to hate first.
Sometimes,
In order to find the light,
You have to sit through the darkness.
Sometimes,
In order to love others,
You have to love yourself first.
Sometimes,
In order to find the true beauty in a person,
You have to find the hidden uglies first.
Sometimes,
In order to pick yourself up,
You have to throw yourself away.
Sometimes,
In order to find the diamond,
You have to look in the rough.
Sometimes,
In order to be happy,
You have to simply believe in no one
Other than yourself.
