Broken Crayons Still Color 2: Based on a True Story

by David Weaver

In life we should always be careful of who we allow into our life. When we meet a person, we're not just meeting a human with a face and personality, we're also meeting an unpredictable assortment of accumulated spirits. Sometimes we'll know a person is bad for us– absolutely toxic, and still tell ourselves that we'll be the ones to help and change this person. Many times the attempt to change somebody else, ends up changing us. Sometimes that change is for the better, but sometimes it's for the worse. Trials and tribulations are the variables that add up to life. I don't even know how it happened.

Many points of our life are life-changing, and although we stay on the look out for these moments, we could never predict which moments were going to be the heaviest. If you could rewind time and think about the major events that affected your life one way or the other… chances are, you could never see them coming. However, if you saw them coming and you still let it hit you… Then that's a person who believed they were stronger than life. For people who've never had anything bad happen to them, this was a constant lesson in reality.

Water fell, a plant grew, the plant died and a new plant grew in its place. Nobody remembers the plant that grew four generations before the current one, and nobody cared. It didn’t matter how pretty the flower was, it still got pulled.
