Refined (and Defined) by Fire [E] Entry for the Sr. Mods "Freeze Frame" contest. |
Hi, Sophie. This is a really beautiful piece written by a very beautiful person, and I can't thank you enough for sharing it with us! Yes, it's a little sad that this happened to you, but as you said, it has made you who are today. I'm not as religious as I once was, but I do believe to a point. And I believe that some higher power puts us through ordeals like this to make us stronger and to teach us that there are people in this world who have it a lot rougher than we do, and why we should just be happy to have what we have. I'm a pretty tough-skinned old gargoyle, Sophie, but just between you and me, this did a bring a tear to my eye. But it was tear of joy, because you are one strong and beautiful person! 'I didn't say that, though, because if I hadn't gone through what I went through, all of it, every bit of it, I wouldn't be the person I am today. I wouldn't know the things I know, and I wouldn't have the gifts I have because of those life experiences.' That says it all right there. You truly are an inspiration and a Godsend to others, Sophie! My only regret is that I can only put 5 stars on this, because it deserves at least a hundred! Kee ponw ritin gon, my friend! PLEASE! And thank you for sharing this with us!
