Gardens of Death

They will kill you slowly from inside

It ruined me for the longest time.

"No, you can't do this."

"No, that won't work."

"No, just do your job and stop saying shit."

Had I been stronger to understand that my thoughts were correct but the context or situation was wrong, I would have built my own Garden of Life sooner.

But I hadn't hit rock bottom yet or been afforded the opportunity to come from nothing.

I came from everything. Or everything any one person needs to make it.

I'm not sure if you have to come from nothing to build one's fortitude, but I apparently do.

My dad always said, "You learn things the hard way."

While that was never intentional, it just is. My brain never stops.

It's only the past 5 or so years that I've learned (the hard way) that the only belief that matters is the one that you have for your vision.

If you're building someone else's Garden, that's fine but accept that for what it is.

You can't fight that directly.

I wasted a lot of time doing so.

If you can accept that you're building someone else's garden, then work with them to keep building it.

If you can't accept that you're building someone else's garden, then you need to go build your own.

You need to build your own Garden of Life.

Only by building your Garden seed by seed can you learn to believe.
