but what does it really mean.....

she believed

that spring was the only season

that could make you look at everything as a new beginning

~~

she believed

that being happy

was the only choice you could ever make

that would ever really mean anything

~~

she believed

that being patient was a gift that people are born with

and

that if it had to be learned

it would never be fully grasped

~~

she believed

that trying to change someone

was the only thing in life that was

truly impossible

~~

she believed

that believing

in herself

was

the only thing she had any control over

and

somedays

that belief

was a slippery little sucker that she had a hard time holding onto
