so as i walked among the sand, gazing at the setting sun near the painted horizon, every little thing that i have experienced seemed so small. him and them were just young fools. they and her were nothing but little specks of dust. it was something that helped me grow stronger throughout the years.

maybe life likes throwing things at you until you crumble. or maybe life likes tossing junk over to see if you stand up against it. maybe life is just an experiment for the conductor and we're just its hamsters. whatever it may be, whatever it could be, i let go of these burdens that have cost me true and pure happiness.

i kissed him goodbye with my pride. i waved her away with my dignity. i strode along with my courage. now and only now was the true beginning of my happy ending.

now and only now was the true beginning of my ebullience.
