Reading Hardballkid's journal

"It's going to be alright man, it's going to be alright." Those were the words that were said to me be a complete stranger.

A complete stranger who knew nothing about my recent break-up. A complete stranger who made me think and caused me to stop being so consumed in what had happened. I was in Laguna Beach, sitting on a bench, with hands in my face, wiping the tears, as i was looking out at the docks. Then that wise man spoke those simple, yet meaningful words, as he was walking by, giving me the thumbs up.

What got my was how sincere and genuine he was. I just felt it and saw it with his face. That doesnt mean i wont cry or think about it anymore. But i just will look at this more realistically and perk up for i have a lot more life to live. So, whoever you are, whatever your name is, thanks man. I really appreciate it.

It's the simple things in life that really make life worth living...

Now are ye undeceived! Welcome, again, my children, to the communion of your race!
