"...beat goes on..."

currently listening to:
m.i.a :: come around

this is so true and comforting:

"When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you but merely opening your hands to receive something better."

i'm tired of letting my guard down enough to give it my all to end up being hurt
but...
i know it's part of the process.
and i really believe you have to do that to have no regrets.
i'd rather be hurt knowing that i gave it my all than wish i had opened up more and have regrets.
