A bare canvas, never been tampered with. This is how we begin. Blank, no expectations, no experiences, no fear. Although, no one ever stays that shade of white  - it is inevitable. The company you keep is your predicament. Things can go wrong and you can be angry as much as you please, however, it is not the worlds fault for the relationships you chose. At one point in your life those were the people you wanted to be with, the people you mirrored yourself upon. What they have left us with is forever imprinted in our minds.  It takes time to regain the virtuousness you once had, because you remain cautious. Yet, what it teaches you and gives you in return is the best reward you can ever ask for. I am forever and always thankful. I am lucky x
