Changing the first thing you want to say to the world is never easy; it's not difficult either - if you never try to change anything you want to say anyway, and you never change, do you?

 

Here is a lesson I have been hoping to learn.

I rehearsed for years before you let me audition. I wrote words for myself until I told you I was writing. I want to start over. Maybe get a new job in a new town; maybe the short side of the stick will be the method I take to find the path and I will be on my way. Maybe everything I don't like and all the wrong I see along the street each day will vanish and anything I say will be the right words and I won't have to rehearse and all of this will be okay.

My little spell on you that I cast was just a fraction of the world and a decimal point farther than the grammatical issues you all are facing every single day. Don't be shy; I have the resources and won't think at all about explaining the correct way - for sure I will ask you something about a problem I can't solve someday.

I have to be grateful for those who have destroyed me as much as I am grateful for those who have mended me.
