good things

i learned a lesson today.

there are a lot of good things, and good people in this life but,

just because someone or something is good,

does not mean they are good for you in that moment.

sometimes, the good thing is withheld from you because you are not prepared for that good thing.

or, there is another good thing in store, for later.

or, perhaps, the good thing is simply not your good thing.

and sometimes it can seem like the goodest of the good things. it can.

and sometimes you may think having many good things is okay,

but too many of a certain good thing,

is bad.

candy is good,

but too much, causes cavities.

loving with all of your heart,

giving your heart away,

is good.

but too much of that,

causes loneliness,

self neglect,

and discontent.
