Every stone they throw at you allows you to gain more knowledge. You either learn how to adapt to the pain, avoid getting thrown at, or probably even both. Although every hit you take damages you both physically and emotionally, you still manage to move forward as a better person - carrying and picking yourself up amidst the hurt and the despair. In life, there will always be stones along your path and there will always be people more than willing enough to throw them at you. You will get hit intentionally – that is if you are lucky. There will be times where you will be hit by accident and there is nothing you can do about it but shake your head and walk away. Regardless, no matter how much you try avoiding this, you WILL definitely get hit at some point.

Yesterday, a huge rock hit me. It was from someone that I really trusted with my life. Oftentimes, this person would just hit me with very small stones by accident and I would just ignore them. This time however, it really hurt like hell. With all the hate seething inside of me, I threw stones back. Even if I was able to get even, I still felt immense pain. It was so bad that I was crying tears of anger. Yeah… picture me driving home, holding back emotions as tears were rolling down my cheeks. All these while maneuvering through traffic on a lightly tinted car with the whole world to see. Yeah, I know, it was VERY unsightly. Beggars knew well enough not to knock at my window.

So, my friend, if you want to throw more stones at me, now is your chance.
