They told me...

Don’t be foolish.
Don’t choose five stones over one gold.
Don’t sacrifice your true friendship to please a crowd of people.
Don’t choose water over wine.
Don’t judge someone based on what you see, have you truly tried to understand them?

Don’t be contented.
Just because the wind blows, it doesn’t mean that it’ll always blow the same direction.
Just because what you did was successful, it doesn’t mean it’ll work the next time you do it.
Just because you can swim, it doesn’t mean you can’t drown.
Just because you’ve achieved something, it doesn’t mean that you can’t lose it.

Don’t be ignorant.
Just because the compass points home, that doesn’t mean there won’t be mountains and valleys in front of you.
The answers you get will not always be the answers you wanted.
Big stones are easily avoided, but it’s the pebbles that caused one to stumble.
Big problems will be resolved, but ignoring the small ones will cause you to fall.

Can’t go on, the list goes on.
“Don’t be proud, don’t give up. Don’t stop here, let’s move on. Don’t listen to them, you know your heart. Don’t worry, be happy. Don’t shut down, open up. Don’t to that, it’s not right. Don’t do this, not my wish.”
That’s what they told me. Now I’ve nothing to give, I’ve nothing to get – just to let go.
