"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together."- Marilyn Monroe

Jealousy

Advice from the Experts - A Poem by Bill Knott

I lay down in the empty street and parked
My feet against the gutter's curb while from
The building above a bunch of gawkers perched
Along its ledges urged me don't, don't jump.

I am jealous of this poem, because it is such a brilliant idea. I says to read it twice, I had to read it 3 times to understand the whole thing all put together.  It is brilliantly written and makes you think hard about how it's written.
