A Castle Built on Sand
For as long as I can remember, which I assure you is far longer than you can say, I chased wealth, riches, and control of my path. I saw those as influence, gold, and the freedom of having no one to tell me what to do, where to be, or how to live. Such luxuries seemed so distant to the common man and woman, and required time I did not have to spend. Through life however, I learned that time has no equal in price, and sacrifice of ones self has no reward that is greater earned in return. I learned these lessons through error, and error again. I walked blindly with my eyes wide open but so focused on what played in my mind, and not what lay around me. I spent what no one person can ever earn back.
