EXPRESSIONS WITH MARIA (EPISODE 2)

Society is as important as you make it,
Society wrecks it's havoc if you let it,
Society steals your happiness if you let it,
Society rips you apart and then picks at what's left of you if you let it.

There is no standard for the length of time required to mourn your broken heart, There is no standard for the length of time required to mourn the death of a loved one,
There is no standard for the length of time it takes to move on,
There is no standard for the limit to which you can forgive a person,
There is no standard for the number of times you are allowed to fail at something,
There is no standard for beauty or hotness,
There is no standard for practicing a religion, let your conviction guide you,
There is no standard guiding the human heart or mind.

So cry for as long as necessary,
Keep forgiving for your peace of mind sake,
Keep trying at that dream,  you ll get it right someday,
Keep hurting till it stops hurting and then move on,
Keep loving that person till you feel nothing,
Keep loving that awesome body of yours, Keep asking for Grace to live the religious life you desire,
Don't let society ruin your life with it non-existent rules,
Fuck society.
