Walk the Line...

"I love you, June. Now I know I said and done a lotta things, that I hurt you, but I promise, I'll never do that again. You're my best friend. Marry Me."
-Johnny Cash

Our hearts can be strong and forgiving, especially in the wake of a friend's beautiful disaster. You see brilliance and talent, love and pain and joy. You see redemption with in reach and you believe that someone can change, for the better. Hope lives within us, and sometimes we get that moment, the moment where we are capable of giving someone a second chance.

Now, I know alot of people say that you can't change someone and ultimately there is truth in that, but if you factor in that we are partially shaped by our experiences and environment, than you have to consider the whole picture.

Firstly, in everyone there is a desire to be loved, and we have all been loved differently and shaped by the love of our families and lovers. If we have the capacity to give second chances, then we need to have the wherewithall to understand who we are taking care of...only rescue those who would rescue you right back and at some point would have the strength, heart and soul to do so.
