She looked right into my eyes and said “Little girl, you will stand upon this rock.
And on it pleasure will come your way.
Pain too will come.
Learn to take both of them.
The rock you stand upon will support you.
It will hold you down.
And when all seems dark, this rock will shift by pushing itself upwards.
As it rises you shall also rise.
Whatever happens, little girl, I tell you today.

Be tougher, bolder, keep it real and be true to your inner self.
Because as long as that rock is still on the ground you can take the pleasure and the pain too”
Then she smiled and turned away to look at the hills that were covered by pines.
