Back in school, it seemed time was at a standstill. In hindsight, it seemed like a hell we needed to to go through and survive as best we could so as to earn our freedom. Back then, I wish someone had showed me a jar of marbles ~ one marble for every year of my life. Let's say even just 60, and pick out 4 or 5 that represent those highschool years ~ look at all the marbles left : THAT's your life, the few in your hand are just some kind of twisted test… courage and patience bridging to the other side freedom lies ahead Submitted on May 18, 2025 to contest 'YOUR CHOICE i' sponsored by BRIAN STRAND - RANKED 10TH
