You may have to dig deep to find it but its there. Everything is the same even though its different. Somehow everything connects back with your life. The faces in certain places may be different, but the situation is the same. Irony is a hidden factor that creeps around us in life, letting its presence felt only after it has left. Picture back to a year ago and the situation you were in. Look at how things are different yet somehow everything it still in someway cognate. Everything connects together to form the balance of life, to maintain structure. Change is and always will be inevitable, but everything is relative, and all the moments and times in your life will come back around again, you just might find yourself on the other side of the coin. Things are always changing, as fast as everything stays the same.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Speech is silver; silence is golden. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17792]]></link><description><![CDATA[Speech is silver; silence is golden.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17792</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Shout now!
