RE "Love is Hard"

It's true that nothing lasts forever.
Bread will go moldy,
flowers wilt,
puppies grow older.
It's a sad realization that nothing lasts as long as we want them to.
I remember going through a "phase" where all I could think about was what I have and love most being lost before the night is out.
How everything could be gone in a flash.
How everyone could leave and never come back.
I wrote something about it too:

Love- one word that drives us all to the corners of the world...
To find that one person, meant for them...
To spend their years staring in those same eyes...
To hold the hand that will never loose its power to mend all pains...
To hear that same voice that calms you through all thicks and thins...
Too bad there's no corners to the world...
And those eyes will keep changing...
That hand will come and go...
That voice will bring on new complications...
And love will hurt us all...

But, soon as I found a tiny alleyway to get me out of that dark cloud of confusion and stressin out.
I came up with things I could live by and think about whenever I feel down...

Although our friends will come and go.
Mom's homemade cookies will go cold and stale.
Love is lost and found.
Whats the use of worrying about the day our friends drift away or when there's no milk left in the fridge for cookies.
Although the time will come when everything has to go.
Theres no need to sit around wondering when and what to do.
Everything has to go sooner or later.
As much as we want them to go later.
We can't always determine when or how.
So, we do what we can to brush away those worries and live with what we have.
Sure they'll come back once in a while, and we'll shed a few tears and have a few minutes of worry.
But we all have to pick ourselves back up and dust off the dirt.
We have to live for the moment!
We have to love out loved ones as much as we can! While we can!
We have to cherish out friends and make the most of our time together!
School will be over soon, so CHERISH THAT TOO!
Because in the end, all we'll have are memories of what was.
Wouldn't you rather those memories be of happy and fulfilling times?
Would you not want to reminisce and smile instead of cry?
It's our own choice what mentality to adopt.
Enjoy those milk and cookies before they're gone,
Love your friends before you drift apart,
Cherish your family.
Our days are numbered.
Since day one.



Gosh I wish I was the FREE HUGS man.

The only people who can go against the odds.
are the ones who have no attachment.
were all human beings, were meant to live in large groups of people.
Its only normal..
