Perspective

life aint always a breeze

sometimes in life you have work for the things you want most.

sometimes in life you have to wait for the things you want most.

sometimes in life the things you want most never come.

sometimes in life you have to settle for the things that you have.

sometimes in life you cant want more than youre given.

sometimes in life you must choose to be happy.

but sometimes in life, with that choice of being happy, youll have everything you ever wanted.

i am that person.

Somebody That I Used To Know

But you didnt have to cut me out

Make out like it never happened and now we were nothing

And I dont even need your love

But you treat me like a stanger and that feels so rough

No you didnt have to stoop so low

Have your friends collect your records and then change your number

Guess that I dont need that though

Now youre just somebody that I used to know

you win some, you lose some

one of the hardest things is letting somebody be happy even if that means that, for the time being, you wont be happy. you have to let things be and in time theyll get better. it might be hard, but just keep looking up and youll see the sunlight through the clouds and things will get better. people do things for a reason and those reasons are normally good reasons. nobody who truly cares about you will hurt you. they will protect you.

reminder

sometimes the things we want most are the hardest to get, and we just have to practice our patience because all good things take time.

its been a little bit over a year and i still can hear the sound of your voice perfectly. i miss the way that you looked at me when i did something dumb. that look of concern telling me to be smarter the next time. i know though that you always believed i was smart. you always made me feel better about myself. you taught me so many things i know. one of the biggest things i miss about you is your cooking. you were always the best i knew. that was one of my favorite parts about going back to see you. i always could expect some of the best food. i remember the year that you taught me how to make baked alaska. i tried it on my own this past year. it wasnt as good. but at least it gave me a memory of something we did together every thanksgiving. you know, you raised the best son. hes the best father i could ask for. you taught him so well, and made him so smart. he taught me everything else that i hadnt learned from you. you know, even though i may have not talked to you much, you were my best friend. every time i did get to say something about how things were going i loved the way you just would listen to me. i miss you so much. <3

:)

its time to start all over again and begin the next greatest journey of my life.
