Change..

Sometimes life throws a curve ball. We want life to turn out a certain way, the way we want it to be. Yet, change happens. Change is the curveball. Our lives are no longer the way we want it to be. Change happens because a failed relationship, death that has taken a love one away, someone close and dear to you decides to enlist, or simply we grow up. We grow up and we learn that we can't always have it our way.

Sometimes when we do things the way we want to everything falls apart, or so it seems. Nothing ever seems to go our way. We try too hard to make it last, to make it work, that we end up pushing that person away. We don't want our family and friends to die, especially when it comes too early. We want so badly for them to not enlist, yet we want them to be happy that we support their decision. Yet, when we finally let go of this need to control everything to control our lives and the lives of those around us we are free. Free to experience life as it should be, by letting the pieces fall into place.


Soon the unexpected begins to happen.


It seems life begins to fall into place. You grow from lost relationships and learn from your mistakes. After losing someone after a long battle with cancer or some other disease or an unexpected accidet, you find that you grow closer to others. Life is thrown into perspective for you. You realize just how short life is that you decide to embrace every opportunity thrown at you, whether its pizza with this guy, helping someone in need, or simply being there for someone. Through support of your enlistee you grow closer, appreciate each other more. The most important thing is to not live a life of regret, but embrace every opportunity as if its the last.
