I’m sure we all remember growing up. Wishing we were adults so we could drive, be cool, have kids, a family; Have a job, go to crazy places woth other languages, we dreams of the impossible. Reality hit us pretty hard. The reality we live in isn’t as secure and safe as we once thought. People can be monsters, your family could abandon you, love can truely break your heart. “I’ll never smoke, drink, or do drugs. I’ll have alot of friends and be famous” Remember a quote thats similiar? One we would all repeat in our mind.
Sadly, things aren’t like that at all. Bestfriends abandon you when you need them most, Loves will cheat, deciet, and lie to you. Emotions can haywire, disease can destroy you. Your invincible mother and father? Are as weak and helpless as yourself, and even they can ruin your life. Taxes, then bills will consume your life, all those toys have to wait. Money left over is rarely spent on yourself and most struggle just to get by.
Dreams will fade, ambitions lost. The sky will dim, its once aqua hue gone. Superheroes? They lost this one kiddo, they all did. The bad guys run you, control you, even walk beside you. Now, lets review the follies of this life: Death, Disease, Famine, Hunger, Thirst, Teen Pregnancys, Abandonment, Cruelty, Abuse, Hopelessness, Exhaustion, Anger, Hatred, Jealousy, People, Rejection, Identity Crisis, Loss, Pain, Agony, Despair….
This world you once thought to be beautiful, is just an ugly rock. Beauty barron, hope evanescent correct? No.
When the world is seen through the eyes of true innocence, no greater truth can be beheld. This world may be ugly, yet search within. You will have countless fits of laughter, marathons of smiles, adventures spanning the globe. You will lost alot of loved ones, yes. However, look at what has been placed in their absence. Your very own family. You will love to limits unknown, and have the opportunity only we as a species have; to make a choice.
Not go out, cherish the Oxygen you breathe, the grass beneath your feet. When heart break occurs, ask if your heart is still beating. You can live without them. When dreams seem insurmountable, offer the staircase an extra flight. When you feel inferior, look to the sky and ask if the water basks in the same rays as the land. When death looms, look to the seasons. For we do find beauty in the death of leaves; For it offers fertile ground, for lifes true revitalization.
