I was going through my work email today and trying to clean out some of the older items I've saved over the years and I came across this poem. It's author is Timothy Harrington II and it describes some of the experiences and emotions I've faced in the last few days.
Beautifully Stated...
As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time.
You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken.
You'll fight with your best friend.
You'll blame a new love for things an old one did.
You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love.
So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.
Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin.
I feel like I've had to take a step back and re-evaluate decisions I've made and situations I've put myself in. Through this reflective phase, I've been working to be able to let some things go and start over. But most of all, through the happenings of this week, I've learned that I'm stronger than I ever thought I could be. Sure, life is a roller coaster filled with many obstacles, but I control my happiness.
