Life



Life
What they don’t tell you when you come into this world is that sometimes you never wish you arrived.
SOMETIMES the pain overcomes the happiness
Sometimes the stress and anxiety overtakes your mind
Sometimes you wish you can go back before you can ever get ahead
When you are young all you ever want to do is grow up but no one ever tells you how much you’ll miss yourself.
YOU’LL miss your family as this disappear more annually
You’ll miss your friends as they vanish quicker
You’ll miss the mornings you had with your mother on a day with no worries
Everyone wants to know when we will realize all of this, but nobody is ever prepared, the first 17 years of your life is nothing but the calm before the storm.
MAKE every moment in your life like it’s the last time you’ll be here
Make every time you spend with family the best time you can
Make the little things in life bigger and leave the bigger things as they are
A boy will never know what it means to be a man, looking back is all you can ever do, and hope things will get better
IT will make you stronger
It will make you wiser
It will break you down into a million pieces
THROUGH all of this will be learned when it is your time, when that little person comes into your life not knowing anything but how to breath , not knowing the immense responsibility that has arrived apon one’s self, there is no preparing for the amount of love and crippling emotions one will feel until you feel it you will know , you will know that nothing is more important that the pure soul of that child while it becomes apart of yours, until you see that smile walking in from a long hard day at work and the unconditional love that child will have for you , in a weirdly twisted way that smile will be worth all of the pain and suffering one will endure to give that child everything you once hoped for no matter how difficult or deteriorating it will be on your body and mind , because that smile will be all you need to remind yourself that everyday is a new day ,problems come problems go , sometimes you’ll feel like you’ll never be a good father ,but trust me you will be , you’ll know when it’s time to forget certain emotions and memories, it will come to you when you least expect it, all you can do is one thing at a time ,because
Sometimes You’ll Make It Through
