It's scary how fast time goes by...
It's scary how fast things can change...
It's scary how many times in our lives
we have to say goodbye...
It's scary how many people
have found themselves staring into space
as they wonder what's next?
Everybody has a dream that they
hope and pray will become a reality someday...
Everybody has a nightmare that
they wish will never come to pass...
Everybody has an ideal life
that they always imagine,
which within their mind can seem so real
and so tangible that they can almost
make themselves believe
that all they have to do is
simply to choose to
get out of their own way...
Everybody has lost someone
who has meant something to them -
and the best way to remember
and to honour someone, in my experience,
is to take the time to stop
what you are doing and realise
that every moment is like a page
being turned in a book,
which soon transitions from being the present into becoming the past,
which leaves an impression
but not always one that is meant to last.
Life, like the universe,
can seem so big for such a small word...
Life, especially when we are young,
can seem too incredible and sometimes too unfathomable
for our minds to handle...
Life is a question with an answer -
but you have to stay until the end
in order to find out...
Life is complicated and emotional...
Life is not always good
and life is not always bad...
Life is a riddle that some people
work out slowly but surely,
while others take a more direct approach
and miss the point of why
some things happen
and why some things don't.
A traveller of time and space once said that:
"Fear can be a superpower" -
and, if you think back over your life
and everything that you have been through,
you will realise that though things
might not have gone how you
might once have envisioned they would
things happened the way that they had to,
because life consists of each and every one of us
making a difference and leaping
into the unknown with a secret:
that "No One Is Ever Alone."
