Have you ever felt that you were brought into this world to know pain. To grow from that pain. Think about it, if you have never felt pain. or sorrow, or regret, then you have never grown from anything. If everyone was content and happy with everything they did. they would obviously keep doing those exact things. Pain is a part of life. You learn, grow, accomplish obstacles from pain. It's the worst way to learn from your mistakes, and they aren't even mistakes half the time. Just life. Because when you feel whatever kind of pain you're supposed to feel, you know you will never make that mistake again, if it was a mistake you made. Or, you will learn from that, it will only make you stronger and wiser most of the time.
I lost two very dear people to my heart today, and let me tell you, two blows like that in one day, its hard to make the glass appear half full then empty. My Grand-father passed today. He was in his lower 70's and died of old age and was sick from smoking his whole life. He was house ridden for almost 4 years. My Grand-mother took care of him the whole time. He was 100 pounds when he passed. He is somewhere now fishing and is breathing easy with his family.
Second, I lost a girl that taught more to life in the past 4 months than anyone has my entire life. She was a women who was strong, probably to strong for a BOY like me. She knew what she wanted in life and from herself. She brought out the best in me, and the worst. She made me question what I've done my whole life. And some people would take that a bad thing, but really...when your the guy that everyone comes to, to talk to, you hear everyone else's problems, ideas. I gave everyone advice on what they should do, while never taking my life into the picture. She turned the camera on me. Put me on the spot, and made me look into my soul and stare. I needed it. And now I count down the days when I can say she is mine.
Peace baby-ma, I hope you know you're my favorite thing about the East coast.
