Fate Will Only Take You So Far. The Rest Is Up To You.

Jun 19, 2004 21:23

Everybody here is living life in fear of falling out of line
Tearing lives apart breakin lots of hearts just to pass the time
And the eyes get red in the back of your head
This place will make you blind
Put it all behind me and I'll be just fine

Another sunny day beneath this cloudless sky
Sometimes I wish that it would rain here
And wash away the west coast dreamin from my eyes
There's nothing real for them to see here


Everyday things happen that we cant control. We all adjust and handle things in different ways. Rather its laughing it off, crying it off, dealing with it, or just acting like it never happen. We all dont take it the same way. But why?

Everyday of our lifes we see someone hurt. We see someone smile, laugh or even cry. We go about our lifes thinking nothing of it. Its normal it happens. But why?

Why do bad things happen? Why do people get hurt? Why do people cry? Why do people die? Why do people say mean things that arnt really ment to be said? Why do things happen the way we do?

Lately Iv seen alot of my friends go through things that shouldnt be happening. But they do. And theres nothing we can do about it. Except make the most of it.

Every single day of our lifes we go through things that we dont like. But we make it through. Every single time. So what makes one situation different from another? Yes one might hurt more, yes something worse may happen. But you made it through. You didnt let the last bad thing stop you from smiling. From laughing. From waking up every morning and starting a brand new day over. Now did it?

Since you were little you woke up every morning. You were breathing. You were living. You were feeling, touching, smelling, hearing. You were blessed with these senses. To live your life the way you wanted to live it. You were giving the opprutunity to do something with your life, to make something of everyday. So why arnt you? Or why are you?

Its life. Things happen. People change. And theres nothing you can do about it. One thing Iv realized lately is that we all have our problems and situations that we cant control but we make it through dont we? We are still living arnt we? So why let just another "life problem" stop us from the goodtimes that we do have. The crazy nights with friends, out partying, having fun, going to the beach, shopping, seeing an awesome movie, buying a amazing CD, staying up late talking about the most randomest things with your closest friends? We all want to be happy. We all want to smile, laugh, be loved, and have fun. So why arnt we? Why do we let things get to us if we know that one day that thing that is hurting us or bugging us will be gone?

Im tired of seeing the people I love get hurt. And as much as I would love to protect them and save them and give them everything they deserve. Im only human. And I cant.

So instead why dont we make the best of every situation.

I dont know if any of this has made sense.

But we just cant control everything that happens. So why even try? Why even let it bring us down? We live once. (In this world at least) There is ONLY one June 19th, 2004. What are you doing? Are you doing the best you can do to be happy. To make the best out of today. To make today something to remember.

Make yourself happy. Love yourself, love your friends, love you family. Be thankful. Dont ask questions. Just except what happend. It happend for a reason. And one day, rather its tomorrow, next week, next year, next decade, you will understand why it did or didnt happen.

We all go through bad times, but at one point or another, we are on top of the world.

If everything was good. If everything went as planned. If everything was perfect. Wheres the excitement? Wheres the mystery? Wheres the curiousity of life? Whats so great about knowing the happy ending before you know the rest of the story. Because

Behind every smile, every tear, every laugh, every cry. Theres a reason, theres a story, theres a life.

I love you all.
