i've learned
that
indulging
in pleasures daily
take away their shine
and sooner or later
you forget what made them so special
and patience
really is a virtue,
though very hard to have
and friends
can be made in an instant
can be kept or forgotten
or time can make them fade
but memories will never die
if you dont let them.
people grow and change
sometimes for the better
sometimes for the worse
or somewhere in between
but i've learned
that you have to let them change
and just because their dreams
arent the same as ours
doesnt mean that they are wrong.
i read this once:
'you are always
everything you ever were'
it was written on the bathroom wall
in a coffee shop.
i thought about it
i dont think its true.
because when i was young
i believed in everything
especially the impossible.
i was innocent
and ignorant.
i'm not that child anymore.
and i thought about it some more
i think its true.
when i was young
i was innocent
and ignorant.
i believed in the impossible -
sometimes i still do.
true or not, it made me think.
horrified that i was the same
and couldnt change
and yet at the same time
glad i have learned and have changed.
i guess it all depends on how you see it.
perspective IS everything.
because everything can be anything and everything
if you let it.
throughout it all
i've learned
that life is precious
and the little things make it worth it
memories and dreams -
no one can take them away from you
not even yourself.
so hold onto them
because sometimes
they are all we have.
