Life

Is sometimes raging like a river,
Swift as the wind blowing through the trees,
Crazy as a sandstorm,
Or, sometimes, just sometimes...
It's calm like the sea.

Right now, it's calm.
Some of that is due to choices that I'm very glad I made
Because I couldn't do it anymore.
And I'm thankful for what I realized I've always had:
Love. Family. Friends who I talk to almost every day who are like family.
A special other to cherish.
A drive like a freight train.
A future.
A bright, bright future.

So hold fast the positive.
What will always be there.
What is who you are.
Purge what doesn't fit you.
Purge it. And run far, far away from it.
Learn from what is presented to you.
And discover what you were born to do,
Because that will change how you see...literally...everything.

We deserve to enjoy life.
So when the waters are serene, enjoy them!
Because there will always be more storms.
And we must always know how to ready our sails.
Keep going even when you can't see the light!

In the end, we are all just trying to get through this world while leaving a legacy to be admired.
