the passing

Remember when life was simple and when disappointment only lasted for a few minutes and then it was on to something else? Life was so much simpler when we were young and here we are now, sitting in this period in our lives where choices are perhaps the most difficult and the consequences greater, the disappointment lasting. There is no answer to what we do in these troubled times, just moments that we must find the strength to realize what we have, and what we don't and what we never will have. Sometimes we must find our nitch in this world, some place safe from all that we must encounter, sometimes we just need time to grow, time to learn about the world.

Disappointment is only one part of life, and we must learn to grow in it and see what we have over what we don't. We must look outside at the sun setting behind the hills and find the moments of strength, to look into the eyes of the one we love and to find comfort in their love, in their encouragement. It really is alright, even though it hurts, it really will pass.
