Fide et Amore

For those that didn’t make it into your future, I think they’re still with you in a way. The person they were at that time, whether it changed or not, is a part of you. It’s influenced the person you are now, and you’ll always have them lingering in the back of your mind. Whether it’s someone who is still alive today or not, the person they were at those very moments mean something to you even now. At the end of the day, you can’t help but love them. There is time for grief after they’ve moved on, in both senses of the word, but then you need to move on yourself.

That’s just how I see it, but it helps me get on with my day. People are always changing, and it may or may not be for the better, but knowing that I got the chance to be able to recall memories with such great people leaves me smiling at the end of the day. They may have passed away. They may have done horrible things to me and put me down so low, but I can’t bring myself to hate anyone. I can’t hold grudges. It doesn’t even matter if they hate me today and want nothing to do with me. Not everyone makes it into my future, but it definitely does not mean they haven’t made an impact on my life during the time they were a part of it.

I say these things because I know what it’s like to go through hardships in life, whether it be with family, friends, or just oneself. I’m living proof that things do get better and there are things to look forward to in the future. If not for yourself, it’s at least worth getting the opportunity to meet the people and experience the things that would otherwise be missed out on from constantly dwelling over the past. I don’t know, I just thought this might help someone that happened upon it. I don’t ever want to feel the way I did throughout the past year again. If I had the mindset I do now, all of my pain could have been lessened and the duration could have been greatly shortened.

does anyone else feel like dropping out of school and becoming a teen titan

I’m reaching so high into the sky for my dreams that I’ve wound up in the clouds once again

The in-laws are over, and they left a huge mess of water all over the counter in the restroom. Not only that, but they left toothpaste stains all over the top of the faucet, practically soaked the mats, used my bar of soap that was set aside in its own container, and apparently think they can just walk up in my room without knocking. Even my parents knock before trying to walk in. Can’t even sit around my own room with just my boxers on.
