Dear Life,From the moment


Dear Life,

From the moment I started to realize what you were you started to throw curve balls at me. When I tried to figure you out you played with me. Always doing something or sending something my way unexpectedly. You seem to have a love hate relationship with happiness. You are not fond of happiness for a reason that is unknown to the world. People also often talk about how you are not fair. You are this mystery to the world that everyone is trying to figure out but cant quite get a handle on it.

Life I have slowly started to love you even when you do not reciprocate the feelings. I have not figured you out yet, but I have come to the realization that I do not need to. You have your own plan and I have no choice but to go along with it and see where it is that you wish to take me. People say that you are not fair, but indeed you are because you are the same with all. Some just have it worse than others. Even though you do not seem to be clear on your inttentions they are clear.

You are trying to help people fulfil their purposes. You push people and keep pushing. You do it in the best way that you know how in order to get people to think and really realize and understand. You may seem like foe, but you really are friend. People just do not yet fully understand you. I just want to say thank you. Thank you for the ups and downs and the good days and the bad days. I've really started to understand you and your purpose and now all I have to do is figure out mine. So all I really want to say to you life is thank you.

Sincerely,

R
