Downs of 2012


This year has many ups and downs But the downs are what put me down I struggled a lot with the deaths this year Also school stressed me out Trying to balance school and work was harder Sometimes you don’t know what to do when a person or animal dies that you know You try not to break down Its hard not to break down So time to find distractions So time to find something to cheer you up Maybe its time to stop dwelling on what happened Maybe its time to move on Maybe its hard on you Maybe its not as easy as you thought it be Maybe its way harder then you thought it be Maybe time to get over the obstacles Maybe time to get back up Maybe time not to think that the world is against you Maybe you dealt with it better the you thought you would Maybe you surprised yourself when you dealt with Maybe you realized how much of a mess you would have been if you dealt with something like that years ago Maybe you realized how much better you deal with situations now Maybe you surprised yourself Don’t get me wrong but you may not be dealing with it easy Don’t get me wrong it may be hard Heck you didn’t want the situation to happen In the long run you know you need to deal with death better In the long run you know death is hard In the long run you know you shouldn’t mourn death In the long run you know you should celebrate the life of the animal or person In the long run you are not prepared for it In the long run you know you need to learn not to overreact to stuff What you need to do is Cherish all the moments of the person or animal Celebrate their life Not mourn life Not to break down Stay strong Move on from the past This year has seemed harder than previous years A lot has happened Where would you begin Where would you end If you had to say what happened this year What would you say to summarize all of what has happened Let’s face it I know a lot has happened in my life this year But if anything I can learn from it Or to say what has affected you the most in order may be the hardest to put in order
