Realization


Today I realized that life don't get handed to you on a silver platter. I learned that my life is what I make it and the choices I make in my life is the decisions Imma have to deal with. Yesterday I learned that shit happenes for a reason and I will never know why. I learned that the people I call family ain't really family. The day before that I learned that having a smile across my face is what makes me beautiful. I learned that giving up won't help ease the pain but what will help ease the pain is trying again and again until I get it right. But today is the Present and yesterday and the day before that is the past; so why does it matter what I learned in the past? It matters because the things I learned in the PAST is what brought me to the PRESENT which is leading me to the FUTURE! But Tomorrow I will hopefully learn something new but that's only if I make it past the Present. Because the Future ain't always promised. So this is what you need to do Forget the past because We are in the Present and hopefully making it to the Future. Love,Arieal
