Growing Up

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder ever time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.

If having things turn out the way you wanted them to, is the measure of a successful life then some would say I'm a failure. The important this is not to be bitter over life's disappointments. Learn to let go of the past and recognize that everyday won't be sunny. And when you find yourself lost in the darkness of despair, remember it's only in the black of night that you can see the stars and those stars will lead you back home. So don't be afraid to make mistakes, to stumble and fall. Because most of the time the greatest rewards come from doing the things that scare you the most maybe you'll get everything you wished for, maybe you'll get more then you could've ever imagined. Who knows where life will take you. The road is long and in the end, the JOURNEY is the DESTINATION.
