Blink of an Eye

Everything changes, everything progresses. One moment you are looking forward to the future the next missing the past. They say the grass is greener on the other side but yet no one is ever satisfied with that side. It is innate feeling that there is always something better. Sometimes it feels as if your feet are burrowed in the sand and there is no movement in either direction. Others seem to progress but you seem stuck. Forced to move forward but unprepared.

The luck never comes at the right moments. One thing piling on top of the other. One mess after another. Squinting hard can show a slight glimmer of excitement but there are all the mountains to climb to get there. Would it not be easier just to have the answers an know what to look for? What to hope for? What to focus on? Where the disappointment will appear and what happens afterwards? What people expect? How people will act? What people are thinking but not saying? Would this not make everything have a clear answer, a crystal understanding, better dynamics?

People seem to feel being honest because it may make the situation uncomfortable or hurt another person's feelings. Nevertheless, in the end it is far worse to just let the problem fester. One party makes assumptions and the other bottles thoughts. This only leads to complications. A straight forward blunt answer may seem hurtful but it does not leave the scar. I know personally I tend to struggle with this thought, yet when others do it to me it frustrates me to no end. Don't play games be honest. It is the only way to achieve what you want, know the other person's thoughts, and to pick up the pieces and start over. Cracks are almost worse than breaks because cracks cause crumbles that cannot be fixed. Why does society imply the importance is the acceptance of others? This becomes primary focus and no one acts themselves.

Find what makes you happy. Be who makes you happy. Figure out how to let go of the thoughts weighing down in your mind. Do not avoid. Face the problems and come out on the other side as a stronger individual.
