People always say things like “why do the good die young” and “good things happen to terrible people”
but in my 17 years of living
I’ve learned that those are just sayings that are used to make people feel better about the terrors of life
they’re just excuses
they’re just reasons to avoid the truth
I’m not a religious woman
but I do believe in a higher power of sorts
you see, my god isn’t the kind of person who allows terrible things to happen and only accepts certain people
my god isn’t a god
(s)he isn’t an untouchable force
my god has feelings
my god has personal interests and my god has sympathy
my god feels for the poor and cares for the wicked
life is filled with a lot of horrible truths
like death
and deception
but life is also filled with a lot of beautiful truths
like new life
and new perspectives
life is a magical thing that everyone on this earth has been gifted with
but one must try to keep in mind
that life isn’t a right, it’s a privilege
and no matter what it throws at you
it’s a gift
