We are who we are
We become what we become
We cannot change our future, but we can take steps to forge it
If we do not take these steps then our futures are doomed
So think before you act
Think before you speak
Don’t let life keep you down
Always rise to your feet
Treat others the way you wish to be treated
Remember to spread the peace
Don’t knock down others
Always help them to their feet
For we are all humans
Whose actions always make a difference
No matter how large or how small
So remember to think about others
Before you think about yourself
Because we’re all trying to move forward
And we could all use a little help

Here I am again, passing through the wind like dust, without a care and without a purpose. I am happy, unconditionally happy. I hope this feeling never leaves my body, I wish to be happy for all eternity, but unfortunately all good things must come to an end. It is unfortunate indeed but if happiness never ended we would not be human, but something much greater. Our sorrow is what defines us, it’s what drives us, it’s who we are, and it is us. When sorrow comes knocking, many dread that it will never leave, that it will forever linger on the edge of their emotional plain. But it won’t, I promise, sorrow never lasts forever. It comes as it wishes and leaves just the same, but I promise you sweet child that the storm will pass, light will shine through the darkness. I do however wish that you would learn to live with the sadness when it does come knocking, open the door with open arms and embrace the pain and enjoy it’s company when it’s available because if you take it for granted you will miss it when it’s gone, forever hoping for its return, missing its lingering taste, sour and bitter while at the same time sweet, sweet beyond belief. Happiness may reign king, but sadness is a cruel and rewarding queen always leaving her mark on her subjects. Next time you experience happiness always remember this, sadness is close to follow but unlike happiness you will always remember it. You will remember how it destroyed you and rebuilt you all in the same lifetime. How it whispered sweet nothings in your ear and how it left your heart cold and desolate, and warm, and kind, and humble, and filled with all sorts of goodness. Embrace the dark cloud sweet child and do not submit to defeat, for sadness will break you down and help you rise to your feet.
