Slowly, then suddenly all at once
The moment fades
And the person you always thought would be there
Was suddenly gone
The way the leaves fall
At the end of autumn
One day they’re there
And the next
You’re staring at a bleak tree
And you try to remember the bright colored leaves
But you just can’t seem to
It’s like
Knowing you’re going to miss a moment
While you’re still living it
You have to create new memories
And you’re tired
You’ve spent so long creating something so wonderful
And within an hour
Everything is gone
And you’re stuck with all these memories you don’t know what to do with
Friends aren't always there. I've learned to cherish the moments and move on.

Life is not about the sad and the hopeless.
Life is not about death and loss,
because if life was about all the bad things,
If life was black and white,
life wouldn't be worth living.

Life is about laughing,
so hard your stomach hurts
It's about a baby,
laughing for the very first time.
And their laugh,
makes it feel as though there is no bad in the world.

Life is not black and white.
Life is bursting with color.
There is more good in the world than there is evil,
and people seem to forget.
They focus on the bad.
They only see the cruel people of this world.
Happiness is not a luxury.
It's not a privilege,
it's a right.
Everyone has a right to be happy,
every single person.
There are so many good moments in life to focus on the bad.
