Part 2: Solitary
They don’t tell you that you will have to accept that certain things are over; the perfect job, the perfect relationship, the family portrait, the idea friendships.
They don’t tell you that things can change overnight and you will have to deal with the mess and the aftermath. But they also don’t tell you that as you get older, you get better at healing, you get better at leading, you get better at facing it all without loosing your mind. You learn that life still goes on without some people. You learn that you can get caught up in a hurricane and come out of it unscathed.


They don’t tell you that growing up is a project you’ll have to work on for the rest of your life, but the good news is, you’ll always find with in you what it takes to complete that project. You’ll always find within you what it takes to do it yourself. They don’t tell you that growing up is a lot tougher than you think, but so are you.
