NO-one ever tells you that you will likely  fall apart, that there will always be something  that doesn’t make sense and that no matter how hard you try you can never hold onto anything forever. That is, I believe the key to life. Understanding that being happy is a traveling Carnival. Some attractions we will enjoy, while others will frighten us at the corner of every  step we take.  No-one ever tells you that nothing is meant to be, That life is an idea. An idea that from the moment we open our eyes in this world we begin to construct. That we can be happy, Sad, and afraid all at the  same time.  We must place more trust in what we cannot see, than what we can observe. In every moment there will always be something that can be fixed, So long as we do not waste all of our time trying to make the moment special. You see, Nothing is similar to a moment. A shared period  of time, usually brief, that will most likely be dearly remembered by two or more individuals for the rest of their  lives. They are the result of the universe deciding, You will be connected. Wether it is a joyful memory or a sad one, is up to you. -a.j.León

I want to be but I do not choose to be.
