When we were younger, being emotional or downright depressed would seem typical of a self loathing teenager. We would glance across blogs like these, say something like ,” orh…okay…next…” and move along to something more important. Not much attention would be paid.

As the number of candles increase by the year, these frustrations and pain seem more real. Some of us ignore it,  some of us muck around in doom and gloom, some of us find distractions like work, some of us find comfort in sharing, some of us enter relationships.

There’s apparent truth if we were to say that problems grow more real with age, and minor petty things that get us down manifests into larger insidious parasites. They lie and wait in the dark corners of your every being, waiting for opportunities to surface and consume. They feed on happiness and joy, slipping in unnoticed when you let your guard down laughing at a happy moment until its too late.

All of us make sacrifices, it would be foolish to say that I deserve more  just because my sacrifices are more than yours. Life does not and will not make such  compromises. What life does is that it presents us with opportunities, and its up to people to show each other that your sacrifice was appreciated and worth it.

We make decisions and we stick by them because changing them announces to the world that initially you were wrong, and our ego can’t take that. But there’s nothing wrong with changing your mind, pride is a little commodity that we can do without. Everyone deserves their chance, even if you feel that there’s no hope left, or you’ve given them more than enough chances… but whatever we do… we must never give up.

Every Dog Has Its Day…

Hopefully that day will be sometime soon.
