You are the pretty rock, amongst all the ugly ones.
Days pass by and nothing changes, but everythings different. we are still the same people weve always been, but somehow somebody new. each day that passes by us, we make decisions, we make mistakes, we make friends, we fall in love, we cry, we yell, we smile. and each day that passes, we wonder why. the wondering will always be with us and never stop. we wonder why we bother…we wonder where we will end up…we wonder who it will be with.
we sit and we try to recollect that exact moment…when everything in our lives took a turn for the bad…and when they took a turn for the good. we try to pinpoint the moments in our lives that alter us…but we fail to see that we are to never know. we fail to realize that every day is a changing event…that every day alters us.
we could assume certian times are significant in who weve become, such as the day we met someone, or the day somebody left us…or the day we move away, or the day we get that amazing new job or got into college…but its the little extras that make each of us special. its the moments we never recognize that interests the hearts of others around us. its that day you kissed a random and realized the real person you loved. its that day you saw your mom cry and you never wanted to hurt her again. its that day you finally smiled after a really bad storm and the flu. its that moment you felt any kind of difference in your life.
but we dont seem to grasp these times until someone points them out to us. until someone says, “what makes you amazing is all the little things you do and have done.” we always feel like ourselves, but its others that can tell when we arent. its others that can define who we are better than we can. for we are blind to the true wonderful people we actually are.
thank you. to those people who help me to see the light in the dark room. to those people who remind me how special i can be. to those people who see the real me. you are the moments that have altered my life.
