The grass always seems greener on the other side
Always seems a bit brighter
Always seems a bit clearer
Mind wandering, wondering what ifs
But there is a reason you are living the now
Where joy mixes with sorrow
Excitement with fury
Sadness with ecstasy
The consequences of your past decisions laid beneath you like shadows
Something to be draped and shown
That you have one life
No time for reflections in the mirror
Learn from the past
Look forward to the future
But Live in the present

Happiness
A friend once told me that happiness was different from feeling pleasure. Happiness is the dealing with struggling, enduring, and accomplishment.
This was so true. Happiness is never just pleasure. That is the culmination of the tribulations you face.
Struggle is a necessity in life as you struggle to live, struggle to find the hard answers, struggle to be yourself. It is the defining obstacle you face in the pursuit of happiness. Without struggle, there is no meaning in happiness. Struggle give you character, gives you the experience needed to be truly happy.
Enduring the tribulations of life is one of the most difficult tasks to be done. To know you won't be happy but to continue to do it. To know that in the short term, it will hurt you so much but to continue to strive for it. Enduring the pains and suffering of your struggle in order to reach
....accomplishment. When you finally reach happiness and understand what it truly means to be here. My journey hasn't found its destination yet. But I strive to be there.

Sarifice
Nothing is ever worth getting without some sacrifice. Whether it be love, dreams, hope, and even desire, you got to give something to get something. I feel like I'm on that crossroad too.Tumbling out of control and lost. I always thought things were simple. That everything would work itself out in the end. I would fall in love, get married, raise kids, and live a happy life. Life is rarely ever that simple.
Sacrifice. The art of giving something to get something.
I feel like I have everything I ever wanted. But to me, there always that something missing. A gear misplaced? There something that I still wish I had. Is it risky to do? Hell yea. But sometimes, you just have to risk it all to obtain happiness. The worst thing you can do to yourself is tell yourself your living a lie. That no matter how hard you try to screen it, you know whats really there. You know your true feelings and your true emotions. No sense in hiding in comfort when exploration is on your fingertips.
Its so scary to give in but sometimes you have to experience it to understand. To forgo comfortably and familiarity in order to embrace new experiences and new passions. Sacrifice. The hardest thing to do to journey to the unknown. But whereas would you be without adventure. Whereas would you be with a sense of exploration into the unknown. Life isn't always captured in a vacuum. It isn't a scripted manuscript for you to follow. No, life is what you make of it. You just have to free yourself and live.
Sacrifice. To get something you have to give something. And to get something, you have to lived.
