perspective. almost everything can be changed with this simple word. your life could be better or worse, the times you are having could be great or wasted, you could be rich or poor. it is all your perspective. and we have the ability to change ours. unfortunately something usually has to go wrong to trigger this. something bad has to have happened, something taken away, it was all so beautiful before this but we simply did not know.

it is why we say the youth is wasted on the youth. they dont understand how good they have it, that after a certain age the direction changes. the downward slope gets steeper, time becomes harder to deal with. if only they knew. but perhaps this is why it was also so fun, because you did not know.

the consequences of it all are coming home to roost. a life unvalued will be tested, medicine and misery await for the sunny days no more. to fight or to flee, was this ever a choice? do we make these choices or are they made for us? if we miss the plane were we always meant to miss the train?
