Life is pretty boring. We're born, learn how to talk and walk, then we go to school for twelve or more years then you have a family, a job where you work till you retire then die. Just a cycle of repopulation it seems.
But it's the moments in between that make our lives different. Our cultures, religious beliefs, and environment that separates everybody from acting like robots.
We all have different personalities for a reason and we have past and present experiences that shaped who we are today.
Our friendships from the day we were learning how to draw to where we stand now have changed drastically, we have lost and gained throughout our lives, but the people who left were never meant to stay but to teach us a lesson; that lesson could have been good or bad but no matter what they taught us something.
The heartbreaks we've gone through have changed many people in different ways. Most of us have been cheated on, in an abusive relationship, were used, or just drifted apart but everybody has somebody out there for them no matter who you are but you need to search and go through some broken hearts to find them. When we find that missing piece to our puzzle all the past heartbreaks were worth it in the end, but we must remember that two halves make a whole but if one half isn't complete their can never be a whole.
The random people we see throughout our lives also helped us in some ways. No matter if it was big or small they are another part of our lives, some can ruin our whole day but others make us feel great. The people who called us names or were jerks to us or hurt us so bad we felt like they actually broke us so bad we didn't think we could get back up again. Those people may have negatively affected us but they taught us that we can't trust everybody we see and that not everybody is meant to like us or be our friend. They may have broken us but in a way they helped.
The people who put a smile on our faces at the end of the day, they don't have to be a special someone. The strangers we talk to some give us life advice that we may or may not take, some help with a problem you tell them about, and some just make you happy because they have a nice attitude that brightens your day. They haven't helped us in big ways a lot but they made one day better.
To the people who didn't make it to see themselves with grey hair may Rest In Peace👼 as they hopefully will come back stronger than ever but they taught us that our end is never known. They taught us that anybody could be gone the next day without warning and that the saying "sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me" isn't true and your words could mean the life of another. Those people have taught us that no matter how much you hate somebody and think you won't regret the last thing you said to them, you should always apologize even if you weren't at fault, learn to let go no matter how big the situation was or is, and that everybody has feelings and emotions and can be hurt. And when they are gone you can never take back those last words you said to them.
To the parents around the world, They may get on our nerves but they are family. Blood related or not they are the people who raised us. Our mothers always cooked us food and kissed our boo-boos better and she would always comfort us when we are scared and they get bitchy at times but they taught their daughters some manners, how to cook, when to bite our tongues and when to stick up for what we believe in, they also taught their daughters how to handle ignorance and never give up on the ones you love, and to be caring, to push ourselves, and to keep an open mind. Our mothers taught their sons to be honest and nice to others, some how to cook and to never steal.
Our fathers although tough at times they taught their sons how to drive, to push themselves for a better future, and how to play video games. Fathers also taught their daughters that not all boys are bad, that she is special, and to be the best she can be and maybe more. And to the families who don't have a mother or father because they died they are still with you in your hearts. Some mother and fathers weren't in our lives for other reasons but they are still in our blood. They may not helped us in any way but they are still there with us if we like it or not and they helped bring us into this world.
Those are the few of many ways people around us have helped us throughout our lives. Everybody has bad days and good days but everything happens for a reason.
