Life is full of surprises. Whether it'd be a repeated event or something behold to you as a sign of change. It could be anything. From the gift of the heavens, to the damnation from hell. One would say "This is the best day of my life" or in contrast, "Why did this have to happen?" The answer to either of those remains null. Perhaps there is a mysterious presence granting you such moments, or it could be just a process of everyday life that everyone experiences. No one will ever know for sure. No matter what, change must come, whether you're ready for the new threshold or not. Nothing will ever stand still in life. Nothing will wait for you to get up after a tremendous fall into disaster or a waterloo to your existence. The only thing that will stay the same, however, is the law of life: change and live, or stay still and die. There are those who accept this fact and embrace it fully, yet there are those that fall behind. To understand this, imagine playing "Follow the leader" in the devil's playground. If you fall, or drop out, you will get left behind. Period. That is how life works. It isn't pretty, it isn't clinical, but it's ruthlessly efficient. Besides...only the strongest survive; those who are willing to give up their sanity, their well-being, and, as counterintuitive as it sounds, their life—their splendid agony—all for the sake of survival. That is where the true meaning of life defines itself hithermore. For there is no turning back. No second thought, or chance or song alike. The order is simple and straight forward: survive.
