“ its something we cant control. nothing you know of now will ever be the same. the girls and boys you kiss will evolve. the relationships you share will be tested. the jobs you have now will one day become nothing more than an interesting anecdote over dinner and your parents will not always be there. your dog will die, your cat will get old and the body you think is gross right now will inevitably get worse.
everything you know. every last thing you know will change. to be honest, this is the thing that has been bothering me the most lately. the inability to stop time. its so frustrating it makes me want to take swings at the air and hate god. but what i realized while riding my bike down ashland avenue today is that just because everything is moving along, doesnt mean we dont have a decent shot at controlling the direction of the boat. we cant stop the water but we can control the current. terrible jobs will only eat away at our souls.
vapid friendships will steal time, and unhealthy relationships will not only rot but become breeding grounds for animosity. we might not possess the ability to stop the flow or to freeze kisses and emotions. and while we can attempt to capture moments in pictures and video, know that every flash, every button you push and every kiss you pull away from is the mark of an ending and the shine of a beginning. we move forward from here. when you close out of this window and go about your day nothing will be the same. me, you, your pets, parents, relationships. every single last thing will change. a persons past is nothing more than a story. a stepping stone to what we have become. but what truly makes who we are, our character and the only thing that we should ever judge each other upon is what we are doing now and what we aspire to become.
