just a memory

Just a memory??? I think not.

Memories. home, friends, family, former friends, hometowns, ex-boyfriends, hairstyles, college, jobs, vacations, crushes, road trips, and everyday life. I love it all. The memories we have, both the good and the bad, tells our story and all fit into this big picture that defines YOU.

it's funny though how all it takes in life is a change. A move, breakup, new step/path in life, or a new job. Leaving something behind while looking forward to something new. Change is good, but change is also hard. The important thing to realize above all is people change. So one day you may be the best of friends talking everyday and before you know it you haven't spoken to them in days, weeks, months, or even years as you begin wondering to yourself, "How in the world did this happen?"

Life keeps moving, we keep moving. But memories stand still, and each day we create new ones. until one day, when we're old and wrinkled, we smile and look back at our lives through photographs and/or journals and say, "wow. i had such a good life. I am so blessed."

just remember when you're down, sick, depressed, alone, or struggling with something, anything there is always someone who has it worse than you do, because it could always be worse. However someone out there may even be struggling and suffering with the same things that you are.

Life is ever evolving so be grateful for who you are, where you are,what you're doing and who you're with.

life is beautiful. it really is. change is a good thing. it really is.
