After my first really big and hard relationship a friend sent me an email. It was a poem or quote or what ever it was… it was called beautifully stated. It went like this.
As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to
ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably
more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so
remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best
friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry
because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you
love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've
never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute
of happiness you'll never get back.
Don't be afraid that your life will end,
be afraid that it will never begin.
And in all honesty I thought it was a crock or shit. All it talked about was the bad stuff in life when all I wanted to think about was the good. But then after some time and a very life changing
senior year of high school did I realize that no matter how hard I tried to ignore the bad stuff it would always be there. It took me a year to learn what our parents drill into us from the moments
we are out of the wome. Life is never easy. Respect is something earned. And regret is never something one want to feel. One year. That's all it took for my life to turn upside down and teach me
lessons I never new I had to learn.
Oh! By the way, I'm Sakura Haruno…and this is my senior year.
