Life

The first things you learn in life is that it's never fair. You see it everywhere, "why does that kid have nothing and I have everything? Why is he so happy when I'm unhappy?" And I'm not talking about envy. I'm just saying you notice these things, when you're growing up. Those of us that come from a broken or incomplete family see it more often than most. You need to actually fight tooth and nail to be happy and even then you might not accomplish it.

Parents like to shelter you from the wrongness of the world, but that's just doing us a disservice. How can you expect to protect your children from reality?? They're gonna find out anyway, sooner than you'd like. I learned at the staggeringly young age of 4 that I was no longer innocent and naive. Makes you wonder what I saw or heard that actually made me open my eyes like a new born.

Life

What a complicated thing it is. If one could call it that. An existence where the outcome is unknowable, where your decisions are measured and weighed to impact your life negatively or positively. Makes you wonder what the right and wrong choices are.

I've learned so far that there aren't any. This is no right choice or wrong. It's as simple as a choice, a decision. Your decision and your choice. Life may not be fair, but it's still yours to do with it as you see fit.

Tooth and nail, remember. Tooth and nail...
