.the old youth

good or bad, this too shall pass. we hope to hold on to everything dear in our lives, but truth be told gain is nothing without loss. to horde everything good in our lives would be selfish, but certain things are worth being selfish over. i’ve experienced what i feel to be a great loss in my life; one that despite any attempts can never be regained. the pain i felt that day, that week, that month… for the rest of my life, i wish i’d never feel again. someday, however, i know the feeling will return; such is life.  but with that being said i’ve gain so much. it might not be comparable, but it is certainly far greater then anything i could have hoped for.  the love a sister, support of a friend; and the aid of a person far more generous then myself. everything happens for a reason, we lose things because it makes room for us to gain.
