Everyday You Learn Something New

Everyday of my life I have learned a little more of what its like to live, breathe, and accomplish. Something that people tend to take advantage of. We are presented with challenges everyday, we are given choices to make some harder then others but I dont need to explain this because everyone reading this knows what I mean. the old saying where you make lemonade out of lifes lemons, well it works for some people to think this way and others it doesnt. We are all given a chance to make something of our lives and to see that chance leave someone close to me literally has torn more from me then I am willing to give. So when is the point at which you just say "it is what it is, it will be what it will be" and give up? If you know the answer please tell me because I have not figured it out yet.

Someone really close and really special to me is going through a change, she is being forced to grow up a little slower then she would like to. How do you tell someone that slow and easy wins the race? How do you get it through to someone who thinks the top of the world is within her grasp when in reality you see it falling farther and farther away? Again please fill me in if you have the answer to this magical equation.

It reminds me of when I was 16-18 and I thought that highschool was the highest of the highs and college would be the icing to the cake I was enjoying. I loved every minute of high school, every friend, every boyfriend, football/basketball/softball game, every piece of it meant something special to me and was potentially life altering. Do  you remember those events? those times when you were sure your life was over now? Its a mystery to me and all I can say is that i am thankful that those moments faded with time and my reality changed enough so that those moments became silly and meaningless as i grew older... so how do you tell that to someone inthe moment of total chaos and loss of control? How do you tell them that in a year you will laugh at this situation? Or do you even bother? is it best to let them figure it out alone?
