we lose some. we gain so much more.

sometimes news get so shocking and frustrating we decide to believe the world is cruel.

it's not.

sometimes the storm lasts longer than we expected. but most of the time it ends even before we recognize its presence. if we're lucky, we'll realize early that we're so stupid for letting these frustrations suck the life out of us. so we stop before we do ourselves any damage -- mentally, emotionally or in any way.

my sister is back in the game. with minimal hassle and littlest difficulty, she's back on track. it didn't even take her a complete full month to sulk over what she lost. in a snap, right after the holidays, right on cue, she's given a brandnew opportunity. 

this is the very thing that keeps every human being going. brandnew opportunities. when one thing's gone, another's bound to come. the wait-time may differ, but i'm sure that's how it's gonna work for me. for everybody.

and my advice, please don't you ever let go of your sanity and clarity. this too shall pass. it always does. come on, you and i know that.
