It happens to everyone, we know that.

     It comes and goes in waves, we know that.

     Maybe that's the thing about life. We move forward blindly, in the back of our minds we keep the faith that it's all for some purpose, and we keep a smile on our faces. 

     There are people that love us, sometimes they're not present in our lives, sometimes they're here but they don't speak out, sometimes they speak but they don't say the things we want them to say, sometimes they say those things but we don't feel what we thought we should have felt. 

     We look on as other people dance the dance. As they talk amongst themselves, go online then offline, whisper things in each other's ears, and smile for the rest of the world to see.

     We appreciate the spectacles of life. Life itself never ceases to amaze us. This is the best time in the history of the world to be alive, even if we can't live forever, we're here, and we try to leave our marks.  We try to express ourselves, through words, through music, through writing, through our eyes and the movements of our bodies, through the things we believe in. 

     It's never easy. For anyone. So why should we be any different? Life moves forward, day by day, and as we get older, let's pray we're also getting a tiny bit wiser. 

     It will always get better, and we will smile again, we know that.
