have a little faith

How is it that life can be so full and complete one minute and in total disarray the next? How can you have everything that you thought you wanted out of life or at least a great portion and then just let it slip through your fingers? Life would be so much easier if we knew the morals to the stories before we had to live them. Almost like stories read to us as children, only they would be stories about adulthood; life’s responsibilities, love, and marriage...only I guess as children you wouldn't know a god damn thing about what the story was trying to tell you. I guess it all comes down to faith.

Faith in yourself that you made the right choice the first time, faith in others that they will always be there for you and faith in that the future will be just as bright as you always dreamed it would be as a child. The realistic side is that sometimes you get let down so much that that’s all you know...so when something wonderful does come along you find yourself not having that faith and only second guessing your every decision. How do you regain that faith once it’s lost? I guess it starts on the inside and works its way out. The greatest thing anyone can accomplish is to be happy with ones self. Only then can you in turn be happy with someone else and make them happy as well.

Someone once told me that life is about second chances. I just hope we all have the faith to realize when those second chances come around!
