You know you are doing the right thing, but that does not take the ache away. You cannot change what was to what has happened now; you cannot force someone to be something they will never be. You need to press on to find peace. The ultimate remedy is time. It doesn't matter where other people are in life; maybe they seem to have it together but you can't live on jealousy. The fact is, people's lives fall apart in an instant and who's to judge one story from another. We all have our own individual path's; one is not better than the other. Our lives are ours alone and we must accept where we are along this journey. We must embrace acceptance that we have the keys to our own lives and that our lives are not a mistake, a failure, or a joke. We are who we are; it's okay to have good and bad days. What matters is that we are still here to breathe the air of the earth and there is still time to reach for our dreams. We must live each day to the most and pray and not lose our hope and our joy.
