That's just life, she said. Sh/t happens when you're least expecting it, and all you can do is try keep your head above the surface. But see, that's the thing about drama. No matter how high the waves rise, the tide always recedes in the end. You will always, eventually, be beached on land. You can always start again. But it's up to you to get up, dust off the sand, and start walking onwards.
It's human nature to romanticise the past, degrade the present, and create ridiculous expectations for the future. I don't remember how hard depression is, even though I might still have a few scars. I forget, when I give a freshman a hug and tell her everything will be okay, that once our positions were reversed. It slips my mind that once upon a time, I was the kid who was too loud and too passionate and too obvious and just too much. When I laugh at twelve and thirteen year olds desperate to grow up, it's as if I was never one of them when I most certainly was. And as I sit here, choosing cars and apartments and universities and jobs, saying things like "God, I wish I could be a kid again," you have to understand that I no longer remember the darker parts of being young and foolish. ///////////////////// Because this little girl grew up.
