On The Verge of Tears

People like to say, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worst.  But I disagree.

The people I care about are many.  Some of them I know are having the time of their lives right now.  Their new baby has changed the way they are, and also, literally,  physically look to me.  I’ve never seen them so happy.  It only makes me care for them more.

Another friend is on the verge of her divorce, sometimes hoping things will get resolved and love will find a way, and sometimes packing bags to go away forever.

I have friends who are hoping for the best, or fearing the worst, yearning for something better, or feeling things couldn’t be better.  And I’ve felt all those emotions at some points in my life as well.

There are good times and bad time in our past, and in all of our futures.  I’m hopeful that we get to help each other together through the bad times, and enjoy each other during the good ones,  right now, in the present.

Suffering is the pain of expecting things will last last forever.  Both the good things and the bad.   We can’t predict the future, and we don’t always know the right path to take.  It’s not a bad thing to want for the best outcome, and I always do, because hope is not a four letter word.

But time changes everything…and it’s always for the better… eventually.
