there comes a time

There comes a time in life when you let go of all the petty drama and bullshit and move on with your life. Whether it be the drugs you find yourself hooked on, the number of women / men in your life, or abandoning your children because you've found something better than them.  In my opinion there is nothing greater than the gift of your children. They were sent to this earth to be there not only for us, but to complete their journey. Whether it be a dream they are after, or whether or not it be to better someone else but maybe rescue someone. Children are not only the key to our lives, but the heart of our being. They teach and show us things that we never imagined could be let alone happen, and show us a side to ourselves we may have never known existed. Ive found not only do we take life for granted, but the memories and those around us as well. I mean think about it, how many times have we treated those poorly around us and ignored them when they needed help in return after helping us. Or maybe the memories we have had with others, acting as though things may never go wrong. However, when you least expect it they always tend to go that way that we had least expected...then what ? We have the feeling of regret, the wishing we could either go back in time and do things differently or take them back all together. But then reality hits from the unexpected moment, whether it be from losing someone, everything, or being diagnosed with a life threatening illness..the guilt the emotions, they never seem to leave. So instead we either learn from those mistakes or not learn at all and never let it phase us and the cycle keeps replaying itself. Maybe in the other hand we may take that first unexpected moment and learn from it not only better ourselves, but make a difference upon another life whether it be telling our story or giving a hand to help them realize..so call it a tidbit of life..the life that saves ourselves and shows us what really matters. Because if not then what do we have to live for, let alone hold onto.         People say that life ..just happens and that things happen for a reason, but do they really and how can we be so sure ? Only we have control of our lives and what goes on. So therefore we as adults,children, what have you must own up to our responsibilities.  I've seen those whom have worked so hard for what they have and whom they've become, thAt not only are cherishing the moments in life but protect those thAt they care about around them.  And yet they somehow always end up losing everything thAt they have worked for regardless how they have been as a person, and no matter how hard they try they don't ever seem to catch a break. Not only from losing the things they worked for , having their plans and dreams crushed, but to having even e littlest memories that mean the most taken from them such as pictures, childrens toys etc. It's so sad to me that no matter what they do or how hard that they try nothing works or helps them, and that it comes to the point that they come to taking things from Innocent children. How can you live with that let Alone do that to an innocent child/ children whom not only look up to you bur follow in your footsteps. Is this what's the worlds come to accusing and taking things or hurting innocent people all because it makes you feel better as a person ? Because to me its lower Than life and its not something I want to let alone be associated with but say I'm proud to be an American. Because why be proud when innocent people are being killed, raped, taken advantage of regardless of any situation..who could honestly be proud..with the wars innocent killings of children in overseas because they were put in situations because of cowards..it's sickening to me, and I don't want to be apart of that, would you ? I don't know to me its a shame what the human race has come to no matter what your race,color, or religion we are all guilty of something..and I can honestly say that I am afraid for my children to grow up in this world let alone what things will be like for her when she is older...how do you feel about your children, or grandchildren growing up in a world with so much hate or violence etc..?
