Hope for the simple things

It is so sad to see all of those people having to suffer with such great loss. I think to myself how thankful I am to have as much as I do. Things that we take for granite are others dreams and wishes. Simple things such as the laptop that I write on and the roof that surrounds me are things that most people take for granite, not knowing that it could all be gone in a blink. One blink, one breath, one word everything can change so instantly, findingyourself with loss and nothing, but the surroundings of sadness. Hope is what is needed, and changes of ways should be met, the simple things in life are free, but what are the simple things today? The air we breath, and the things we see, hear, and smell and the ones we love and the love we give, are these the simple things. It is hard to imagine such loss amongst so many people, the fear they must have and the sadness they feel, the happiness that they will find someday and the way they will live. What will they do? The only thing to do is to believe that there will be change and help for them all.

I have recently noticed the crows feet that hide on the side of my eyes. I am 27 and some days I feel as if I am 57. I have accepted the fact that I don't have an actual career, and most of my friends around don't either. We spend most of our days wondering what kind of men we will end up with, and when. When, is always the question I ask myself, "when"? I am now considering my self just a check mark on the 25 and over box, like those questions check here if you are 18 to 25. I know that I am a year and a half past the check, but reality has set in. What to do? I guess I could probably just wait around, or I could try to enjoy the rest of my twenties! Life is full of opportunities its just they don't always wave a red flag that's says, "come and get me."
