Heartbreak.


We all go through heartbreak.
We go through the heartbreak of
watching our first crush play with
the other girl on the playground.
We go through the heartbreak of
not making it into the school musical.
We go through the heartbreak of
watching families fall apart and
watching natural disasters
tear apart a community.

There are a lot of
different kinds of heartbreak.
Tonight I experienced a
type of heartbreak...
and man it sucks.

I have a friend, and he's an amazing person.
I met him up at college
at the beginning of the year.
He has gone through some
pretty hard things in life.
Today we talked for about
5 hours starting at midnight.

We talked about what he's
gone through and his regrets.
His teenage years consist of
drugs, drinking, and a very low moral standard.
His life has been VERY different from mine.
Where I had love and support he had
peer pressure and people who
really didn't care about him at all.
It's hard for me to hear because
you can tell that he has gone through hard things
and I don't know how to be a comfort.
It's heartbreaking to see his perspective on life.

So this message goes out to him.

No your life hasn't been easy.
No you don't get everything handed to you.
No your life hasn't been a walk in the park.
But you are strong. So strong.
Never give up and remember
that there are many people that love you.
And a lot of people who will
do anything they can to help you, including me.
This world is a beautiful place.
Enjoy it :)
