Changes

When I was young, I lived with my near-age cousins in one roof. We played a lot. Even though I was often the butt of jokes, we had fun. But one day, they had to move. I told myself, "I wished this hadn't happen..." A few years later, I had a friend next door. We also played a lot. Building Legos. Even though he was possesive and won't let me go home, we had fun. But one day, my family had to move. I told myself, "I wished this hadn't happen..." A few years later, a monster entered my life. Lurking in the shadows. I began to see the world around me. One day, I was utterly distorted. I told myself, "I wished this hadn't happen..." A few years later, I stepped into highschool. I had a lots of friends, good friends. Highschool life is priceless. But one day, I had to part with them and stand on my own. I told myself, "I wished this hadn't happen..." A few years later, my friends at church were perfect. We would go together here and there. Like there's not tomorrow. But one day, they had to leave. Leave me alone. I told myself, "I wished this hadn't happen..." A few years later, I stepped into college. I learned to find and express myself. Made lasting friendships. College life is priceless. But one day, I knew I will part with them too. I told myself, "I wished this hadn't happen..." If these hadn't happen, I wouldn't be the person I am today. Hardships are unevitable but pain is only in the mind which for now I must endure. As the saying goes, "This too shall pass."
