Life always takes away, sometimes when we least expecting. It takes away friends we care about, people we love the most and everything else that’s there, it just takes it away. It even takes our time, keeping us out from doing things we need to do
It takes things it won’t use, but take it anyway because it’s so used to taking. It always takes and takes, but barely gives back. However, through it all, there's only one thing it always leaves behind for everyone to grab, “a lesson to learn”. It leaves a lot of them for everyone to learn whenever it takes something away. So instead of crying when it takes something you value away, open your eyes and learn something out of that. You might not use it now, but you can bank it as experience.
If you couldn’t protect it until life takes it away from you, don’t blame yourself, but you have to make sure you learn something good out of that and be grateful you learned something out of it even if it’s a very bad situation
For instance, your first real love was the best thing to ever happen to you, but it never lasts long because life took it away from you. It took that precious moment from you, but it’s the reason you know how it feels to love wholeheartedly because everything else that followed probably got shadowed with fear of being hurt again. Be grateful for that because now you know exactly how it feels to be in love
Your parents were not there when you were younger, life took them away from you, or it shifted them away from you, but you’ve turned out just fine. You can relate better to those who grew up saying mommy/daddy, probably came up at the top on that list
It took you so many years to get your first real job, because life redirected to someone else all the opportunities that were coming your way, all the jobs that were there to everybody else except to you, but at least you know how hard it is to find one. Don't underestimate those who are walking the same route you once were, labeling them as lazy. They are trying, but their time hasn't arrived
Friends, family, strangers, were all by your side, you thought you can always count on them, but they all vanished. They left one by one until there was no one left because life happened, it did what it does best, taking everything. But you realized you can stand on your own. You can stand by yourself without depending on anyone. Their absence revealed your capabilities, everything you probably never knew about yourself
You are not where you wanna be because life keeps playing hide and seek with you, don’t sulk, but make sure you learn something good out of every experience
“Nobody promised the road to be easy”, but we are all destined to get there in due time. Don’t sulk, nor give up when things don’t go your way, but always learn something with every challenge that comes your way and make sure you always come top
“It’s all about one day at a time, one day at a time”
