I was born the day after spring officially started

With the brightest blue eyes

The weather was finally warming up after a long winter

To welcome me into the world

I learned the world is a welcoming place 

But it also can destroy you,

If you let it

I’ve always been one to put my fully trust into everything

No matter what

When I was little I trusted my arms

 to carry me across the monkey bars

I give my all into the things around me

I love hard

No matter what

I’ve held baby bunnies,

That I rescued from my cats

Their innocence saved

And sent back out into the wild to finish their lives,

No telling once released

 they would live 

But I trusted they would be okay

I’ve heard the loud crack of lighting 

Followed by the deafening thunder

To little me it was terrifying

I fear the unknown

The things that I have no control over

Things that just happen

And you don’t always know the end result

“Life is not fair”

That line has followed me from the time I was born until now

When ever I am complaining

My parents always say it

No matter what

They don’t hesitate to say it

It's a phrase I grew up with

There are times I want to argue with it 

But in the end I can’t 

Life is never going to be fair

But that doesn’t mean it isn’t fun

there are so many other joyful moments life brings,

One bad day does not mean a bad life

It's just a bump in the road

Like falling down on the playground

You get right back up and continue the game with your friends

The “bad moments” in life make the good ones,

Even better

For me, I look at life like learning to water ski

You know that your going to fall 

But you know the end result

If something is just handed to you

You won’t appreciate it

But if you work for it you’ll cherish it forever

That’s why my parents never let me give up on water skiing

I thought there was no way I could do it

But today I couldn't imagine life without it

Never give up

Giving up will never get you anywhere 

It’ll keep you thinking about the what ifs

Never give up

Life is a continuous circle filled with ups and downs

Don’t let it stop you

Even when times get hard

Remember the moments that make everything seem worth it

The little things 

Are the most important to me
