When Life Throws Grenades Your Way

Every big event in a person’s life forces one to stand in front of the mirror
and evaluate one’s self.
You learn new things and you see life from a different angle;
sometimes it’s for the better,
sometimes it’s for the worse,
but a change nonetheless
and if you don’t change
then you haven’t learnt anything.
It’s a progression where you see yourself on the other side of the mirror,
the other side of nowhere,
and see how you’ve grown.
But you should know
that the mirror doesn’t show you progress,
it only shows your face
and what happens in your life doesn’t change your appearance
only experience.

Unfortunatly,
I’m sorry to say that you can stop hoping for greener grass on the other side
because the sky is just as grey over there as it is over here.
When you’ve finally taken that step into the other side of nowhere,
you will be disappointed over how little you have changed
because you never will.
It’s an illusion,
it’s so easy to slip back into your former self
and human beings are an extemely comfortable race.
