nothing lasts forever..

..and that's a hard fact to face.

i've learned this,

more often then not..

one minute, life is great

because you have an awesome best friend.

the next, it's not.

because he left your life.

one day,

you're completely content and happy, beyond compare

because you have an awesome guy in your life

that just simply brings a smile to your face.

the next day,

you're not.

because things just stopped.

for a second,

things were going better

and you actually had hope.

but then the fighting persists.

and it's right back to where it was.

but that's the roller coaster of life.

and you just gotta go with the flow.

but you can never give up.

because no matter how fast it ends,

or how rough the road is,

you can never stop having hope.

because everything happens for a reason.

this awful situation has a purpose.

it will make you stronger.

God has control.

you simply just have to understand that.

completely.

and you have to be okay with that.

completely.

and most importantly,

you have to trust Him.

completely.

"when the waves are taking you under

hold on just a little bit longer

He knows that this is gonna make you stronger, stronger

the pain ain't gonna last forever

in time it's gonna get better

believe me

this is gonna make you stronger"
