Remember as a child when you would run through fields, climb up trees, catch fireflies, swim in the ocean and do whatever your heart desired without fear of consequence? You didnt worry about whether your hair looked alright or if anyone was judging you as you fell down chasing after the butterflies. It was all careless, simple, easy. The change of life is inevitable, as you grow up you become more aware of your surroundings and the people you associate yourself with. Running through fields become walking down streets, crowded with unfamiliar faces in search for new things to excite your mind. Laughing every second becomes so much harder when all you can focus on is if your doing whats right in societys eyes. The love you had for your childhood pet is replaced with the love you crave from anothers attention. The stars in the sky that you believed were fireflies waiting to be caught become the only things to see you cry at night when he broke your heart. The sun you used to play under all day long until you were forced to come home when the street lights came on, is replaced by the spotlight you feel beaming on the back of your neck every time you walk by an unfriendly face. Theres no doubt that if we could go back and change the simplest of decisions weve made, we would. We all beg for a second chance to fix the mistakes that have paved the pathways of our lives but, we cant . We cant go back and erase the pain we have placed on others no matter how hard we wish or pray to the numerous amounts of gods humanity believes in. We can never wipe the slate completely clean. We can never scrub off the hands that have touched our lives and left imprints on our hearts, no matter how painful the memories that haunt your dreams may be. No substance on this Earth is powerful enough to wipe away the scars left behind from the ones that have wounded you. When the day comes, and you breathe your final breath, when the visions of your life dance across your mind, do not watch in regret and pain. Do not wish you could go back, do not have your final thought be one of negativity. Instead of forcing the stars watch your tears fall endlessly, look up at them. Let them kiss your heart and let the sun paint your sky each and everyday. Life does change, it is constant like the sea changing from calm to hell. You decide how to perceive you life. All in all, when the time comes, no one is watching your life flash before their eyes. You are born alone and you die alone. Hannah Kahn
