Day 14: Why Good Things Come To An End

Hello stranger,

So I've finally settled with writing 'Next Time' at the end of each post instead of 'Tomorrow'. Now it doesn't matter if I write the very next day, or ten years later. Although my theory is still going strong with my point about the 'Tomorrow' thing. Maybe writing 'Next Time' will mean I'll be able to write every single day. Like today. I wrote 'Next Time' at the end of yesterday's post, and here I am today writing again. Why am I even making such a big deal about this right? Did I mention I was a fussy person? Yeah, that should cover it.

Moving on. We all know that the human population is somewhat a very ungrateful bunch. We complain about this, complain about that, we often wonder: "When does it ever get easier?" Or "Why me?" And when all else is falling apart, we wonder why good things indeed, come to an end. The people we love eventually leaves us, they die, the people you know becomes the people you knew, or simply your favorite drama comes to a finale. I can't say for sure that I have the most accurate answer for this question, but I do have an answer. Did you ever stop and notice that whenever there's something good, there would always be something else along the way that will ruin it? If not, change it completely? Think about it, it applies to every aspect. See?

Nobody always have it easy, not even celebrities, no one. No matter how hard that is to believe. I don't understand why some people go on about how hard their life is. That person could be you, or me, or someone else. But as hard as it may seem for us, there's always someone out there who has it harder than we do. It's now just a matter of what attitude we choose have towards it. Whether you carry on, or sit in your room and whine about everything in your life. It's your choice, it's always been. I mean sure, I have no idea what everyone's going through, and I'm not going to say that I know how it feels because I don't, but there's definitely something you can do about it.

Things come and go for a reason. It could be to bring something in your life that would give you a really big realization, or something much more simple. But why do good things come to an end? I asked this question to a person when I was going through a rather hard time a few months ago. He said something along the lines of: "Because if sadness didn't exist neither will happiness. If there was no sadness we wouldn't be able to appreciate what 'happiness' really is, it would lose its meaning. If everyone was always happy, there'd be no such thing." And there's the answer I was looking for. Probably not what I expected, but it made so much sense to me, and it helped me move forward. I also realized that it's actually almost too hard to imagine what it would be like if everyone was happy. Everyone would just be a block of plastic-like creatures. In short, nothing. Like having no emotions.

I always like to think that when everything's at its worst, there's something good that will come of it. Maybe not straight away, but it will come. Sort of like a really slow cycle. You do the math. It's just like what they say, "When a door closes one more opens." That should be enough to keep at least one person going right? Giving up is not an answer. You have the freedom to act. Use it. It may not give the greatest outcome, but never stop trying. You'll see that it's worth more than you could ever realize.
