In the blink of an eye

Things change. People grow. No matter how hard we try, things change. It's out of our control. There is nothing that we can do. Some of us have things that follow us through our lives. Always there, always begging to stir trouble up. In the blink of an eye a world can be turned up side down. Emotions can run high, until they run out of that fuel that keeps them going. There comes a breaking point. The point in which we can not continue. The question is, do we want to? Do we want to repeat the same things over and over again? Do we want to put ourselves in that position over and over again where the tears fall and the anger rises? Are we really hurting ourselves then? In the blink of an eye the world can change. Things are said that can't be taken back. We grow into our own selves. We become who we are. I believe the way we are raised plays only a small key in it. Children see how we act as adults. They hear what we say and soak it in. Our children look to us as role models. If a child goes bad, does that mean it's the parents fault? There are so many questions. So many answers but not to the right questions. We say things and people are free to take them however they want. It's hard. But things are changing. Relationships are changing and that's fine with me. I'm tired of the circle. I'm getting out now, and I'm staying out. I've been in it way to long. I'm breaking free and hoping that I never go back... From this day forward I put my daughter and my family first. I have a wonderful boyfriend and an amazing daughter. They come first. They are my family. I know that I have other family and some support me in what I do and some don't. I'm not here to make others happy, if me being with some one makes that person happy then great, but I'm here to make me happy and take care of my daughter. I'm here to grow old with the love of my life while having fun.
