My take on life

I never thought about life as much as I am thinking about it now. Everything seems more clear to me now that I am old enough to understand what life really is. Sometimes I wonder why things change so much, why can't it just be the same. But of course I know the answer very well. If life were to remain stagnant we would never have learned anything, valued life or valued ourselves. Ever have the feeling that nothing seemed to changed but suddenly everything changed? Well I feel that more often and sometimes I feel happy. I welcome change, because without changes my life would have been boring. 2010 has been the first of those years where changes were infinite and lessons learned were insightful.
               "Life is a camera, face it with a smile", life is an ice-cream, eat it before it melts", life is..blah blah...Life is so many things. For me life is simple. I live in the present. If I get hurt, I cry. If things are going well I smile. I don't want to be strong all the time. Then when everything gets back to normal I feel like life is amazing. My feelings and expressions are not constant. Life changes, I change with it. Every teardrop is necessary and every laughter meaningful. I don't believe that we have to smile and be happy no matter what happens. Its just like speaking out your feelings. Be sad when something bad happens and be happy when something good happens. Nobody's life is perfect, nor are we. We come close to perfection by understanding our life and learning to deal with it better every day. Thats what life is to me.
