50 years, gone in the blink of an eye.
You grew up with the people you love most, carried memories of those you’ve lost but loved most. You buried emotions too hard to accept, then screamed in silence. Some days you succeeded, some days you failed. You found pride in certain moments and felt less proud in others. Took chances, missed a few, but never had regrets. You loved, you were loved, you were hated, didn’t waste time hating back. You stayed, you walked away, shed a tear at times, but you never looked back. You dreamt, lived, worked, believed, smiled, cared, hoped, cried and then again believed, hoped, smiled, cried, worked, cared, lived, dreamt… on random repeat.
And just like that, 50 years.. and tomorrow, the next, and the next, will be, gone too, in the blink of an eye.
