Do you know

what it's like to have your world turned upside down?
to find yourself shooting through the sky in a blaze of crazy colours
like a rocketship with no place to go
a man with no place to be?
Do you know what it's like to fall in love with a person you can't have
and then find out that they'd fallen in love with you at some other time
and some other place
life can be cruel
but it's beautiful
is it worth it?
I don't know
Do you know what it's like to fall down hard and fast and far?
I do.
It hurts
both metaphorically and physically.
Life is full of glorious highs and painful lows
The trick: learning to take it all in stride
the good and the bad
but never the ugly
because accepting that something is ugly
is like giving up on it- saying that something is ugly
is actually saying that you are too lazy or weak to see something beautiful
life, in all of  its goodness
and in spite of its badness
is beautiful.
Life is beautiful.
