"I sometimes wonder why is it that life can be so confusing and yet so understanding? That every day of our life, we wake up and manage to live for tomorrow andstill make goals and dream of what is yet to come. Most of our days we spend crying and complaining and we just want to give up and sometimes lose hope, faith, and don'tbelieve in GOD our creator, the one who can heal your heart; the one who shows you your path, the GOD who makes tomorrow for you, gives you joy and happiness, holds yourhand, picks you up when your soul is down, when you feel like the world is against you. Why can't we just let him take control of our life? Because after all, he's theone who created us, he's the one who knows who we are and where we are going. Life, sometimes, I wonder."

"I don't understand how you can smile all day long, but cry yourself to sleep at night. How pictures never change, but the people in them do. How you can love so innocently, but it can turn into anger so quickly. How your best friend can become your worst enemy or how strange it is when your worst enemy turns into your best friend. How forever turns into a few short months that you'd do almost anything to get back. How you can let go of something you once said you couldn't live without. How even though you know something is best for you, it hurts just the same. How the people who once wanted to spend every second with you, think a few minutes of their time is too much to spare. How the smell of a person stays with you even when they're gone. How people make promises and bare their souls to someone, despite knowing how common it is for promises to be broken. How people can erase you from their lives cause it's just easier then working things out."

Many people get caught up in worrying about the future, or putting things off because they can just do it tomorrow.
