"Life sucks. A lot. But you just have to keep on going. No matter what happens. You can never ever give up. You just have to roll with the punches, go with the flow, and always try your best to keep on going <3"

It’s the domino effect
One piece falls into another
One event happens that leads to another
Making something else happen.
Some dominoes are bigger than others
Making larger things happen.
But no matter what size they are
The dominoes always fall.

It’s the cycle of life.
We grow
And change
And meet new people
And then we fall in love
And grow old
And then everything ends.

It’s the way things are.
The way they will always be.
Everyone changes
Dominoes fall
And our world grows better
And worse
And we all must eventually
Move on
Down another path or road
And we all must get used
To change.
