(15, NC, USA) Anonymous - Raven

Everyday, you subconsciously learn something new. Everyday, you grow older. Everyday, we become like butterflies waiting to be hatched. From the day we are born, to when we become toddlers, to kids, to teens, and finally to adults. I sometimes feel sorrowful knowing I can’t go back to when I was a little child. The only thing needing to be worrying about was going to sleep, or learning how to count, or even sing your ABCs. I miss the soothing melodies of my mothers lullabies, how colorful the world used to look. But, that’s apart of growing up. And we can’t stop it. The only thing that prevents us is, death. The final stage of life. When we die, our soul goes somewhere. It goes to a place where we can be cherished. How do we cope with the fact that we will no longer be living? Think of yourself as a raven. They are known to be the messengers of both the living and the dead. Your soul reaching out to your loved ones, becoming collided within them. Remember that life is temporary, but remember that you should live your life to the fullest. Like a blooming flower.
