Tickle Me Pink - Madeline
M is for….Madeline, you will be remembered.
Karen Marie Moning
Sometimes things just happen. They don’t work out the way you expect. People aren’t always what they seem. They don’t always keep their word. Sometimes you don’t get closure. You just get the rug pulled out from underneath your feet.
You can go over things in your mind, trying to figure out where you went wrong. Was it something you said? Was it something you did? In the end, none of that matters. You can’t change the outcome.
Truth is, sometimes things just happen. You may not understand it, want it or believe it, but that doesn’t stop the motion. You can’t go back and try again. It is what it is.
But, you are exactly where you should be. It may hurt now, but it won’t hurt forever. Trust that each person that comes into your life, however briefly, carries a piece of a puzzle, that helps shape your life.
When you look back at the big picture, you will see each face and the piece they carried. And you will know that everything happened for a reason. It helped you get where you needed to be.
“You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude toward what happens to you, and in that, you will be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you.”
I like how…we don’t talk anymore unless I text you first. Which means, we haven’t talked all weekend. I love you but right now…fuck you.
One of these days, I will get to fall asleep with you and wake up with you every day. One of these days, I won’t have to worry about you being taken away from me at any moment. One of these days, I won’t have to rely on text messages, phone calls, emails, or skype sessions. One of these days, you will belong to only me, not the Marine Corps. I can’t wait for that day.
