real life doesn’t follow my plan.

sometimes, real life hurts.

and i want to pretend it isn’t real.

but it is real.

and even in the midst of the hurt

real life has a lot of beauty.

there are times i have to look harder,

but it’s there

waiting to be found.

i want to live a real life

and be willing to experience the pain

and willing to look for beauty.
