Grief may be a thing we all have in common,
but it looks different on everyone.
It isn't just death we have to grieve.
It's life.
It's loss.
It's change.
And when we wonder why it has to suck so much sometimes,
has to hurt so bad.
The thing we got to try to remember is that it can turn on a dime.
That's how you stay alive.
When it hurts so much you can't breathe, that's how you survive.
By remembering that one day, somehow, impossibly,
you won't feel this way.
It won't hurt this much.
Grief comes in its own time for everyone, in its own way.
So the best we can do, the best anyone can do, is try for honesty.
The really crappy thing, the very worst part of grief is that you can't control it.
The best we can do is try to let ourselves feel it when it comes.
And let it go when we can.
The very worst part is that the minute you think you're past it,
it starts all over again.
And always, every time, it takes your breath away.
There are five stages of grief.
They look different on all of us, but there are always five.
Denial.
Anger.
Bargaining.
Depression.
Acceptance.

I don't think new year resolutions actually work (my friend just told me she accomplished 2 out of her 17 resolutions for 2009), but I still kinda feel like setting a goal of sorts so here goes...
- Spend more time with the people that matter
- Be a nicer person (exception given to no.3)
- If someone pisses me off (this is really written for 1 person in particular), I am not going to be all nice about it
- Join a vertical marathon
- Plan a kick ass YEP
- Get all As (haha)
- Give 100% in all projects (which helps no. 6)
- Get kayaking 1 star
I thought the list will be longer but that's all for now.
I think the year's going to be great. (:
