Life...everyone on of lives one. Yet non are the same, our lives intertwine, moving and crossing those of toehrs, and as quicjkly as two lines cross, they can soon part. This seperation can be painful, perhaps you're not even aware there was a crossing at all. People can experience the same thing, and despite this, experience it in two totally different ways, feel different things, but this is what makes each life so special..the uniqueness, that no matter what happens, there are certain things, that make you..you..and it's those things that define each of us, those unchanging characteristics that being us peace, stability, and give our life direction. And well, I want to discuss just a small part of life, from my own experience, and I hope that perhaps, you can gain at least something from it.

I am, most probably, the luckiest guy in the world. During my near 21 yeasr inhabiting this planet I have never experienced any serious emdical issues, i have a loving family, I have a girlfriend who I love, and never judges me, and loves me no matter how many mistakes I make, and friends that I can rely on. I'm able bodied, a good athlete no less, good mind, and I've been bought up to know right from wrong. Believe me, I'm a lucky guy. And I guess, until recently, hese last few days in fact, I never really realised quite how lucky.

Experiencing sadness in another person.. particulary one who means that world to you.. seeing them lost, and lonely, helpless even is painful..but seeing them losing that youthful idealism that I so profoundly admire in a person is perhaps the hardest thing to watch. Even if it goes for a moment, seeing that something which for you characterises a person and all they are depart, or even change is a tough experience..seeing someone realise that the world, isn't quite how they saw it before, the movement from childhood to adulthood is always tough, but seeing that moment of change, experiencing it wiht that person, shocked, and suprised me no end. And to see it come about through no fault of their own, and through horrible circumstances that they're blameless for, yet caught in the middle of..changed my outlook. Perhaps for you it will be in a different context, perhaps a friend turning into someone you never thought they'd become, seeing a love one change, through illness, or psychologically..it can take all manner of forms, but at some point in our lives we have experienced a break-down, or ideals, of body, of perhaps life how someone knew it.

We all change, it can be good, bad, or neither, but it's during these difficult times of change, that those lifes who are permanently intertwined take precedance, and become more important than they ever were. During those difficult times, where we realise perhaps that things are quite what we thought and perhaps bnever will be, be that about a person, people the world, a loved one, perhaps most difficult, ourselves that we need mroe than ever in our lives someone to lean upon. To be our coernerstone, our shoulder to cry on, and no matter how hard things are, those people, will always stand by you, and love you the same, from one day to the next, through tears, heartache and happiness, the bond that you have, will never break, and come rain or shine, those who have been there forever, will still be there tomorrow. And I believe that it's this, that helps people get through anything that life may throw at them.

For me, I'm one of the lucky ones. I have friends, family, a girlfriend, and God. And at diffrent times, tehy all help me in different ways, but none will ever leave me, no matter how many mistakes I make, no matter how stupid I become, or how I change..I guess what I'm trying to say is..that a true measure of a person is how far they are willing to be that person who sticks by someone no matter what changes happen, and that when someone needs you, be it for a small or big favour, be it an ear to listen, a shoudler to cry on or just someone to cheer them up when things feel like that couldn't be worse..be "that" person..because one day..the person who needs that coernerstone..will be you..

estoy aqui..para siempre..
