Distractions

Everyone has there way to forget things, weather it's reading, writing, video games, music, T.V, drugs, alcohol, or even work. Anything that can be a distraction from the life that we live and the problems we face. The truth is though there is only so many things you can use to distract yourself. It will only work for so long. Now some people may use that distraction to avoid something till it's gone, but some things are unavoidable. Some may get over it after they finish there 'distraction' (whatever one it may be), but again some things you can't just get over. Somethings you have to face.

Maybe it will be easier after you face them. Face the change that is about to or is already happening. Once you face a change, accept, only then can you decide what to do next. Now I'm not about to sit here and tell you I'm an expert on the subject. In fact I hate change. Change is stupid and sucks, but it's unavoidable. Somethings have to change. I mean look at the human race. We have evolved. Evolution is change. A good change. Growing up is kind of a mix of a bad and good change.

When you're younger, all you want is to grow up and then once you reach high school you realize just how fast life moves. Then you will be on your own. Sometimes not even by your family. Now I'm someone who grew up too fast. Not because I necessarily wanted too, but just cause events in my life made me. Maybe that's part of the reason why I like so many little kid things like Disney movies. I knew I grew up fast and now I'm just enjoying what I have left of my childhood.

Now I am considered a child still, but if you were to actual bring this fact up to me I would proudly deny it. No one wants to be called a child, but some wish they were back to their childhood. They don't necessarily mean that being a child is a bad thing, but they just sometimes wish they could go back. Back to a time without as much stress. Back when liking a boy and being nervous to talk to him or the fact that you have a huge test coming up were your biggest problems. Back when you didn't worry about money, and work. When it was all about friends and family.

What brought on this whole post is the fact that three of my family members are moving away fairly soon. I have been pretty sad about it. I have a countdown on my phone telling me just how long I have left till my brother goes off to college and when my sister and her fiance. I am very close to my family and it's hard to know that everything is going to change in a matter of two months. I've been trying to distract myself with T.V, reading, and writing, but I realize it doesn't matter how much I distract myself. It's going to happen sooner or later. So instead I have decide to use my countdown to spend as much time that I have left with them before they move.

I know change is hard and it sucks, but it's just part of life. I'm sure we will all get used to it eventually, at least that's what I keep telling myself.
