In the Blink of An Eye

life can change in the blink of an eye
whether it be something big, like a horrible car crash, or small, like a person creeping into your life
either way, everything changes from that point forward
and what ultimately comes from it is all in how you deal with it
so for me, i was depressed because our life changed and i wasn't able to piece us back together
but then there was the realization that what's meant to be isn't always what it seems
so i forgot about us and focused on me
on chasing my dreams
on being the best mom my son could ever have
on keeping only good, true people in my life
and now i couldn't be happier
all because life changed in the blink of an eye
