Preperation

You see signs everywhere.
Traffic signs, shirt logos, or even cute little sayings online.
But have you ever seen a sign about reality?
One that says, "Sometimes, everything's not going to be okay."
Or one that's like a slap in the face?

No

Everyone wants you to see the mask that covers the world.
Instead of the face it has.
Honestly, we need that truth in our lives at some point.
So we can be prepared for the ugly road that lies ahead.

I could not agree more - very well said. I personally tell my kids the way it is, but also tell them they can do anything - they just have to DO it. Yup, life is hard - plain and simple. Kristin
