Losing It.
How many times have we all lost something?
Maybe it was your keys, your mitten, your earring, your favourtie cd. Maybe you lost track of time, or lost your little sister in a crowd. Maybe you yourself got lost and had to find your way back to where you belong.
We all loose things, but have we ever lost it? Has it ever seemed like everything right then at that time was going terribly wrong? Have we ever sat down, maybe tried to count our blessings, and were too torn up inside to think of any?
I know people who have lost love ones. Who have seen their lives taken. Who have lost so much, yet they still get up every day and move on with thier lives.
You can loose touch with someone. You could have been at one time best friends, and now you see each other every day, but you've lost them. You can loose someone you loved. Made a wrong desicion and screwed up what could have been the best thing in your life. You might see them all the time, but not be able to find the words to say how you feel.
We may have temporarily lost these people. But we can get them back. That's the thing. If we're really determined, we are the ones who determine our future. We make our own choices. I'm sure if we all put out the first hand of forgiveness, things would be a lot better. The things and people we've lost, we can get them back.
Some people can't. Some people have lost things for good. They've lost everything that we take advantage of every day.
I've lost many things. I know a lot of people that have. I know a lot of people I've lost because of choices I've made.
Maybe if we could, we'd all take back what we've done in the past. Maybe we'd try and re-do everything over and over until we think we've achieved a perfect life. But perfection is a word that can't truely describe anything. Imperfections ruin things everyday, but it is our imperfections that people tend to love us for.
I know every single one of you reading this can think of at least five things right now that you've lost. That you might do anything to get back. Someone special that you'd do anything for, they just don't know it yet. Maybe you lost a chance with someone great because you didn't tell them how you felt. Maybe just thinking about loosing someone you love is enough to make you unable to sleep at night.
Maybe I'm losing it. Maybe the only true thing right now i think i've lost is sanity itself.
What have you lost?

hey kat, i totally agree with you on this one, i was best friends with someone for over nine years, we went to 2 different middle schools and still managed to have time for each other! it was always nice having a really close friend that you didnt have to put up with EVERY single day, but in the end could trust alot more then all your other friends...we had an awesome relationship that i value and always will....that was until high school started...it sorta just changed everything and we never talk anymore...i feel really bad at times whe i think about her and how close we used to be...but i gusse growing up just changes everyone and you cant stay bet friends with someone forever(unfortunately)just remember though...even though you lost a best friend...you will always have the bitter sweet memories and know that person was someone very special to you, whow you could trust with your life...
well great articles and writing kat, you are definetly talented!
