♥dear juana;
people often say that the sunset is more beautiful than the sunrise but i'd have to strongly disagree. i dread the sunset because its just the beginning of a new night-- a night in which i cannot sleep and a night in which all i do is think. if their were stars in my sky and a place to lay outside, i'd spend my night gazing at the stars and admiring something beautiful but instead all i can do is lay uncomfortably in my bed thinking about memories that should be long gone and pain that wont ever leave and people that i miss too damn much. which do you prefer, darling- the beauty of a sunrise and the hope of a new day or the emptiness of a sunset and the pain of lost time?
you see, people tell me life is beautiful and it's what you make of it and with that i agree. but what if what you're given to use to make something of your life is nothing good and the only thing you can make is just barely letting you survive? and anything can be beautiful, it just depends on the way you look at it. for instance, a broken heart can be beautiful if you choose to look at it as lessons learned or it can be ugly if you choose to look at it as empty and painful.
i feel like my outlooks on life are completely different then everyone else's but, sometimes, i hope they aren't. i think that in life, everything ends and nothing lasts forever. if you're happy, its going to worse but if you're sad, it's going to get better. nothing, nothing lasts forever. or atleast, thats what i believe. i also strongly believe that broken thing are beautiful and not everything is meant to be fixed. and that love is love no matter the race or gender or nationality. and that sometimes, you just have give up instead of being strong.
what do you think the most important thing in life is? i think it's love.
sincerely,
crystal.
ps- what do you like more; the rain or sunshine? i think i like the rain more because its peaceful and it seems like it just washes everything away. but i love the sunshine too. ♥

crystal,
dont feel bad. you are not the only one who feels this way about sunries and sunsets. and i really dont know how it is that i feel about either one i dont know anymore i dont think i have ever known and i dont think i want to i am just one of those people that doesnt want to know anything and that might be bad. but i do think that the most important thing in life is love. there is no question about that in my mind but i dont think other people understand that. i hope that whatever happens you and i both find some peace in something and that you become strong again. and i do love the rain more.

You are right the most important thing in life is love.
And while some aspects of life are the farthest thing from beautiful that fact that it simply exists, is well beautiful. Maybe that is odd. Ha.
I love you
Good luck in the contest
