As kids we are told "forever" over and over again in fairy tales and other such stories that are bigger than our young little minds. In those stories rainbows and love and happiness live on forever, hardly ever changing or growing or disappearing after the words "Happily ever after" are muttered and the story book is closed.
But as we grow up we learn the truth of forever. It is a reality, just one not as easily reached as we once thought. Rainbows fade, even with the sun and not solely darkness, love often lies to us and flees with time, and even happiness cannot spread itself evenly over the span of anyone's life. The truth of forever is that it is never going to lighten up or bend itself for something that wasn't meant to last.
So then how do you know when you have something in your life that has the strength to last forever? How do you measure that? How do you believe in the forever kind of things as you grow up and experience things, and the world shows you how foolish your childhood stories really were? It's all about feelings i guess.
It's a very youthful thing, giving over to your feelings.
A part of you has to stay young in order to surrender to them.
And it's all about passion. Passion is one of the stronges
t feelings we have.
