It's Hard But You Have To Move On: Picking Up The Pieces By The Average White Band

Right now I'm still a little shell-shock from what happened this whole week.  Nobody wanted it to happened but sadly it did.  Still, we can stand still forever.  It's best that we start packing up and make the necessary tasks to start a new.  Having that thought in mind is the reason why I chose the song "Picking Up The Pieces" by The Average White Band".

What is like getting hit flush in the jaw and and your whole body goes numb as the blow overrides your entire being.  Yet even as the world starts to turn and and pain sets in, part of your mind is still conscious.  Even as you get up and the fight's over, you have to find the strength to accept what's happened, learn from it and move on.  Right now that's what I and others who got hit by this bad news are trying to do.  It's not easy considering the gravity of the situation that we are in.  Still, you better move or spend another cycle of misery.

What I said in the last sentence of the paragraph reflects the bad times that I went through in the past.  Going through it twice was really painful that I still can't forget what I went through and how I felt back then.  That's why I need to start planning to avoid going through that again.  This second half of the year is going to be very tough.  I just hope we all pull through before it ends.

Starting Over: Picking Up The Pieces By Poco

It's been 13 years and I'm still cleaning up my mess.  It hasn't been easy but I still try because I've seen other people done it and if they can do it, so can I.  Even though there are times when something gets thrown in my way sets my spirits low, I do my best to get back up and stay the course.  I know I'm not alone and I can sympathize with other people who lost it all and are trying to regain what was lost.  A good song that picks my spirits up is "Picking Up The Pieces" by Poco.

Nobody wants to see what they have gained fall apart but there are times when it happens and lately I've been seeing it a lot.  Still, a true test of a person is not by what he has gained but how he gets up after getting knocked down.  That's why I wanna change things around because I wanna be that kind of person and also because there are people that I look after.  It doesn't come overnight but if you keep at it, it'll all come back one piece at a time.  Before you know it, things are back to the way they were.

It's easy starting over but it isn't impossible.  That's the reason why I keep going on and despite how long it has been, I know this will work out in the end.  For all those guys who are trying to do the same, all I can say is don't give up.  Just remember there are people there for you and they believe in you.  So keep on trying and you will get it back and I'll keep trying too cause that's what I also want to do.
