Life lessons from everyday experiences
I'd choose the folks who are teachers - not necessarily by profession but by character trait. Teachers, the real ones, are willing to learn and adapt as much as they are willing to lead and teach. I learned somewhere once that the greatest leaders know how to step aside and follow. They know how to take instructions and follow accordingly. Leading and being a leader is much more than delegating and parading around with a title.
Life is cyclical and where there is life, death lingers. Like a withering tree in the desert or the end of a season, people's physical presence on earth ceases to exist because they've done their laps. They've weathered many storms, seen many a sunrise and sunsets. Then one day, their waking and going will just stop because their time has come.
If you're scared, go in same way. Just do it gingerly. Sometimes the "go hard and done" mentality will get you nowhere but hurt. Approaching uncertain situations with calculated steps (and in some cases, missteps) can prevent you from being pinched in the long run.
As I think about 12 while in childhood and 12 as an adult, my mind sits comfortably in the idea that we continue to work for positive life changes by the time the clock strikes the 12th midnight hour for every birthday.
From the friends you've had since you were a child to the friendships built in adulthood - the hard truth is that you may not always be friends. Some friendships fizzle, others have an abrupt end, while some last a lifetime. Wherever the pendulum swings, you have to be okay with it and move on.
The semicolon symbolises a continuation of someone's life. It is a representation of strength in the middle of a storm. The punctuation mark is used as an affirmation of solidarity against a plethora of mental health issues including suicide, eating disorders and addictive behaviours.
