Have you heard the saying ‘March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb’? well perhaps this saying can be applied to our lives’, how? You ask. Well some months I feel like they start off so hard, but at the end I can see the light, until the next month comes and new problems arise. As we get older it seems like the waves of misfortunate seem to be bigger and stay longer. But as it is with the weather, it goes out like a lamb. I can apply this same theory to my school year because it defiantly started out as a lion, it seemed like I was in that lion phase for what seemed like months on end, but I had to remember that the lion and the lamb were a match. I had to just be patient and wait for the lamb to enter my life. This school year started off with three deaths, throat surgery, and a tough class, that lion was roaring loud. But you see I survived that semester and even landed myself an internship for the spring semester, I was able to see the white as snow coat of the lamb. Unfortunately life will always be an endless cycle of coming in like a lion and going out like a lamb. But that does not mean that you give up during those periods of loud roars and sharp claw marks, no you should stay hopeful. Life will not be a lion forever, eventually the lamb will peak its head out and you will be greeted by the lamb’s soft white coat. All though I do like the theory of ‘March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb’, life sometimes is a mix of the lion and lamb constantly battling. One day everything goes wrong and the lion roars until your head is pounding and you are sitting on the ground in tears, but then the next day you can’t stop yourself from smiling. It’s almost like overnight your world had flip flopped, you had gone from being crushed by the weight of the world to being on cloud nine. Those are my favorite moments, when the despair and frustration that you were experiencing suddenly without explanation become happiness and peace. The most important piece of advice that I can give to you, is be patient when life is a lion, wait it out because I promise you the lamb will be back again to cheer you up and bring you good fortune. Here’s to your month ending like a lamb; full of success, happiness, love and good fortune.
