We've been put on this Earth to experience much. To experience the greatest joys and to know how it feels to have our souls ripped out of us. We know about ghosts because they are real in our heads. Albeit different ones. The older we get the more we get to stow away and the more regrets get accumulated but we cope. We walk with them whispering in our heads but we cope, like how everyone copes with theirs. You choose... you choose how you cope and there are many ways to deal with ghosts. It isn't just straight up option A or option B. It isn't straight up stop living with the ghosts. Neither is it straight up embracing the existence of ghosts. There are much more than straight-ups and there's beauty in there. We've been put on Earth to experience much but this experience is no said path. It is always and will always be us floundering about the in betweens, weaving through messy options, living with the choices made. But we cope because we yearn for the better times ahead to reflect the better times in our past. We tell ourselves there are brighter lights ahead without paying attention to the fact that each step towards the brighter lights may result in catching more ghosts.

Then it depends on you. How you cope. The entry of the first bad thing in your life changes the game. 'Coping' starts to become synonymous to 'living'. Though the definition of cope suggests some degree of success with the matter.

It really isn't all bad. It's about being stronger about the choices we have made, the choices we will make and whatever that happens to us.
