Things happen. Simple as that. Decisions and choices you wish you could take back, but can't. People you wish you could erase from your life story, but can't. Everything happens for a reason though. I was told recently not to blame myself. It wasn't my fault. I have felt stupid and foolish. I should have seen all the red flags, but I didn't. Everything happens for a reason. Perhaps every stupid and crappy decision and choice I have made has led me to where I am today. I have grown. Become more confident. I have learned to be more cautious but to also live without beating myself up for messing up. I have done a lot of growing up in the past year and a half. Every decision, thought, word, and person has made me who I am today. Some people may call me a dumb or foolish girl, but in all actuality, I am a young woman that has been through some serious ups and downs in my life, but has come out of them a stronger person. People don't know your story. So when words or phrases are thrown in your face in the attempt to degrade you, don't let it affect you. You know what you have been through and you know how it has changed you. Hopefully for the better. There will be people who know your story, don't judge you for it, and will love and cherish you unconditionally. So never let anything or anyone get you down. Be your own person. Live your life to the fullest with the best intentions possible. Love people. Never hate yourself because of something that happened in the past. Move forward because everything happens for a reason. Live a beautiful life and know that you have a say on how your story ends.
I could go on and on forever and talk about how things will get better. How your life won't stay miserable forever. Well, it might stay that way. The way we think about things and how we view the world around us are factors in whether our lives will get better or if they will stay the same. If you truly want to move forward and not stay in the pit you are in, changes will have to be made. Trust me, those changes won't be easy, but if it means your ultimate happiness...don't you think you should at least try? Now if you are content with how things are going or if you are too negative and feel like you can't change things.... Well be my guest and stay where you're at in life. As for me, I desire with a passion to make things better. To live my life to the fullest. To walk around with a smile and laugh that might just cheer someone up. To be spontaneous. To meet new friends and to fall madly and deeply in love. To encourage people. To leave a lasting impression on the world and the generations following behind me. We are all capable of living amazing and wonderful lives, but you must have a passion and dream to live a life like that. It isn't going to just fall in your lap. Strive, work, and change for a life that is fulfilling an rewarding. When you make changes to better your life, that is when it will get better! |
