- Trust me, I know exactly how it feels to cry in the shower so nobody else will hear, to wait until everyone is asleep to fall apart, to fear every tomorrow, to be scared of every step, to fake a smile or to say “I’m okay” when nothing is okay. Trust me, I know. I also know it gets better. I know how it feels to love, to be truly happy, to really be OKAY, to be excited for tomorrow, and to plan a future because I no longer have to fear that I won’t have one. I know how it feels. I know how to make it through. Some days are about dreams, hopes and visions of the future. But there are some days where life is just about putting one foot in front of the other, and that’s okay.

Courage
Courage is not having the strength to go on, it’s going on when you don’t have the strength.

Happy Halloween
I am strong
I am stronger because I had to be, I am smarter because of my mistakes, I am happier because I have overcome the sadness I’ve known, and I am wiser because I have learned from my life.
Why?
Today I saw something terrifying. I watched the car in front of me become part of a head in collision. Right in front of my eyes. One car was smashed to bits while the other spun out of control rapidly on the highway, the woman in the spinning car had gone unconsious and could not remove her foot from that gas. She came flying toward our car, as soon as I started to take off away from my car, she switched paths and ended in the ditch. The story ends well, we called 911 and everyone was okay, the window was broken to get the woman out of her car and the man walked away with no injuries…
But from this story I think to myself, “why did this happen?”, I think all the time “why did I get sick?”… “Why is Africa starving?” “Why do good people go through so much pain”….
There is no answer to this. I always used to believe that I needed carry the burden of he world on my shoulders. I told myself that I was to blame for everything, why is Africa starving, heather did it…
But I know that’s not true now. When I saw those cars collide in thought, “why does the world work like this?” The answer is “I don’t know” nobody does. But you can’t blame yourself for disease or for Africa, you did nothing wrong. Shit happens, and that’s the thing about life… Until we decide to be happy and not to blame ourselves, we will be angry. Shit will keep happening, but we will know that is just how he world works, but you get up, get dressed and move on. This doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t care about what happens or why, heck I care about people I don’t even know, but I don’t need to blame myself for everything that goes wrong. I will make things go right, and this is what I will give myself the credit for. I will remember when I changed the world, for the better and so will you.
Keep on keeping on
Sometimes, just when you think you have been through it all… Your strength is tested once again. The key is to remember that the strong people are the ones going through the most, but we are also the people that come out okay! The main thing to think about, and what I have been reminding myself over the last few days is that I can chose to look at my life in 2 ways… 1, I got the shitty end of the stick and I’m going to sit in my room and cry. Or 2, I’m going through a hard time right now which may be difficult at the moment but I will come out even stronger. Because I always do.
You don’t get to decide what happens to you, but you do get to decide how to deal with it.
