Life is funny. Sometimes it is simple, sometimes it is
tough. But never is it boring. This is especially true lately, where I have
been incessantly reminded that life is without any certainty other than change.
In the past two years it feels as though I have gone through more than I have
in the preceding twenty-one. Many changes and events that I endured were
anything but easy, though ultimately they have brought me here. And I couldn’t
be happier.
On the other side of
the negativity and self-doubt that I had grown so accustomed to in more recent
years, I found that there truly is freedom. There is freedom in releasing
yourself from those who do not inspire you. There is freedom in forgiving those
who have wronged you. And there is freedom in embracing yourself – flaws and
all. I have learned the value and meaning of perspective. You can let an
experience break you or build you, define you or develop you. The key, as I
have learned, is to keep moving forward. If you live in the past you will go
nowhere.
Now? Life is still life – changing on the daily. I still
experience days that test my patience and challenge my outlook. But at the end
of the day, I know I am okay. I am young, alive, and healthy. That in its own
is the greatest blessing I could ever ask for. Not every day can be glamorous;
therefore it is important to find the beauty in the ordinary, because there is
always a reason to smile.
Be nothing but happy.
