Starting Over

1/22/16

This week was absolutely awful. Last week, I ended something that I took complete advantage of. I only focused on the negatives and not the positives. I tried to fix it because I completely regretted it, but it was no use. I have to move on with my life and face the facts that this is all for the best. Sometimes I wonder why we all take things for granted. I've come to a conclusion that we sometimes listen to other people's opinions on our life choices more than we listen to our own. We think that everyone is right, but then it hits us, it's not their life it's ours. Things in life and in relationships aren't always going to be the best, but it's not always going to be this bad. Good things happen to good people, but just don't be so negative that you turn into a bad person. This week wasn't only bad for me, it was also bad for my friends. They're dealing with some of the same stuff I am dealing with. Today I gave one of my most amazing and truest best friends the best advice that I've ever given. I told her this, "the other day when I was upset and called my dad crying he told me a story. There is a man that works with him who is completely blind. This poor man will never see a thing, but he always has a smile on his face. My dad went back to his office to get something and saw the man. He walked over and said hello. The man said hello back and asked if his ride was here to pick him up. My dad said no. The man and my dad got to talking and the man said some words that have changed me. The man said that life is too short to look at the negative things, life isn't always going to be the best but it isn't always going to be this hard." After I told my friend this story it changed her just as much as it changed me. She now realizes to look at the positives and not the negatives because she is tired of being negative all the time. She now has me thinking the same thing. So, my life lesson for this entry is the same as my bio, life is too short to look at all the negatives. You only get one chance at life and if you blow it then it's over and your chance is gone.

I hope you liked this entry. Comment and follow me if you want more entries. I hope you all are well and happy. I'm in the middle of a blizzard, so I hope whoever else is dealing with this is also well. I adore you all my loves.
