Things happen. We don't know what tomorrow holds. Someone you know could be killed. Or maybe the girl who broke hearts learns she needs an organ transplant. Perhaps you realize you have feelings for a guy that will never see you as anything other than the one conquest he can't get. Or maybe you lose your home.... What I'm saying is yes horrible things happen all the time. Shit happens! But when I think about a child taking its first steps, or the look on a family's face when their soldier comes home alive, or even that flicker of light in the eyes of the cute guy from Starbucks.... I know that good things happen too. My life and the lives of those around me can change in a split second. I've learned that in so many different ways lately. So I know I need to change. I need to be more confident in my happiness. I need to finally understand just how beautiful of a person I am inside and out. I recommend following dreams because the dreamers are the ones that actually live instead of just drifting through existence. I met a woman that told me about a friend she has had since she was five. Their friendship reminded me of the one I have with my best friend. Her friend's daughter died. I couldn't imagine the kind of pain they both deal with on a daily basis. Her daughter's name was Tatelyn and she was only 12. From the moment she could speak she told her friends and family that one day she would be an angel. She had a way about her that said she had been here before. One day she told her parents that if anything ever happened to her she wanted to be an organ donor. Two weeks later she passed away from a brain aneurysm. She saved 8 lives. Just hearing her story restored my faith in humanity. It seems like lately all I've focused on is the negative and I'm tired of it. I haven't set any New Years resolutions because I know I never get around to them but honestly this year something has to change and that something is me. I need to go back to seeing the beauty in everything around me. I have Tatelyn to thank for that.
