Life

Sometimes life just isnt grand. It is what it is. I am a FIRM believer that everything happens for a reason. Whether or not we know what that reason is, shit happens. It is what you do with what happens that determines the next piece of your life. Life's lesson are meant to make you aware of the people and things and situations that you need to avoid, be more cautious around and better equipped to handle. They are not meant to make you closed up, afraid to live, or prevent you from living a happy and fulfilling life. There are times when I like to be completely to myself but sometimes I can get a bit carried away. Everyone has been hurt by people who were supposed to care and love us but you can't let those past heartbreaks keep you from experiencing the joys of good relationships. It is okay to be cautious and somewhat guarded in the future when getting into new relationships ( this includes making new friends) but dont let it keep you from not extending yourself at all. As human beings, we are built to make connections with other human beings. Meeting new people, making new friends and experincing life with others- both the good and the bad things are what we need to do in order to grow and thrive. Our connections and relationships to others are just as important as the air we need to breathe and the food we need to eat. By all means, if things are just not right between you and another person, you do not have to hold on to those negative relationships. If you have given things a chance and really tried to make it better and it still doesnt work then LET IT GO. You dont have to keep trying. It is okay to say no; this isnt for me. Take that experience as a lesson learned and apply it to the next but dont make everyone else pay for something that had absolutely nothing to do with them. REAL FRIENDS PUSH YOU TO BE BETTER!!! Value your friendships/relationships that are good. Respect and honor that bond that you have and do not violate that with foolish things such as disloyalty, jealousy and dishonesty. Most importantly, know that in order to be a true and good friend to someone, YOU MUST BE A TRUE AND GOOD FRIEND TO YOURSELF FIRST!!!
As always, stay with love!
