Things that I have learned the last nine months…
People change, for better or for worse. Even the person who you know inside and out can take off a mask and reveal they are not an ounce of who you thought they were.
The most rewarding jobs typically don’t pay well, in fact, most of the time you have to pay for them. The pay for the job I am talking about cost me monetarily, emotionally, and physically…but the end reward is far greater than any cost encored in the beginning.
Walls are not to keep people out but to see who cares enough to break them down.
Friends and family are my life blood. You never know how much you are loved until you need to hear it.
The future is an adventure. Sometime adventures are fun, sometimes scary, but it’s an adventure none the less. Hills and Valleys, sunshine and rain.
I can laugh and mean it.
Even the biggest cloud has a silver lining.
Good things fall apart so better things can come together.
Tomorrow is uncertain therefore I must love the people I love, thank the people that need thanked and dance, laugh, smile and sing.
Life is too short to spend it holding on to things that aren’t worth holding onto. Including grudges, memories, upsets, material processions and hurts.
I am fearless.
diggin' it.
Often I have said the following, “life is hard, wear a helmet.” Today I disagree with that statement completely. Life is only hard when you are trying. A true life, one that is tailored to fit just you is effortless. Sure, there are trials, trivial matters, decisions, and setbacks…but it’s different. These tough times aren’t so tough when youre life is authentic.
Things happen for a reason, I get that. I didn’t get that a year ago, but now, not only do I get it…I am living proof of it. I preach this cliché statement like it’s my job! I was lucky enough to die and come back to life. Not in the literal sense but close enough.
My life before was hard. It sucked. I was broke yet had much more money than I do now. Lonely, yet I was married. Homeless, yet I had a cozy little house. I was wanting, even though I had an abundance of things. I was terribly sad, yet I had all the apparent ingredients for happiness.
Today I take inventory of my life. I don’t have lots of money as I fight my way through school but it’s ok, I know it’s temporary. I certainly am not lonely. I am envious of my own social calendar. ;-)My friends are amazing supportive beings of whom I am thankful for in so many ways. I am single (can I get an Amen!). My husband turned out to be a grade-A douche bag. However, this douche bag taught me what not to do the next time around and for that...I am forever greatful. My house? I don't have one anymore. It was just that…a “house”. It wasn’t a home, and I am thankful to have been able to walk away from it. I no longer want for anything and I am far from sad. This is one of the most trying times I have ever been through, yet, through it all I am so excited.
I walked through the fire to figure out what truly matters. And, it turns out, contrary to popular belief; life isn’t that hard after all. I don’t have to try anymore. And now, life is so good.
