So 2011 didn't exactly turn out the way i wanted it to.
Loved ones were lost, both physically and in the meanings
of friendships. enemies were made. Cancer became all too
real, and death was something you began to regularly
expect.. it was just a matter of who it would be. sicknesses
and unhappiness always lurked just waiting, waiting for
things to seem to finally go right.. making sure that theynever
did. it's to the point where
you aren't depressed... just scared. Scared that everything
you love is just going to continue to leave. Scared that just
when you're happy, everything will be ripped out from
under you, and you're going to be so damaged beyond
repair. This year didn't meet my expectations by any
means; but i did take one thing from it. Life is by all means
one of God's most precious gifts. "Could this get any
worse?" Believe me, it can. Your life is so valuable, you have
touched so many peoples' lives. Each and every person
leaves a mark on someone's life that they even met just briefly.
Never take anything for granted. Something so simp[le can be
gone the next day. I never thought for one minute that so
many bad things could happen to one lone person, but they
can. There are so many things so precious to us that can be lost
in a moment. charish them. enjoy them while they are here.
some day you will look back on these moments and wish that
you could do something different, change something you
said or act a little kinder. Life is full of mistakes and no one is
perfect, but charish the time that you have and make every
moment count. Hug your family, regardless of
how bad things are, they love you. Hug your pets. Tell your
friends that they are important. If you love him, tell him. Never
go into the next day with regrets, you may never have the
chance to fix them. Look at what you have and be thankful.
Everything you have in front of you is such a blessing, And not
everything in life is
preventable... not everything is in our control. but as long as we
try our best, do our best, be ourselves and live our dreams and
our lives the way we want to... that's what counts. Love who
you are and love who you have. Life is precious, and what
doesn't kill you will truely only make you stronger.
