Recently, I have been one happy girl. Just graduated high school, getting ready to start planning out my future, it's summertime, and not only am I surrounded by so many people who are blessings to me, but they have given me so many memories that I will cherish forever. My only hope is that I can be that much of a blessing to them in return. To my friends, to my family, and to my wonderful boyfriend who I could go on and on about but might end up boring you with all the positive things I would list about him.
You can say I am one lucky girl to be in such a happy spot in my life with everything, which has given me almost an appreciation for when things weren't to good in the past. Like when I was going through all my physical pain and not believing things would ever get any better, and when I had more of a negative outlook each and every day due to the circumstances I was in. I lacked confidence, and most importantly, pure happiness. And now I can sit here with a real smile on my face and not one where I am hiding pain or anything of that matter. Yes, I may have some days that aren't the best, but with a better perspective and attitude, I am able to deal with these days in a much better way than ever before.
I just wanted to take time to acknowledge this "plot twist" in my life...a very good one! Two years ago, I would have never imagined myself in the spot I am now. I think it is truly amazing how much can change in just a couple years..for the better! To look back and accept the struggles I had, knowing they brought me to where I am now, that is something truly special. I do believe that until you can look back at your past and openly talk about it without getting upset, you can move forward from it. I sure have! And as a result, I have become a better person with a far better attitude about everything.
So, as readers, here is my advice to you, first hand...
If you are going through tough times now, whatever category that may fall in with you, know that there is a reason for all of it and that is to make you stronger and that when you become stronger, you will be so much happier. Things will fall into place, and it's all just part of your story.
Enjoy the "plot twists" in your life. No matter if they are good or bad, they will lead you to where you need to be and the wonderful person you will become.
