Choice

I'm trying to take as much positivity out of the world as possible. To learn from the negative and to use it to help me grow. Life tends to throw strange and unexpected curve balls at us all the time. I have the problem that I always look at these as horrible things, unfair things. I find myself asking constantly "Why me? Why do I have to keep putting up with this?" But what I'm coming to realize is that I don't have to put up with it. What I CAN do is take as much out of each situation as I can and then move on. Everything that happens in life is a growing opportunity. I can CHOOSE to be upset about life's little twists and turns or I can CHOOSE to look at it from a different perspective, a perspective that everything that happens just leads us to our next step in life, to our next adventure. Everything that has happened with me was meant to happen. Where I am now is where I'm meant to be.
Life is too short to not open your eyes and see the beauty in the world.
This is no way means that I will not have my bad days, the days when I feel like life isn't worth it, that these struggles are too much, but I think that from now on I will remember that there ARE good days, there IS always something to smile about. That I have so much in life, especailly the people who love me.
I feel very blessed these days when I think of the people who have been there for me this past year. They have seen me through the worst year of my life. A year full of me wanting to give up, to say enough is enough. But each time that has happened they have been there to remind me of the good things. They have been there to talk, to listen, to hold me when I cry, or to just be with me when I couldn't bare being alone. These people mean the world to me. These people I'd do anything for. They have seen me in my darkest moments and have not given up on me. For that I can't thank them enough. They will forever be in my heart.

I love you guys so much.
