Life Happens
_________________________________________
The past few years have been rough for me. Ever since I switched schools in 7th grade, a lot more has changed. There has been the obvious that I grew as a person. But its the journey that brought me here.
I have had a lot of bumps a long the road. A lot of decisions that I wish I could take back. Through this my mom has always told me “everything in life happens for a reason.” I will use this blog to document my journey as I go on and help me find myself and the reasons why things ended up the way they did. Through this journey I will post inspiring pictures and quotations to help others through their own journey.
Please join me on my journey through life and on my quest to help you through yours.

My substitution for love.
I feel in our world today. The word love is thrown around too easily. Love is an intimate feeling and is reserved for the special person. By denying you are not in love with the person you are in a relationship means is not an insult to them. You still have feelings for them. Just… love is a feeling that is for that person whom you want to be with forever.
How can I love someone else if I can’t love myself?
Embrace it and run.
Everyone has a light often dimmed by the hatred in the world. You are beautiful. Don’t forget.
I am not one to take compliments to heart for being heartbroken is more painful than shutting it all out when its going good. Sometimes it is comforting to open up when I am the weakest and embrace their love.
Life happens. It could be worse. Love what you have and run with it.
I used to be so confident. I was sure of myself. I was skinny. I had good grades. I was always happy. I had many close friends. I loved life. I was close to my family. I was trusting.
Now its all gone. I have lost my confidence. I question every move I make. I am always self conscious. I have gained weight. I have bad grades. I am sad often. I have few friends - only three who I trust at all. I have distanced myself from my family. I tell them far less than I used to. I have lost my trust in people.
Yes, my communication skills have improved. Yes, I have become nicer and more sympathetic towards others. Yes, I have stronger values and stick firmly to my morals. But are these qualities worth compromising everything else?
