you go through little speedbumps, nails or potholes in the road of life…and at times it stinks… a good thing to remember is that somehow in some small way you learn and grow from everything you go through.

heartbreak… you learn to love and let go and learn from that person at that time in your life..

car issues… you learn to budget and save and that you may be broke when you fix your vehicle..but at the same time you have a car which some people aren’t blessed with these days.

friend problems… you learn who is a true friend and who is going to stick around and never just toss you away when they disagree with you…they will be there for you even if it’s just to listen.

family issues.. you learn that no matter what your family will be there for you no matter what…even when you least expect it they will..family is forever

loss of someone you love… you learn and hope that you let them know everything and that you let them know how much you loved them… or you feel like you should have said more… but one thing is for sure that person will stay with you forever and they are your guardian angel.

college/uncertain future… you learn what you really want to do and be…and that not everyone needs to go to college to be happy and you need to follow your bliss and dreams and one day you will know exactly what you need to be doing to be happy and you are never a failure.

i guess what i’m getting at right now is sometimes life is rough…and sometimes it knocks you down on your butt and you aren’t sure which way to turn and it can be complicated ….but you live for the moments that make you smile and realize how truly lucky you are to be alive and able to live and breathe and be happy in life. In this lifetime you will cry, laugh, love, lose, gain, scream and everything else..it’s best to buckle in and prepare for the ride and embrace every beautiful moment you are able to experience.
