this is life
sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or to help you figure out who you are or who you want to become. you never know who these people might be, it could be your roomate, neighbor, co worker, long lost friend, lover or even a complete stranger. but when you lock eyes with them, you know at that very moment that they will affect yoour life in some profound way. sometimes things happen to you that may seem horriable, painful, and unfair at first, but in reflection you find that without overcoming those obstacles you would have never realized your potential, strengh, willpower, or heart. everything happens for a reason, nothing happens by chance or by means of luck. illness,injury,love,lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. without these small tests,watever they may be,life would be like a smoothly paved,straight,flat road to nowhere.. it would be safe and comfortable,but dull and utterly pointless. the people you meet who effect your life and the sucess and downfalls you experince help to create who you become. even the bad experinces can be learned from to,in fact they are probably the most important ones. if someone hurts you,betrays you,or breaks your heart,forgive them. for they have may helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious when you open your heart. if someone loves you,love them uncodittionally,not because they love you,but becaouse in a way they are teaching you to love and now to open your heart and eyes to things. make every day count appreciate every moment and take from those moments everything that you can,for you may never be able to experince it again. let yourself fall in love,break free,and set your sights high. hold your head up because you have every right to. tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself,for if you dont it will be hard for others to believe in you. you can make your life anything as you wish. create your own life and go out and livr it with absolutely no regrets!!
