Days like these completely frustrate me and make me wonder “what in the world am I trying to do with my life?” Everything seems so trite and obsolete. The things that worry me don’t, the things that do, shouldn’t.
Alas, here I am, beach living in Southern Florida and ya know, although I’m a little upset about the current hectic state of my life, I know that Bob Marley’s Three Little Birds came up on my Itunes for a reason. As much as I hate the cliché term “everything happens for a reason”, I guess to an extent it’s completely true. I’ve been through a lot of hard times in my life and look, here I am. I’m following my dreams and living for myself. Perseverance. My left wrist is a constant reminder of that. “Every little things gonna be all right”. Maybe not the way you planned for them to be, but that’s the beauty of life. You can screw up, and know it 100% but time doesn’t cease until time in your life stops. You can create, learn, recreate, grow, relapse, relearn and in the end these crazy hard times will do nothing but make you a better person in the end.
I’m sure this all sounds very abstract and I’m thinking/typing that way on purpose. Whether it is in your work life, your personal life, or whatever, it all rings true. Sometimes you need those crappy times to realize that life’s not about floating- it’s about learning and trying new things if the old ones fail. It seems very fitting that the Rolling Stones song- lyrics: “You can’t always get what you want” came up next on my itunes. Life’s funny but in the end it will all work out in whatever way it will so there’s no use fretting over the uncontrollable things in life. All you can do is live your life the best you can, learn from your mistakes, and try your hardest in the future to remember how to avoid the mistakes- it’s an adventure and you can’t get down on yourself- that’s not living, push through and have a good time. People will take you or leave you, but the ones that take you deserve you and the ones that leave you, don’t.
Yeah, I agree that you can't get anything and absolutely that it is those mistakes or our downs that are to be looked better on cause it's the path to make you look at the past but after looking deep inside we call our present and lift our heads up! New day, new things, everything is just better, and thanks for that thing I thought, "I thought it was forever.."
