“Reality Check”
It’s crazy how strong some people are. They’ve been through so much and somehow seem to still make it through each day. I have so much respect for those people, knowing what they have being able to relate. You never actually know what someone is going through unless you talk to them. As humans, we are all so quick to judge on appearance, actions and so on. It’s not technically all our fault, we are just wired that way. But that doesn’t mean that we have to stay that way forever, change is the only constant in our lives. From day to day, things change, we change. From the minute we wake up to the minute we go to sleep, we are faced with choices, to change or to stay the same. Which ever path we choose, we are sent down the long and winding journey we call life. Yes this “life” may be difficult, but it’s also beautiful and worthwhile. So many of us just rush through our daily lives, not taking any time to just sit and think about the precious present. We think about what we are going to do next, it’s almost impossible for us to just enjoy everything around us. The people in our lives, they are so incredibly influential and help us mold who we are even if they are unaware. Stop and think about one person who has been the most influential in your life. It may be one of your parents, a brother, a sister, a teacher, a best friend, who ever. They mean something to you, and don’t you even forget to tell them that you love them every once in a while. Everyone loves to hear those three words, “I love you”, say it as many times as you can because you never know if that may be your last. People use the phrase YOLO almost in relation to this, though it may not be directly related, it still ties in. You only live once, four worlds that are often misinterpreted by lots of people. You only live once does not mean go smoke, do stupid shit, drink until you pass out and party every night. It means go out and actually do something with your life. Be altruistic, do something nice for someone that you may barely know, or don’t even know at all. You never know, it just might make their whole day, or even their week. Again, you honestly never know what someone is going through, you may have just saved their life. It’s also is extremely crucial to just take time and re-evaluate life every once in a while. We move so fast in our lives, we never actually have time to look around and enjoy the beautiful things in the world. Think about all the amazing people and things in life, it may just give you another perspective and another reason to smile. Try your absolute best to not take anything for granted, it could be gone in a blink of an eye. Live each day to it’s full potential, and don’t waste another day dwelling on the small obstacles that you are faced with. You are strong, and you will make it through, I promise.
