Life

Life- one simple word yet it has a humongous meaning to it! I have learned a lot of things this past year- about life, family, and most importantly myself- and I am continuing to learn. life is a journey, one that is beautiful, ugly, simple, complex, smooth sailing, and one with some big waves- that's what makes life LIFE! we cant expect it to be one out of fairy tale books because this is reality, yet at the end of our journey here on earth it ends happily ever after! It has always been said that people come and go in your life but they all leave an impression on you and its what you take from these experiences that will help you further yourself. I thought that i knew myself before I went to college but little did I know that I really didn't and still don't know. Believe me I am slowly starting to learn and grow into the person I was destined to be and what a learning experience it is but I love it! be glad for your bumps in the road, the waves in your calm ocean, welcome them warmly and don't look back to what life used to be. you are your past, present, and future but they don't define you- you are constantly changing. Don't ever regret feeling that special feeling whatever it may be about- cherish it- even if it is but for a small moment! this is knowing you are living, breathing- you can feel emotion even if some are bad. a wise person once said if we didn't know the bad we wouldn't know the good. like I said welcome the bad and know you can and WILL get through it. it may be hard when you are going through it but when you look back upon it you will see the change it made in your life and know you had to go through it to realize something or to gain a little part of yourself. Love when you can and don't hold back. A little saying I have in my scriptures says that when you find out who you are you will be sorry you didn't try harder. so find out who you are who you are destined to be and love it, embrace it with all you have and share it with others. you help people through your experiences and love and just being you. don't settle for less then what you can be! after i got my patriarchal blessing a quote was made- the good will always outweigh the bad! just remember that and remember life is a journey embrace it!
