It's been awhile since i've rambled..

"sometimes you just need to write it out; it's ok to write just for you"

"Maybe it will inspire you to write something even better later"

"The people who read your blog love you.

sometimes, there are weirdie haters out there, but they're just the weirdie haters the people you really care about, care about you enough to not judge you"

How little did the wonderful women who wrote those words know how much they meant to me. I began writing this post over a month ago. I was in a dark and twisty place
 (Shout out to my Greys Anatomy readers who get that reference)
where I felt defeated and just plain icky. Those were the texts that I got from a few of my dear friends as I was cruising on the hot mess express.

Just when everything seems to be going normally and I'm in my wonderful little "life is grand" bubble life decides that I need a reminder that it is the boss.

I wont share the deets but for your enjoyment, and to prove I'm not a blogging robot here are a few things about me that I don't like to broadcast:

I over react. a lot.

I dwell on bad situations instead of realizing the good in them.

I cry. a lot.

More than normal girls I think.

I'm hypersensitive.

Sounds like fun Hu?

"I have just been a bucket of insecurity lately.

Sure, there is always that little voice in the back of my head telling me something is wrong, but lately that voice has a megaphone, and is hyper and ultra annoying. I feel like a big fat complaining winey baby. There are people who are hungry, there are people losing family members, there are people out there right now doing hard things and here I am complaining."

Those are the words I typed when I began this post.
Wahh Wahh Wahh

After much thought I realized that there are many trials we will face in life. Sometimes life will hand us the biggest mess ever and we will have to do everything in our power to get up in the morning and face the world. We will encounter things like the loss of life and terrible sickness. Those times will be unbearably hard. However, there will also be times where that jackass with the megaphone is telling you that your wardrobe is awful and you can't pass a math test and even though nothing drastic has happened, it is Tuesday and that is the hardest thing ever.

We don't get to pick our trials. They are picked for us and it is our responsibility to face them with as much grace and determination as possible. We can do hard things.

We will have those days where we are defeated and tired and ready to give up. It is inevitable, but we also get the chance to start over again in the morning and make it a better day. To make our lives better and to be grateful for the blessings we have and all of the positive in our lives.

We can make the decision to hold onto the things that make us upset or let them go and enjoy all the things that make life wonderful.
I am well aware that is easier said than done.
However, I truly believe that we are able to make our lives more full of happiness just by making up our minds to do so.
So my pretties, put a smile on that beautiful face of yours, forget about the pimple on your forehead or the overdue credit card bill that is still on your desk and just find peace in the fact that you are breathing and you have a certain blogger who loves you just they way you are. :)
