Life Happens WTF you gonna do bout it.

How many of us are guilty of letting the death of someone close to us control our lives, wither its being able to continue to be happy with our lives our unable to celebrate their favorite holiday. How many of you are guilty of letting a past mistake control you? how many of us has ever gotten rejected from something or someone you really wanted and was sad about it for a week, a month, a year, hell maybe longer? last but not least how many of you ever complain about your looks, or your weight? I Am guilty as charged of all of the above. Last night i was watching a movie called "Love Happens" and it made a lot of sense what the main character was talking about. So i woke up this morning with a compelling thought to write a note called "Life Happens"

Every day we go through our own personal lives never really realizing the outcome of our decision. Everyday someone dies, get's rejected, dumped, but we should not let that hinder us from our every day life. When my mother died on December 24, 2005 i was unaware of the impact it had on me. As o lately looking back to the past four years i realized that it did. I was unaware to enjoy the holiday season. I would lock myself up in a room or pull away from the world and just be alone. But as i sit here writing this note i ask you is that what my mother would want? or would she want me to live and go on with my life? I do a lot of things in my life and not think about the consequences because i have not morned her death, i use the excuse i live everyday to the fullest but am i really doing that or am i just running away from feeling what i am feeling. So i ask how many of you out there is doing this same thing running away from yourself so you will not feel the pain of the death/ how many of you feel sad the day the anniversary of someone death comes around. Now ask yourself would your love one want you to feel sad and stop being you, stop being the one they loved just because they died? The answer is probably no, they would want you to celebrate their life by living your own. Remember this people "Life happens" we all will die some day so celebrate live and live yours.

Have you ever did something in your past that you wish you could take back? Well i know i have actually a lot of stuff. Like for example hurting someone who i could have been loving right now. I was dating this person about four years ago and i was everything to them. However i was being young and new to the scene i did not pay any attention to them and i let them slip through my finger tips. one day a year later i am leaving the library at my school and there they were walking right by me. the next day i told one of our mutual friends to give my number to them so i could talk so them and they did we met for a while and we chatted and all these feeling arose from me that i didn't know i had. Well here we are in 2010 and they have been dating this other dude for the past four years, i found out they are happy. Hearing that really made me think that could have been me in a stable relationship. But again even though it was my fault i do not regret it because it was a stepping stone to me gaining the wisdom i have now. As of today i let that mistake go as well as passed mistakes and move on. See "Life Happens" and those very same mistakes that you made are just stepping stones to you becoming more wiser and becoming a better person no need to dwell on them and let them control you.
we can not stop it, it is what we do with it that count use it as a driving force or use it as another weight to hold you down.
So people the point i am trying to make in this note is that "Life Happens" sometimes not in the way we plan or hope for it to happen, but no matter what it does. Just as much good things happen in our lives there is a equal amount of bad you can not grow a flower with out sun and rain. Life teaches us lesson so that we can grow and learn what to do. Somethings we do not have control of but most things we do, like who we date, how we do in school, the type of life we want, and the type of person we are. But the things we can not control do not dwell on them because it is beyond you control just keep on moving into the next moments of your life because 9 times out of 10 they will be better then your last. So remember "life Happens" Wither you want it to or not, so you can either join in and celebrate the good and bad or let it past you by because life waist for no man or woman.A word of advice Mourn the losses, because they're many; but celebrate the victories, because they're few."Life Happens"

Rejected means to refuse to accept (someone or something). How many of us have been rejected before. I had my first rejection back in October of 2009. it was not from a person but from something i wanted to do since i was like the young age of 5. I remember the day i got the letter i swear i thought it was going to say you have been accepted but as i opened it and read the first three lines i felt my world crash down i went into a state of depression for about a week. Constantly questioning myself, asking y i was not good enough to be accepted looking in the mirror telling myself that i am a loser and that i am worthless. I began to eat, i was not going to class and let my hair grow i looked like a straight up bum, ask my sister Asia i didn't even recognize myself, it only lasted bout a week and i got up one morning and told myself i am worthy and if they can't see it i will show them. i took the letter and taped it to my mirror so that everyday i can remind myself that i am worthy and that i am not going to give up. You see rejection can be a good or bad thing depending on the person, like they say when one door closes another one open and it is so true. Thanks to the rejection i was able to travel more and concentrate on school and myself. So you see again people "Life Happen" and

  1. This is beautiful. We do allow life to hold us down. The worse part is how we impact those around us. I know I sometimes allow my bad days to affect my friends and family and that's so unfair to them. I'm working on coping with adversity better. Its hard but not impossible.
