Learning To Accept Where Life Takes You

Life can really just take you about anywhere…

Sometimes we wonder where life can take us. We don’t quite know if it will be good or bad. Life is very difficult, but maybe because we make it hard. The bigger picture of this is to see what life itself can throw at us and understanding why it is happening to us. In reality, anything is possible to really happen whether it is something that we want to happen or not. I guess it's just the process of accepting things of how they are. Although, most of the time, that is exactly where we get stuck on, acceptance. Acceptance is very important to understand; to really acknowledge why we have to learn how to accept things for how they are. Me personally, I am still struggling how to do that, but every day I take it day by day.

Accepting many things is a very hard thing to do. Sometimes you may feel angry or just really upset to the point where you just don’t know what to do. The feeling is very unusual, it keeps bothering you, it’s the only thing you can think about. I feel like it gets to the point where you just look at life like, “why man, why me?” Right? It is okay if that happens, it’s perfectly normal, nothing is wrong with that. But, I guess we can’t always blame things on life, sometimes things are supposed to happen, I quite still don’t know why, but it does.

Life for me is very frustrating, I know that nothing comes easy, although sometimes it’s just luck. I try day by day to be happy and be a better person than who I was the day before. Yes, it is difficult to accept a lot of things in my life just because I don’t deserve it. I don’t mean I don’t deserve it in a bad way, but a good way. A lot of things in my life right now are dealing with things that are hurting me, but I guess this is the process of becoming stronger than ever. The feeling I get is weird, I feel lost and confused. I feel tears running down my warm cheeks as I cry for help and to stop the pain. It’s odd to feel that way but I do. Sometimes, I need someone to help me, someone to guide me and be there every step of the way. I’ve been doing everything all by myself, and now it’s time that I actually need someone to be that motivator. Who knows, only time can tell what is right.

The meaning of life is meaningful and broad; it can just take you about anywhere. Life wouldn’t be so difficult if we learned how to be strong and accept a lot of things. It may take time, but being more aware and patient of it, it can turn into something great. Acceptance is the key to life, and for many of us if can also increase happiness. Life is a journey, but only you can control how to live it.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
