There will be days when you're falling apart, there will be days when you don't know how you can possibly get out of bed and face the world. There will be days you want to cry, there will be days when you want to give up, there will be days when you don't feel like you can go on because the world is a terrible place then but there will be days where you can feel the sun on your face and there will be days where you are impossibly happy. There will be days where you can be with people you love and everything falls perfectly into place. Live for those kind of days.
Sometimes life is like a crazy roller coaster but the butterflies at the top when you drop from that fall make it all worth it. It's human to feel sad, it's human to feel happy, and you should never apologize for either of those.
Happiness is the secret to all beauty, there is no beauty without happiness. And happiness is everywhere if you take time to look.
Life is short and you can either just live life going through the motions or, you can live life.
Be careless to a point. Have fun, celebrate, go out with friends. Embarrass yourself by your "ugly" laugh and snort every so often. Be apologetically yourself. Go skating even if you don't know how, go to the movies and cry at the sad parts, eat so much at restaurants that you feel like you're gonna hurl at anytime, and if you do hurl and want more go back for seconds and don't even feel bad about it.
One of the best quotes I think anyone has ever told me would be "Sometimes even if you've drove your whole life traffic gets to heavy, you just feel like you're doing something wrong, maybe even going the wrong way, so you have to pull over. Even the best drivers pull over sometimes." Life throws so many curves at us its nearly impossible to not break. How long your down doesn't mess with the big picture, it's how you choose to get back up. If you stayed sad your whole life then what's the point? You only have one life and this ones yours. Don't go through it miserable.
In life we have to learn simple steps
See it
Learn it
Feel it in everyway possible
If it hurts you, let it break you
Cry and scream if you have to
Then pick yourself up and turn your page from that chapter.
Your story is far from finished darling.
There is always happiness in life sometimes you just have to search for it. What can I tell you from my journey? It's worth it. Pick laughter, pick happiness, pick yourself up, pick your life to be something your grandkids will tell there grandkids.
No matter what struggle you may be going through at this momment, I hope you overcome it and see you are stronger than any force telling you that you are not.
Better days are always ahead.
xo,
Kelso
