I wish I knew what to expect. Instead, when everything seemed to be going right, life can give you a 180 and make your whole world fall apart.

I realized I have suffered enough and have to stop feeling sorry for myself. When life gives you lemons, just go ahead and turn it into lemonade.

Life isn’t perfect and there are going to be ups and downs. It’s up to you to decide what you want to focus on. Instead of just worrying about everything that is negative in your life, focus on the positive.

Coming out of a position in your life when you feel like nothing went right or will ever be right is a situation that is hard to get out of. It’s hard to think positive when you’re constantly thinking of what can go wrong in the next part of your life.

Life is too short to worry about things that make you unhappy, people who have done you wrong, and to constantly think of what others think about you.

Instead of staying in this mindset where I’m always feeling upset, sorry for myself, and maybe even disheartened, I started focusing on myself.

I focus on things I can change about myself that make me a better person. I focus on ways that are beneficial for my lifestyle. The biggest lesson I’ve learned thus far is to not please everyone.

Bouncing back can relate to so many things. It can be after dealing with depression, after a break up, losing friends, failing a class, anything. Of course things are going to get hard, but it’s how we grow as a person.

Sometimes we lose things for better things to fall into place. By constantly sitting around and wondering what if, we are missing out on a lifetime of opportunities which we will only regret in the end.
