For the majority of my teenage years to now, life has thrown in many different obstacles and struggles for me to overcome.

Some days were worse than others, but for the most part, i always got through everything that was ever put in my way. But, whenever something really positive and uplifting would happen in my life, it seemed to me as if it were a sign that life was about to hurl something really bad right at me. Sure enough, that is what would happen.

I always just want to hit the pause button on life and just enjoy all the good that I have going on in my life instead of always stressing about when the next bad event will hit me. I am never good at letting difficult things go in my life, I tend to always dwell on the bad and it makes me have an even harder time appreciating any of the good that I have going on in my life.

But, why is it so hard for things just to go smoothly in my life?

I don't think that I ask for much but apparently, according to life, I am supposed to have all of these challenges and hurdles to overcome in order to move on in my life. I know this may seem like I am just complaining about life and yes people do have it worse, but I just want to catch a break. I just want to be able to take a deep breath and remind myself that everything is going to be alright and everything will work out in the end. While I know this to be true from experience, it doesn't make dealing with the constant challenges on a daily basis any easier to deal with. This is for the people that just want to catch a break in life.

Let's try to make the best out of what we have.

Although we have to deal with all of the bullshit that life decides to throw our way, let's not make it eat up all of our happiness that we have going on during all of the bad. Life will always throw us curveballs, sometimes we won't understand the timing of it all and that's okay. Maybe we aren't meant to understand why it's happening at this certain point in our lives or how we can fix it right away, but I am a firm believer that everything in life happens for a reason and we are never given anything that we can't handle.

So we may be the people that can never catch a break, but I do know that it does nothing but make us stronger. Sometimes I wish the timing of it all would be better so I can focus on all the good that I have going on for myself, but life does not necessarily work that way.

The most important thing is to always keep moving forward and not let it engulf your entire life with constant stress and sadness.
