Another week of January completed. To say that this week has been one of the worst would be an understatement. Everything in the Gods' creation that could have gone wrong, did. I can't count the amount of times I have said "WTF?" in these past seven days. As much as depressed and upset I feel, I feel okay. It's a weird feeling, but I soon realized life may take turns that you aren't ready for.

If I were to tell anyone that I was expecting anything that happened this week, I'd be lying. I've had personal problems, relationship problems, and just all around problems. Each thing that happened left me wanting to wake up to this all being one big dream. However, a few hours later, I would realize that everything happening was really happening.

I'm not sure if everything being thrown at me at one time helped me get through it more easily, but I am slowly coming to terms with each event. While I should be devastated, I am standing taller. When the tears fall, they are only temporary, and it is definitely OK to be upset. While I thought I'd be dragging around, I am walking with purpose.

Everyone knows (and hates) that life isn't fair. You can't have everything you want, how you want it, and when you want it. It just doesn't work that way. Although you may have something great, life can take it away from you in a second.

In realizing how much has changed in the past week, I also realized that such is life, and I can't stop certain things from happening. Although I can put my best effort in, I can only do so much. That isn't saying you shouldn't at least try because everyone should put the time in to get what they want.

Life doesn't stop because you lose the love of your life or because your animal passes away. Life doesn't stop if you're having family issues, and life doesn't stop once you aren't around. Life goes on for longer than any of us can tell. We are living in this world for only a certain amount of time, and if life goes south, we have to keep going.

Although no one expects a certain twist or turn thrown at them, they happen. We have to be ready to accept what happens, because at the end of the day, we're alive, and that's what matters. Emotional or physical pain may hurt a lot, but it only lasts so long before a new and improved you breaks out of its shell.

It's so important to realize that no matter what, you have to take care of yourself. You can't destroy yourself because of a wrong turn that your life takes. It will all work out in the end no matter what.

And you never know, sometimes the unusual bends and curves in the road can lead to the most beautiful sights you've ever seen.
