thoughts.

Since I’ve come to college I’ve learned one big important lesson; crappy things happen TO EVERYONE, even dear old me. I mean, I’ve always known this - I’ve seen friends and family endure trial after trial ever since I was little. The thing is though- it wasn’t me and I was glad for that, for I thought I could never be so dignified - so strong. I always watched from afar with awe and admiration for the strong men and women that surrounded me. AND THEN!!!... I came to college and I was challenged in virtually every aspect of my life, and for that I am dearly grateful. Because, as I was saying there’s one important thing I’ve taken from all of this, and that is; things happen, people disappoint and surprise you, and tragedy strikes, and with all the heartache that these things can bring, they also strengthen me. The crap that comes makes me less afraid. Because when something that happens to me that I never would have expected in a million years to, and I deal with it and keep on living, I learn that I am strong, yes, but more importantly I learn and feel that I have a LOVING FATHER IN HEAVEN who is there for me, not to take away the pain, no, but rather to build me up to fight the storm. With each of these experiences I fear less, and hope more, for I have come to understand and know more that I am not alone in this all, and really, what could be better than that?
