Today’s entry is actually something that I wrote quite a few years back but wanted to share with you all…
To every girl & guy who gossiped about me in the corners of school...To those who were a slap in the face...To all the close-minded or misunderstanding...To those who broke my heart...You all challenged me to become the person I wanted to be. I am stronger because of what you put me through... & no matter what you've done to me you have unknowingly done so much for me.
ANYWAAAY.
As I've grown, I've learned several things. Life is full of disappointments & people you trusted will sooner or later let you down. I've learned that often those you love will love someone else & there's only one way to fall; fast & hard.
I've learned that out of thousands of smiles, it takes one to touch your heart. I've found that words can be deceiving, but the truth always lies in a person's eyes.
I've learned that everything can change in the blink of an eye & tears often come without invitation.
I've learned crying can make us stronger & there is never too much love to go around. I've learned that prejudice helps no one & that weapons don't hurt people, people hurt people.
I've learned sticks & stones may leave cuts and bruises but harsh words leave scars. I've found that every time you give someone a piece of your heart, it's a piece that you will never get back.
I've learned the past is meant to be put behind us & we can't dwell on regrets, for what's done is done. I've learned that trusting yourself is the first step & that forgiving is remembering that helps your own heart more than theirs. I've found that family isn't always blood & everyone is someone's hero.
I've learned life is unexpected & that anyone can do anything. I've learned some things aren't meant to be understood & that only time heals. I've found that imagination is our greatest gift & that we are meant to dream for a reason.
I've learned it is never too late to fall in love & that being "beautiful" is all on the inside. Mistakes are our best teachers & everything happens for a reason.
Only then can you live life to its full & true potential. There is no person in the world who is made to handle every punch that’s thrown at them. We aren’t made that way. We`re made to get mad, upset, sad, be hurt, stumble & fall.
We aren’t supposed to be able to handle everything. But that’s what makes us stronger in the end, by learning from the things that hurt us most.
Quote of the day
'it's impossible' said pride. 'It’s risky.' said experience. 'It’s pointless' said reason. 'Give it a try' whispered the heart…”
