Have you ever had one of those weeks where you feel everything is going great and your life is finally on track and then you wake up and realize that it's really not. That there are people you wish were still in your life but aren't anymore and that makes life a little less great? Well, I was having a week like that until a friend of mine reminded me that well, That is life! The ups and downs, the love given and the love lost, and being sure to learn more about yourself along the way. So in honor of Jeanie and her love of list here are some things I have learned over the past few weeks.. maybe these things will help one of you out too!
-My friends rock! I'm not sure how I would have made it through the last few weeks without them, I seriously do get by with a little help from my friends! And a great thing about friends is that they can be anywhere in the world ( Momma Hooker ) and I always will know that they love me!
-Love is never "a fault." I have heard a lot of "well it's your fault this is happening" over the past few weeks, and I have finally come to the realization Love IS NOT a fault! To say that love is a fault is to belittle it, and no matter how crazy the love may be, you should never belittle love!
-Never be afraid to let people in. That is one of the most important things I have learned. For a while I had been afraid of letting people in then I dropped a TV on a girls head and everything changed. And even though the last time I did it ended in heartbreak, I know now not to be scared, and that is a blessed thing.
-When it comes to friendship, age doesn't matter. This one should be pretty obvious, but it is true. I have found friendship with not old ( this is you Cindy ) but more "older" people than me and my life has been forever blessed and changed because of it, and younger people too. Friendship is such a great thing- and it is my goal to never forget that
.-God puts all people in our lives for a reason. Whether it is to save you over and over again ( Kelsey ), to be a listening ear whenever- and i do mean whenever- you might need one ( Jean ), to teach you more about yourself than you thought possible ( Cindy ), someone to complain to about the crazyiness in our lives ( Jessica ) or to just be somebody who has been there all along ( A and Payton ) each and every person we come in contact with, God has put there. And no- we may not understand why they are there, but maybe one day we will.
-To go along with that.. Just because they are in your life does not mean that they always will be. And it will hurt when they leave, trust me on this, but in the end hopefully you will be able to see the good they did when they were around, and to realize that just because they are not in your life anymore, doesn't mean you can't still love them.I guess that is it for now-
I am so thankful and blessed to have you all in my life. Thank you all for keeping me sane, Love each and every one of you!
live, love, matter.
