Life isn't that bad

Nicholas Sparks once said,"When your struggling with something, look at all the people around you and realize that every single person you see is struggling with something, and to them, its  just as hard as what your going through." I am very fascinated with this quote because if you really think about it all of us are on the same boat. Believe it or not we all go through the same or similar things, but at the time, things are at their worst for you, and you think no one can relate to it or you don't expect for anyone to completely understand how it feels. I know this because I've gone through a really hard situation that i thought it was never going to get better and my life was over. I was one of the lucky people because i had a friend that was there for me and helped me get through it day by day and she always told me everything is going to be okay just give it some time. And like always she was right and I was just exaggerating like always. Now that i think about it, my situation was bad but someone out there in the world may have it worst. I believe we must cherish all the great and happy things that go on in our lives but we cant really do that unless we go through something bad first to appreciate it. It really sucks but hey no one ever said life was going to be easy. All we need to do is make the best of what we have and when when something is not at its best just try to think to yourself, it may be bad right now but it will get better, just be patient because being patient is the key to everything. To me life isn't that bad it really depends how you make it. If you always think bad things then your life is not going to be too delightful but if your always thinking positive then of course life should feel like a blessing and you should go all out because before we all know it, it might be a little too late to do certain things we've always wanted to accomplish in life. Well I hope I've left anyone reading this thinking about life and to cherish and be grateful for everyday that we have on this beautiful world.

Be who you are

John Wooden states, "Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are." This quote really interests me because it is true. Most people always worry about what other people think when that's not the case. I know i sometimes worry about what people are going to think of me at times but i think that's normal and that everyone has that feeling every now and then. We should all be who we are and do what makes us happy. Do not try to be the person other people want or expects us to be. If you act the way you really are and show your true personality it can be a reward because people are going to like you because your exactly you. If your a person that doesn't act like yourself just to impress other people, just sit and think, is it really worth it? No one should ever let another person change them into the person they want you to be if they are really who they say they are then they would truly love you for who you are and if they don't, then that person is not worth it no matter how much you think they are. Wouldn't life be so much funner if you do the things you like to do and live the way you want? I believe it is. So i say who cares if people think your weird, awkward or a little crazy, they just don't know what they're missing out on Because guess what, all these people are the most interesting and fun people out there in the world. I just wish more people will take the time to talk to them even if they are not they're regular crowd. I bet they will find more than what they were expecting and will love the change of scene and conversations. It can probably show you a different side of you that you never knew was there and who knows, you might like it way better and add that to your personality. I always wondered why we think we must act like a certain way for people to like us, when the truth is everyone wants us to show them who we really are, no one likes a fake person trying to be who they are not.

Love

Bob Marley once wrote, "Only once in your life,truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them thongs that you've never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you cant wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh when you make a fool  of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid, its like being young again. Colors seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter's seem part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn't exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps you get through a long days work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, theres no need for continuous conversation, but you find your quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before became fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there's a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly  a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life." I know this quote is super long but it is the best quote i have ever read about love. it makes me think of all the things you can get out of love. I know its an amazing feeling because this is exactly how i feel about that one special person in my life. I feel like i can say or do anything around him because i know he wont judge me. Whenever a person is with that special someone you feel like nothing can hurt you or get in the way of your special bond. Your bond is so strong that nothing else in the world compares to it. It never fails that whenever your without them you cant help but think of them and hope the next time your together is soon. Most people might think that your relationship is odd but they don't understand what your relationship truly shares. I say if your happy with that special person then it should not matter what anyone else thinks or says.

May Dreams Come True

Samuel Taylor Coleridge once wrote, "What if you slept? And what if, in your sleep, you went to heaven and there plucked a strange and beautiful flower? And what if, when you awoke, you had the flower in your hand? Ah, what then?" Most people when they wake up from a pleasant dream or a horrific nightmare and just think to themselves it was just a dream. But is it really just a dream or is there a deeper meaning? I do not think we dream just to dream, there has to be a secret message that must be decoded the right way. Dreams should be taken as an advantage to learning things about your inner conscious and your personal being. Imagine if we did wake up with an object from one of our dreams, what would we do? Some people would pretend it did not happen because there would be no realistic explanation for it. On the other hand some people, me being one of them, would be fascinated with such an amazing experience and will not be able to wait to go to sleep and dream again to see what else they can bring back with them. Our world as we know it would not be the same. If we can pull out objects from our dreams, imagine the other abilities we can possibly have? I believe that dreams are a way to escape from the real world. You can go anywhere you want or have anything. Dreams have endless possibilities. It is sad how we forget half of our dream in the first few minutes of waking up. So i recommend everyone should have a dream journal to write everything they remember while their dream is still fresh in the mind. you never know, it can be an answer to a question in the future. Dreams are such a fascinating thing to learn about. To know how to interpret them, to me would be life changing because dreams are not straight forward; they have to be examined carefully to fully understand the real meaning. For example dreaming about being naked does not necessarily mean that, it means the person is afraid of being exposed of lying or committing a sin. There are dream dictionary's at library's or anywhere books are sold to help anyone get started on decoding dreams and finding out about your inner-self.
