Another year older, hopefully wiser.

So I'm officially half way to 50 and quarter way to 100. Wow!! So hows that. You only get 1 out of 365/366 days to celebrate your exsistance, so why not make it great. Nothing special for this particular blog just words that have helped me get to where I am now. A lot has happened these past few weeks that really had me down but; "A flower that blooms from adversity, is the rarest and most beautiful of all" 

Life is quite the puzzle that would never get solved. But apparently that's the beauty of it. You don't know what's gonna come or go, but you have to cop it on the chin and be merry. And such is life.

"Maturity comes with experience, not age" When I talk to people on a serious note I hear "your pretty mature at your age" a lot. And it is because it is exactly that, with experience not age. So at 25 I have been through so much that I hope and pray no one else will have to go through ever. It was a road that shouldn't have been taken, but it was. And yet again, I had to cop it on the chin and be merry. But who is to blame but myself. "More people would learn from their mistakes if they weren't too busy denying them" so many things I thought I was being denied has actually turned into blessings in disguise. I wouldn't be where I am without them, nor would I have the strength that I have now without them.

"Don't skip your healing process, That is where you learn to truly love yourself. So many people are broken but chasing people, places and things assuming it will bless them in their brokenness- it won't. The worst year of your life can transform into the best year of your life. Just surrender to the process, throw every bit of vice away... When you're healed you are able to love with your whole heart. When 2 healed and whole people come together it will blow your mind! There is no other love like when 2 people can be completely open and vulnerable... That will be the best love you ever experienced. You cannot expect a broken person to love you the way you should be. Their heart isn't available. Love doesn't and shouldn't hurt. Broken people who don't have the ability to love do..." This quote cannot only be conveyed as a quote of love, but also life in general. I've had, what seemed to be worst years, turn into greatest years, because I have let myself healed from whatever wound that I suffered. "You cannot control the depth of a wound another soul inflicts upon you"

Out here in this big bad world, we will constantly be tested, physically and emotionally. It is up to us on how we take our tests. Whether we let it weigh us down, or we let it build us. Remember not everything that is bad, is bad, and not everything that is good, is good. Bad can sometimes turn good, and good can sometimes turn bad. It all depends on how you take it. And so I leave you with 1 last quote;

"Being defeated is often a temporary condition, giving up is what makes it permanent"
