What we all go through.

Heartbreak. Confusion. Hurt. Pain. Sadness. Loss. 

    We all go through it.
             

                I wish none of us did, but we do. Its part of being human and its what makes us stronger. 

I remember when I was little. Watching all those movies about magic and fairy tales and just wishing that those people who find love and magic could be me. That I will be swept off of my feet and the above words don't exist.... What I find to be magic and the most beautiful thing is to find those people who are lost in the world and help them find their way. To see how they were in such a dark place and then to be guided to a light and living a beautiful life.                                                         

                        

                         What I've learned is that all these things are a part of life. I have done a lot of stupid things to try and cope with my problems, though I soon realized that none of those things would permanently make me forget my any of it. Because nothing can. They will always be a part of me and always be in my heart.



So believe it or not, I'm happy! I still have all of those things to carry with me and I will ALWAYS carry them with me. They are a constant reminder of what I have gone through and they will help me to get through whatever the future brings. My answer to all of your problems, is to find something you love and throw yourself in deep. It could be something as simple as reading, or journaling, or even going on a run. Just something that gives you happiness. Remember that you cannot control anything that occurs in your life, but make a pact to find the best in everything. After every rain, there comes a rainbow. Whether its there in plain sight, or hidden for you to find. 


Ps: I know how hard it is for a teenager to feel heartbreak. You feel like you will never find someone as good as you had before and you thought that they were the one. TRUST ME: I have gotten the "there's more fish in the sea" speech, but its so true. You may not have someone now and you are probably thinking that you will be single forever because just one week alone seems like forever. The best advice I can give is to focus on yourself. Find out who you are because that's half of what high school is about.You have to love you before you can give yourself to someone else.

 So here is a playlist for you. Just one of the many ways to relieve your pain. Go in your room,lay on your floor, turn off the lights, listen to this, AND CRY! But after that; get your lazy butt up, go for a run, compliment yourself, and remind everyone in your life how important they are to you

1. Its not my time by 3 doors down - Don't let yourself drown. Theres more to you than you even know so strive to be the best you can be because you are wonderful just the way you are, even if you don't see it! 
2. Lost by Coldplay - Just because your losing and your hurting doesn't mean you will always be lost and hurt. You will find your way and you will shine. Wait until the war stops and the doors unlock. 
3. Second chance by Shinedown -Don't let other people control your life. Sometimes making a mistake or losing someone is a second chance because you learn from it for next time.
4. Good life by One Republic - We may not have any stories left to tell but that doesn't mean we didn't  have any good stories in the first place. Let go of everything bad because theres nothing to complain about. This is a good life.
5. Beautiful by Eminem - This is one of my favorite songs. The media, books, movies, and peer pressure all put the emphasis on whats on the outside. The looks. When that is the last thing that we should base our opinions on because we will never measure up to our own expectations. 
6.  We are young by 3OH!3 - We are young. We make mistakes and sometimes we are really stupid. Learn from every decision you make because thats the ultimate way to learn. 
7. Haven't met you yet by Michael Buble - Unfortunately not all relationships are going to work out. But just wait because you ARE going to find that one person (: 

Regret.

      The thing I find funny about people who constantly regret their decisions and actions is how much time they waste pining over the past. Yes I have made mistakes, I have made tons of them and I will definitely continue to make more. I don't regret because I have learned from every mistake I have made and that's what will help me to become a better person, which is the most important thing. Yesterday is yesterday and today is a new day so live it. Live in the present and breathe the air of today and tomorrow and the next because those are the days that count. And if people are going to get angry at you for a mistake then how much do they truly mean to you? Mistakes are made by every single person, no one is perfect or even close to perfect. To really understand other people you have to look past their mistakes because they can't be taken back, but instead understand that those are the things that have made them the wonderful people that they are. So don't live counting regrets or reminding others of theirs. Because if you do, you will crumble and you will never truly be happy. If we spend today worrying about the regrets of yesterday and worrying about what might happen tomorrow then we will miss the wonders of today. I challenge you to be strong, confident, proud of yourself,  and free of regret!
