Sometimes it's just difficult to see the silver lining behind all the clouds.
Life is satiated by memories and people and moments that bring us down; maybe we like to think a little too much about the negatives rather than the wonderful that has crossed our way. In the end, we all are incredibly blessed we got the chance to be here and to experience the roller-coaster that is living. Without the bad, we could not treasure the beautiful; oftentimes it's hard to breathe, we feel like we're drowning, but you know what? Through those moments we learn: they make us stronger.
To keep breathing is what truly matters.
Through the downs,
through the storms,
through the frustrations,
through the disappointments.
They will all pass.
There's beauty everywhere around us.
It's truly worth living for.
I love you.
Thank you for being you,
thank you for being there for me,
thank you for being a part of the beautiful in my life.

I love this post. We all have hardships that make it hard to carry on. They sometimes lead us to something better and sometimes they don't. Life is not a candy machine. Sometimes you don't always get back what you put in.
ReplyDeleteToday I had an great day. I went to a meeting and the old men were "inspired" by what I told them. I didn't get any coffee because I was, of course, fashionably late, but that didn't bother me. Then Michaels had 10 big canvases on sale for $10. That never happens! Further, Americana paint was only .50.
I ended up going to Barns N. Noble and a guy commented on my "beautiful" dress, we struck up a conversation and I found out he just lost his job today. They were making cut-backs at the factory he was working out. Surprisingly he wasn't too distraught; he was more worried about how this would make his wife feel. I talked to him for a good hour before going to do my laundry and preparing for night-class.
The point, I guess, is we all have hardships. But we also all have people who love and care about us. Who want us to be the best we can be. I wish you the best, and I love these photos! They are so inspiring and uplifting.
