Inspired
So I could say these days of my life has been pretty crappy. I get it when some people's lives has its ups and downs, and so far for the past month its been down mostly. I don't usually have down days as much as this but I'm going through paranoia stuff happening and I know it shouldn't be that big of a deal but I really don't want to deal with this kind of stuff right now. I kind of always plan to avoid it, but I'm glad to get great advice from friends that are there for me. I learned to realize that life happens. People go through tougher times than anything I've ever dealt with and their able to make the best of their lives so why not me? I'd like to acknowledge one of Joanna Yan's quotes on her blog that I still believe to be true, "New things begin and old things end. But there will always be someone there for you, for you to vent to, for you to have an adventure with. You have to keep moving forward though, things fall apart so better things can fall in place."-Joanna Yan. So this sunday I went to church wearing sweat pants with my eyes half closed and half awaked. My parents like taking the 7 am church time and I'm always sleepy in there. But this sunday it was surprisingly interesting, they had a blind 22 year old girl and a blind 12 year old boy preform for us. The girl was singing and the boy played the piano and everybody in the church became tearful. I held back my tears but it did touch me, throughout the whole time in church I kept thinking about my problems, being selfish and not praying for others around me that could be going through worser things. I thought, "if these two kids can beat the odds and learn to sing and play the piano when their blind, I have the advantage that I'm not taking. I have good health, a good life, and a great family, what's there to complain about? I thought the most I can do is confront this person thats been the cause of my problems, and give the other one some space he might need, even though I really want to be friends with him, I've got to learn to let go. Also I recommand reading Angela's Ashes, the book has great closure through Frank McCourt's sad childhood. The hardship of a drunk father, poor mother, 3 other children to care for, and his dream to go to America.
