Journey

Journey: passage or progress from one stage to another.

Life is a journey.

Sometimes life is insanely hard for some and sometimes it's a whole lot easier for others.
People deal with an addiction.
People deal with a broken heart.
People deal with deaths.
People deal with unwanted depression.
People deal with loss of friendships.
People deal with trying to "find" themselves.
People deal with incredibly tough decisions.
People deal with failure.

People are blessed with being able to withhold.
People are blessed with people around them to piece their broken heart back together.
People are blessed with the lives around them who care.
People are blessed with happiness.
People are blessed with friendships.
People are blessed with knowing who they are.
People are blessed with wonderful options right in front of them.
People are blessed with SUCCESS.

I am speaking for myself and for everyone else.

There are times when we as humans want to hand in the towel and give up. We all have shed so many tears in our life, no matter if we were just born or are hundred years old.

I have lost MANY friends. I have made many friends. I have had people around me die. I have more living around me right now than have died in my lifetime. I have had my heart ripped out and torn apart. My heart was put back together by GOD and others around me. I have been depressed. I have been joyful. I have failed MANY times. I have succeeded more than I have failed. I have lost myself. God knows who I am. I have cried myself to sleep. I have smiled before I fell asleep. I have had tough decisions to make. I have had the privilege of being able to make those decisions. I have experienced REAL pain. I have experienced REAL happiness. I have a loving family, a loving boyfriend, loving friends, and most important...a loving GOD.

Life is a journey, but we do NOT have to trek through it alone.
