Out of the Norm...

    So I know I usually write about my day, or about something light-hearted and funny, but today I'm going to take it down a few notches...actually a lot of notches. Probably due to the overdose of hormones. Thank you mother-nature. ;)
     Anyhoo, I get the biggest epiphanies at the most random times. I was walking to my car after school and suddenly I looked around at the gorgeous sunset and thought...'man there is no where else in the world I'd rather be at this moment.' I have been so busy and so consumed with my life that I haven't even got the chance to understand the fate of the situation. I know I always say, I miss home or I miss my mom...which don't get me wrong...I totally do! I just honestly believe that things happen for a reason. It could be good or bad. People hurt you so you learn that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Your parents give you tough love so you learn to grow up. You become broke so you can learn to save your money. My point is that every bad thing can be turned into a positive.
    When I first found out I'd be moving 3,000 miles away from home, I wanted to crawl in a hole and never come out! After the initial shock, I went kicking and screaming....totally kidding...sorta. If I didn't move here, where would I be? Sure there are people that I miss...a lot...and things that I feel were left unfinished, but look what came knocking at my door. I love my school. I love my friends. I love my neighbor. I spend more time with the people in my class than I do at home. Sure I get down sometimes and people piss me off but looking at the big picture, all those little things don't seem to matter. There are people who have hurt me deeply but I can't let the bad things drastically define who I am on the inside.
     We played this game a few days ago and after all was said and done, we realized the game represented life and all that it has to offer. Where will you go? Will you decide to change the rules? How many obstacles are you willing to jump over to get to where you want to be? And most importantly...that you need to take each day at a time. Tomorrow hasn't happened yet...so live in the present. Life is so precious and many people tend to take all that it has to offer for granted.
      All of us have been let down by someone or something...ya it sucks. But like I said, people change and these things happen. You just have to take the time to sit and realize...for some reason, this is where I was meant to be at this time and place.
