Smile

And then, just when all seemed lost...

Something happens that changes everything...

Do you know how much you make me smile?

I never want this year to end

Life is all about ups and downs. Going through the motions. Feeling like the whole world has come crashing down, regretting decisions... feeling lonely and out of balance... but things always get better. Sometimes it's something small, something a friend says that makes you smile, listening to a good song or reading something inspiring.


But I've realised that it really comes down to choice. I can choose to feel miserable because of _____ or I can seize the day and enjoy life despite the people and things that seem determined to get me down.

It's easy to get caught up in silly, superficial drama, and sometimes that's okay, but there's so much more to life than that.

Sometimes you have to let go of things to move forward, to heal, to find balance again.

We can't change the past, but we have power over the present, and we can choose what we let affect us every day.

I don't have any regrets, everything I've done has brought me here. But I'm going to choose not to be affected by things that, really... don't matter!

Life is for living, for learning, for loving.
