it's not always rainbows.

i don't feel like i have very many regrets in life. i try to live each day the best i can, but there are definitely days and moments that i wish i could have "redo's." when i say "redo" i refer to getting another chance. for example like when you're in 4th grade and the 4 people playing four square all like each other they randomly decide to each get 7 redo's before they actually are out. yes that is a personal experience; no i'm not still bitter ;)

i wish people could see each other based on the intentions and goodness of their heart. that people wouldn't just assume that others wish the worst for them. i wish everyone could just get along. i wish that real life was the way i imagined it when i was young.

but then i realize something.. i realize how great i have it. how sweet and special every happy moment in my life is. how real and wonderful the people i associate with are. how blessed i am to have the BEST parents that work hard for me and love me and my sibs. i am lucky to see how much they love each other (yes..i am even lucky to hear their gross lovey dovey comments to each other..). it gives me hope that there is still goodness out in this world, in this crazy place where people have free agency to make whatever choices they want to.

the moral to this story is that i want to be the best ME possible. i want to work on bettering myself each day and to not get too discouraged when i fall a little bit short. there are going to be good times, but there will also be some bad. sometimes you just gotta get through them cause like it's said, "without the rain there would be no rainbows."
