Isn't it weird

How your whole world can fall apart in the blink of an eye?

I think it is very intriguing how fast life moves, how we think we can predict how our lives will go, and how life can change in the blink of an eye.
In the  last year my life has changed dramatically in ways I would have never expected. It has been the hardest year yet, but I am confident that after making it through this I am a stronger and better person.
All of this pain that seems to be never ending around me, not even in only my own life but those around me too, is honestly quite exhausting. I just want it to end.
But the good thing is that all of this is something to bring us hope, to grow us, a chance to keep our attitude in check, and a chance to rely on Our Savior, Jesus Christ.

As you may or may not know, my life has not had much of "trials" you may say up until this point and has been quite uneventful in terms of bad things happening.
With the striking of some unfortunate events I have been angry, sad, depressed, and quite frankly a crazy person. Thanks to some people in my life I have started to find my way back to the hope I have in Christ and His overwhelming mercy.

It is such a blessing and a curse to be able to feel things so deeply because it is to know that you are human. I'm not wishing pain or despair on anyone but instead I am learning to treasure all stages of life: the good and bad.. to learn from them all, to test my faith, to make me stronger, and so maybe one day I can help someone else.
Our attitudes and our lives are all in our power to change and make the best of what comes our way.

Recently I read a book and it said this, " There are many things to be scared of in this world: a bloom of jellies. a sixth extinction. a middle school dance. [ loved ones dying, not paying bills, relationships failing, passing class, ect. whatever it may be...]  But maybe we can stop feeling so afraid... We may be plenty fragile but we are also the only ones who can decide to change." (the thing about jellyfish)

Life is what you make of it and if we decide to make it a good one, it may just turn out that way & we might just be able to change the world.

p.s. definitely read "the thing about jellyfish" by Ali Benjamin.
