Real Life
We all have trials in this life. We all have our problems. There are children without parents, families without homes, parents without children, and people without love. We all have hard days and stupid break ups. For me, I have an eating disorder. I was sexually harassed. I was lied to and betrayed. These are all just small parts of life that make life real. Life is not easy. It was never meant to be easy. Through all of my trials and heartaches, I now know that I'm not alone. Every person on this earth had to face something awful. Everyone. No matter what.
Sometimes I get on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, and I get off feeling terrible. I see all of the wonderful things that others do with their lives and how perfect it looks. I've wondered many times why I was the one that was chosen to go through these particular trials. I've prayed to and yelled at God asking him to take them away. I've tried it give up multiple times, thinking that would make it all better. Now I know that giving up is not the answer. And even though I will most likely try it again, everyone should know that it's not worth it.
I don't know what it feels like to lose a parent, a child, or my home. I hope I never find out. But for all of those that do know what it feels like, I hope they know that they are not alone. I'm not alone either. We never will be.
Life is rough. It's definitely a hard thing. We all have to face it, and fight through it. We all have to stand alone at one time or another, and fight for what we know is right. My battle has been trying to stay alive and happy. I've struggled with being happy for a long long time. It seems like I am happy the majority of the time, but I'm not. Most people don't know what I've been through. Not everyone understands that there even are trials in this life. That's okay, they'll find out.
Real life is not what it is portrayed to be. In movies, TV, magazines, and books, life is not real. This artificial life is a lie. It's not bad, because people enjoy trying to live that way. I enjoy trying to make my life perfect (sometimes). But no matter what I do, it's never going to be that perfect life I read about. Real life is full of trials. It's full of hate. Real life is something that all humans experience. And although it's sad, crazy, crappy, and sometimes fun, it will always work out.
God watches us at all times. He knows who we are. He knows us personally. He cares about that girl that tripped in the hall. He cares about that man in a cell. He cares about that child in the storm. He cares for everyone. God is not a judging, hateful, or scornful being. He is loving, forgiving, merciful, loving, caring, and hopeful. Even if we don't feel it, He's there. He is always there. He made life. He made this real life. He made it so that we could come, so that we could learn, and so that we could prove ourselves worthy. He doesn't give us trials that we can't handle. He made this for me. He made this for you. He made real life.
It's worth fighting for.

7/6/14
Well. It has been a long while since I have actually WRITTEN anything. Life is busy but boring. Make sense? I have absolutely nothing to do. I swear, I sleep 89% of my life away. The rest of the time I am either day dreaming, reading, or crying. Pathetic much? Ha. But seriously, there are a lot of things in my life that I feel like I have messed up. Within the last year I did not get accepted to the college I wanted to attend, didn't get any scholarships, didn't get the job I wanted, and just last night I found out that I did not pass any of the AP tests that I took. Sad, I know. Luckily, I have an amazing mom who helps me through all of this by listening to me complain about every possible thing to complain about. On the bright side, I did indeed get accepted to a college. I did get a job. And I still have an amazing mom! So life is not as bad as it could be. In other words, life could always be worse. At this time in my life I will be trying to stay positive, motivated, and continue on with my dream of changing the world. I encourage all of you to do the same.
