Samuel 1:16

...for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.

Enjoy the Little Things 💙

It's been awhile since I've written, but today I just want to talk about little happy moments in life that make the journey worth while.
Although we live in a world of hate, war, and anger, there's always something good out there. It might be the tiniest thing like a ladybug or something huge like a sunset, but those are the things that we need to treasure the most. With all of the technology and busy schedules, people often forget to stop and "smell the roses". I don't like the smell of roses, but I like the smell of fresh cut grass... So you can stop and smell that too.
Often we only think that this world is so corrupt and there's nothing good out there, but that's completely not true. The world is filled full of wonderful  beautiful things. We just need to find them. We need to notice something small and learn to love it. We need to enjoy the little things...

Don't Quit!!

I know...

Almost exactly 1 year ago I went to the treatment center that changed my life. It's so strange to look back and see how much I've changed. My life is great one second, and hell the next. And that's exactly what life is supposed to be like. It's not easy. It's not ever going to be easy. But it will be worth it. I know it will. Right now I'm laying in my bed trying to fight these thoughts that satan is putting in my head. I know that he's real. He talks to me everyday. I want anyone reading this to know that any bad thought you think or bad feeling you feel comes from the devil. His one goal is to make everyone feel as bad as he does. Don't let him. He's tried to make me give up. Three times now he has almost succeeded, but I won't give up. Nothing is worth giving up. I don't care that the media wants us to be perfect. I don't care that people judge me. I don't care about satan. I hate him. I hate him with everything I have. He had no right to be in anyone's life. He takes too many of us. I won't let him take me. He wants me to think that no one understands me or what I am going through. He lies. I know that Jesus Christ understands me. He has felt every bit of pain I have felt. I'm not trying to be preachy but this is what I know. Satan walks this earth. In the bible it states, “And the Lord said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.” He is here. Life sucks and I know it. I'm not going to pretend that I know everything or that I have the worst life out of anyone, but I know that life is not easy. But if we endure to the end... It's worth it.

Today was a horrible day in the life. But guess what? Someone once said, "it's just a bad day, not a bad life". Too true, and I'm so grateful for the advice because it's motivation to keep going. Yeah, I only went to 2 class periods today. Yeah, I cried when I got home. Yeah, I still feel like crap. But tomorrow will be better. It always gets better. I'm living proof that it does get better. Grades aren't everything. High school drama ends. College applications don't define your life. I'm not perfect. No one is, so all we can do is our best. If my B+ in painting is the best I could do, it's the best I could do. End of story. No one can expect more than your best. And remember, even when it seems like you're alone, there's always someone standing right next to you feeling the exact same way. Don't give up.
