Life's A Climb

This morning I woke up more thrilled then I have been in three weeks, because today I’m allowed to go see my friends, my doctor finally gave me permission. Sorry if today's post is a little shorter than usual. I also remembered that I had one of my favorite movies recorded The Hanna Montana Movie, now I know it’s childish but it has a great message. Repeatedly throughout the movie they say ‘life’s a climb, but the views great’. With my last posts being kind of ‘deep’ I thought this really touched base. I know that I have been in that situation when I wonder ‘why is this happen to me?’; I know I’ve yelled at myself for making a simple mistake, or for not being good enough. I know I’ve been in a dark place before and I’ve thought there was no way out, thought it would never getting better. I would put a smile on and didn't let anybody see my pain. Looking back it was so wrong to keep it in, to hide it away. It caused more misery to keep it all in. Sometimes I still have those bad days and lock myself in my room, and I hide in my corner. Then I tell myself to get back up, to keep fighting that battle, to shine through the pain, to talk to someone, even a simple hug on a bad day can change everything.

 If you’re there and you feel like you have lost your way take a second to breath, then take your hand and put it on your chest. Feel that pounding that purpose. Life is cruel it will put you in hard situations and throw obstacles at you, fast and hard. It wants to see if you will fall down and not get up. To crumble under it. Beyond that life wants to see you fight back it wasn't to see your strengths, your capability's. As soon as you defeat that first challenge, life starts to get worried it knows that you can beat it, that you are strong. So it throws more things at you and she (life) knows you can overcome them. She just hopes you don’t figure it out. So thats precisely what you have to do, you have to know that you are stronger then what’s being thrown at you. Think that you’re on a roller costar that spins and whirls and has drops, an there is the part where the costar is going up before the drop, and the moment when you feel you’re flying, your also wiped side to side, nerveless at the end of the ride you are always brought back to level ground, to a safe place.

Life doesn’t only want to challenge you. Its and opportunity, dream, duty, game, promise, sorrow, song, struggle, tragedy, luck, a beauty and something to fight for. ‘Life’s a climb, but the view is great.’

 

-Today I have two quotes for you-

“At the end of the day when I crawl into bed and all the lights go out my thoughts can finally rise to the surface. Ya I'm a little bruised, slightly broken, and permanently scarred but i'm still here aren't I? I'm still fighting, I'm still waking up everyday to go through it all over again. This life may be hard as hell but it's still a gift and i'm going to live every moment of it”

“You can never tell what people are thinking and feeling unless they tell you, and usually they lie. you ask them, "what’s wrong?" and they say "Nothing." You accept this because its easier than digging for the truth. People smile when they want to cry, they laugh when they want to scream and shout. They pretend like nothing is wrong because they don’t want to face the truth. Things aren't always rainbows and butterflies, sometimes you gotta scream and cry your angers and sadness to the world, because you can only hold it in for so long before something in you snaps. So when you want to cry, cry. When you want to scream, scream. Don’t hide behind fake smiles, its ok to not be alright.
