Life is an interesting thing.
Honest! Just when you don't expect it, Life throws you something that reminds you just how unique and precious life is. And I don't just say this after that shooting at Sandy Hooks, or the bombings in Boston or after reading an article about a soul survivor of a plane crash back in '87 finally speaks about it 25 years later. Because I don't need the horror stories or miracles to remind me about how precious life is. I see it every day when talking to my Wookiee as we plan our wedding. I see it every night when I feel the prayers from my sweet daughter-to-be as she prepares for bed over 1,000 miles away. I see it every week when I go to church and spend time with my nursery kiddos. But at the same time, Life is so complicated. You can't plan it perfectly. If my perfect life plan had went according to my plan, I would be done with school, working freelance, married and expecting baby number two. But no, I had some growing up to do. I didn't know it, but God did.
But at the same time, I'm thankful that I did wait. I have the most amazing fiance in the world who surprises me everyday with just being him. Long distance or not, he makes sure that I am taken care of and obeying rule #1 (Don't die!). I have a gorgeous little girl who is smarter than her years, and reminds me of myself when I was little.
Life is dance, but you have to learn as you go through the motion (and yes, it's also lyrics to a old country song!) you are going to stumble in this journey, some you may be able to get up with no problems, no scars. Others, you may fall and get hurt and have to do some learning and healing to come back from. But every once in a while, you may fall, but you'll quickly get back up, throw your hands in the air and say, "I'm okay!"
I'm learning, every so slowly, that you have to fight for what you want. It's never going to be just handed to you. I've been fighting through some personal things, some things for much longer than I really want to fight for them. But the good things, the most precious things in life are worth this fight. I've learned, and continue to learn, that people are going to disappoint you, hurt your feelings, or just down right piss you off. This is the nature of the human race. It sucks, I know. Oh, trust me, I know. My Wookiee gets to listen to me complain about it on almost a weekly basis. (sorry babe)
My point being my humble subjects, life is hard. But if you believe like I do, though I expect you to believe what you feel is right, we are here in this life for a test. Some of us just are being tested harder than others because God gives his hardest battles to his strongest soldiers. You are stronger than you think, braver than you know, and truer than anyone you will ever meet. You just need to accept that you are you and life is life.
Good night my humble subjects. I hope this helps you as much as it has helped me.
