Recovery is a funny thing.
Some people never quite get over the bad things that happen to them. They let it eat at them year after year as they slowly transform into a completely different being. They get to the point where they don't even recognize themselves, and then it's over. Yes, I guess sometimes people are brought back to their original selves, but usually they just stay bitter, hopeless and lost.
After pondering the idea of losing ones humanity, I must say it sounds awful.
Why not take the good, the bad, and everything in between and use those ingredients to bake up a completely new and more fantastic life? I've had my fair share of tragedies, as we all have. It's nothing new to find out something about someone that makes you feel sorry for them, if even for a moment. But why can't more people make it through the storm and realize that these trials and tribulations were more of a mold. These horrid things were shaping us into the people we are suppose to become. And instead of embracing this fact, most people give up halfway through and come out of the storm half-molded, if you will. They then have an outlook on life that resembles Quasimodo when it should look something like...I don't know...Hercules. Ok yes, maybe I did just reference a few Disney movies, but honestly are you following me?
All i'm ranting about is positivity. Faith. Compassion. Things that we gain from these bad experiences, if we let ourselves. If not, then it's more along the lines of negativity, hopelessness, and spitefulness.
I've seen my life change before my eyes. In 7 years (yes, lucky number 7) I have seen things go from my sense of "normal" to horrible to okay to simply amazing! It's not because I won the lottery or married Fabio or anything spectacular like that. It's because I started doing things that were...wait for it...GOOD for me. I take care of myself and I have learned to love others and trust that no matter what is thrown my way I can handle it and make it through. A little faith goes a long way. It's a good thing too, because It took so long for me to get in a "good" place in my life that I feel like time is running out to enjoy it. This is a good thing, despite what you may think, because I make and effort to enjoy everything I do, which in turn makes life more grand, fulfilling and all of those other wonderful adjectives I like to use to get my point across.
So please, remember, life is not going to wait for you. Take the good with the bad, and run like hell with it. Enjoy each moment and start living today.
