Still I Rise

You may shoot me with your words,

You may cut me with your eyes,

You may kill me with your hatefulness,

But still, like air, I'll rise.

-Maya Angelou

 

 

This poem... It is inspiring. No matter what happens in our lives we cannot let others control them by what they say or do to us. We cannot let anyone or anything get in the way of our dreams. They are are dreams, it is our own life, it is ours to live. Even if someone is trying to protect us from choices we might make we need to find out for ourselves with the consequences whether it was good or bad. That is how we learn. That is how we grow. Even if people try to cut you down and tell you, you can't, that is when you stand and say "Wanna bet? Because I can. Watch me." That is the power of "I". There is only sometimes "We", but there is always "I". It's your life. It's your choice. Don't let other people's opinions of you change your opinion of yourself.

My Rollercoster Ride

Guys, life is truly a rollercoster ride. At times your high and enjoying life other times you are dropping down at a very scarry height wishing for the ride to be over. But there is always that guardrail that catches you at the bottom when I don't want to go any further then it lifts you back up. This goes on for a while until the ride is finally over and you get to return home.

My weekend started out as a high ride rollercoster, then last night it suddenly turned to a steep down hill.

You know that moment when you relize that you have royally screwed up and you just wish a sorry could fix it and everything would be back to normal? Well life is no fairytale. That's not how it works. When you hurt someone they tend to be very defensive and not so forgiving...

Because of my blindness have put my relationship with my best friend on the line, and it hurts. It hurts the both of us. I want to fix it, but I have no idea how to do that. The last 12 hours has basically been on and off crying for me *wipes away tears* I can't loose my best friend for something stupid that I did and I am still trying to figure out how to fix this.

This is one of those things that makes it so you can't focus on anything. You just want to curl up and cry, so instead you just sit there half the day staring into space not thinking about a thing because you are upset and don't know what to do.

This has been my day so far.

So how are you? Better than me I hope.

XOXO,
Rebecca
