The dumb famous saying "YOLO" is seriously stupid. You don't only live once. You die once. Everyday we wake up we are given a chance to live, all over again. And everyday I wake up and some days are just so much easier. I can wake up feeling the same sting I did when I fell asleep and I can wake up in a mood that could make the devils feet shake. Don't ask me why because I'm not even halfway sure but I know one thing: everyday I wake up I'm given a chance to make the rest of my life the best of my life from that day on. And trust me, I try.
I struggle everyday with what I think happiness should be or what I need to do to be happy when in reality everyone makes their own kind of happy. Some people are perfectly happy living a lie and being miserable and others are perfectly happy doing something about it. Both were me. I forced myself to be "happy" but the fake smile and the sadness in my eyes gave that away. Daily. But there's a catch. I'm not happy now, now that I did something about it. And because "happiness don't drag it's feet, and time moves faster than you think," I'm tired of trying to be happy instead of just BEING THAT!
I have found two quotes that I adore. More than anything so I'll share. I find myself literally able to carry on because of wise words spoken by others. And other friends who always, always know just what to say. There's only a select few of you but let me tell you, you all are my rock. And every bit of my tiny strength I have. Especially that beautiful three year old of mine!
Best always,
Ash
