Coming Back Stronger

Ok, so I've been away for a good minute. But, that's because school was kicking my butt forwards and backwards. In that span of time, I finished my first semester of college, and 2012 has come and gone. It's 2013. Geez, time goes by so fast. This year I will be turning 19 years old. It seems like yesterday I was just starting high school (thank God that's over). Now I'm on my way to becoming a full-fledged adult. Not even gonna lie, its a little scary. But I think I can handle it.

2012 was an up and down year for me, but I think I came out as a better person on the other side because of it. It's a new year, and I know people like to make resolutions and promises they never keep, but I do have a resolution for the new year. It's a simple one. I really just want to try to be a better person. A better sister, a better daughter, a better friend, a better student. That's it. Nothing else.

I'd like to think that because of all the adversity of 2012, 2013 is just gonna be that year for me to bounce back and get my self together. Coming back stronger than ever. It's true. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. And I can handle whatever life throws at me just as long as I never give up. Sometimes you just gotta weather the storm so you can see the rainbow on the other side. In other words, sometimes you gotta go through some stuff in order to get to the good stuff in life.

Everything happens for a reason.

I struggle with that one sentence so much. Sometimes, things happen and you're just wondering why, but everything happens for a reason even if you don't understand the reason. You may never know why, just know that that thing that happened had to happen. It's what I tell myself when things are rough. You just gotta get through it. And when it's all said and done, you'll be a stronger person after it all. Trust me, I know this.
