Life is such a blessing.

For a really long time I took that for granted. I looked at life as though it were a burden, where all the hardships continuously piled on until I wouldn’t be able to carry them any longer. As if everything that was thrown at me was meant to break me. After a while, I finally realize that all those so-called “troubles” that I let consume my life are mere speed bumps along a long winding path. Cliche, I know, but I can’t help but smile at all the blessings that I’ve been given regardless of how troublesome they may seem. All the heartbreaks, the pain, the stress, it’s all meant to lead up to that ultimate purpose that I will hopefully someday find. 

Life is so beautiful, I feel ashamed that I ever thought otherwise. I am ready to fully embrace it all!
