Accepting the failures:

It’s no newsflash that life has its ups and downs. As we age we realize that there are glorious moments where we feel as if we are on top of the world. On the contrary, there are also moments that knock us down so low that we feel as if we can’t get up. Truth is, you can and you will.

With every heartache or tragedy, I still can see a new beginning – even throughout the darkest clouds, I know this storm will come to an end. My head spins wondering why the catastrophic events pour into my life at such a young age. The storm has not yet stopped. As I Wonder what the rhyme or reason for this pain that lingers throughout my mind. I can only hope that it gets better. In life, you get what you give so I figure if I keep pushing through this mess I will soon create this unbreakable strength that will guide me through the rest of my years. One day, I firmly believe I will be unstoppable. I have found that life can be over in an instant. With that being said, why live in fear? My twenties should be full of laughter, love and finding my true self. No matter how many times I fail in golf, relationships, or just mental struggles a lesson is learned with each tear that streams down my face. I am known to be a quite emotional person but I am okay with that. I accept myself for who I am. I thank my mother for teaching me to love myself and enjoy my life. She taught me that no matter what bumpy road I come across I will get through it. I am saddened that she got to see only the beginning true self-love conquest but I know she is watching over me and she is proud. I’m going to live my legacy through the grace that she gave each day.

Thankfully, I am not in this alone. I have met so many amazing people that have taught me numerous ways to look at life.

Smile more, believe in yourself and believe that you are worth it – your life is worth it. You owe yourself the chance to live the best you possibly can. Remember that any situation could always be much worse. Embrace the sunshine that glistens off your beautiful face. Or the crisp air that your lungs take in with each breath. Most importantly, you are not alone.

The truth is, life goes on.

I hope whatever storm you are battling through that it leaves you with the happiest of days.
