unfortunately things in my life right now (okay.. year 2012 in general) is not being very rainbows, butterflies and unicorns (can you imagine if it were??!).. if you were wondering how many times this 'Kristen' girl can get beaten down on her luck.. well.. its hundreds of times.. involving ALL areas in her life.
(one of the reasons I started this blog in fact
is to have me continue to look at the things in a
positive, funny light)
but.. it seems as though not many are wanting to do this whole 'hug it out and be happy' way of life... instead its lots of pushing Kristen to the ground and kicking her, leaving lots of bumps and bruises (especially on her heart)
as Kristen was telling Aryk yesterday
"Its like if one thing in my life was going wrong it would be like one gun shot to the heart... which most people could handle just fine and end up surviving to tell the tale. But when someone gets shot more than once.. they are experiencing LOTS more blood loss, and have many spots they have to pay attention to on putting pressure on that wound, and its very difficult to 'hang in there'"
BE STRONG KRISTEN
HANG IN THERE KRISTEN
2012 IS ALMOST DONE KRISTEN
you should go travelling again Kristen..
just when you spend a little to much time
(as in any time at all)
sulking, and self put downs, pouting.. all those lame things..
you open your email to get a simple email from your Uncle with this photograph
and its like all these sucky things aren't that sucky anymore.. cause even though all these things SUCK and your down on your lows... someone is thinking of you... and someone is out there wanting you to smile.. without any kind of acknowledgement that you are at that current moment BEFORE the email NOT smiling.
as a reminder.. that I always try to remind myself... WE
(as in everybody)
have not a clue what is going on in peoples lives...
so we must treat everyone with love and bring them happiness in their lives.
Friendly smiles, holding doors open... it just causes peoples hearts to feel a little lighter. seriously.. its like hugging it out and being happy. WITHOUT frightening a random stranger that you are randomly hugging them..
you know.. same same but different?
