Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same"
Okay, when I start pulling lyrics from songs by The Fray, I need to get my life together...
I'm such a child. I really am. It's funny to say that, because in so many ways, I think I'm an adult, but I'm clearly not. Yes, I am 22, carry a horizontal license and hold a bachelor's degree...but I'm still so immature. Well, maybe not immature, but certainly inexperienced. Not only that, but it seems I haven't gotten over that fact that there are other people in the world with bigger problems than my little, petty ones. Some things that are way too scary for me to face. When I think of it like that, I actually feel like a selfish brat. I wouldn't say my life has been perfect or easy, but I would say I've been pretty lucky. So far, I haven't had to face anything I couldn't handle. So, since I'm not dead, I guess all those things have made me stronger.
B-T-Dubs--I love that phrase: What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I like it because I really think it holds pretty true. Every little thing that happens to you helps give you experience and shapes your character. Even if you are physically injured, you become mentally and emotionally stronger. For some reason, I can't get Lt. Dan's image out of my mind, which is really making me want to watch Forrest Gump, but that's another subject in and of itself.
Anyway, I'm getting tired and should really go to bed and think about things other than myself. Goodnight!
