My First Post

"You fall, you rise, you make mistakes, you live, and you learn. You're human, not perfect. You've been hurt, but you're alive. Think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, and to chase the things you love. Sometimes there is sadness in our journey, but there is also a lot of beauty. We must keep putting one foot in front of the other even when we hurt, for we will never know what is waiting for us just around the bend." -Unknown

I am not creating this blog for solely one purpose, I am doing it for a list of reasons. If you read something on my blog and find it insightful, if it makes you smile or give you a small chuckle, and if you can take anything away from it and relate it to your own life for the better, then I believe that I have accomplished something.

With all of the troubling things I have gone through in the past five years, I wished I would have been able to stumble upon something like this, just so I wouldn't feel down about whatever it is that was putting me down on that day.

I've been through a lot in the past five years, and I'm going to talk about how I was able to get through everything. I'll share my story, give advice if there is any, and just talk about it in general. At the beginning of each post, I will start with a quote that I feel fits the topic of what I will be talking about.

I really do hope you can find all of this helpful in anyway. Like I said, if I can put a small smile on your face, make you giggle a little bit, or just help you get through the day, then I will have done something worth doing: Making someone else's day just a little bit better.
