So, for those of you who check my blog (which according to blogger, is a lot of you), I kinda fell off the face of the earth for a bit. No worries, I didn't break any bones or anything (surprisingly). I just took some time away to think, and I had some interesting epiphanies.
I find that when things go wrong, we never want to ask for help and admit defeat. We hide ourselves away in denial. We hope that things will change without ever asking for help. It's an interesting theory, to hide away the pain and the things that go wrong in your life. As hard as it is, I think that we are intrinsically programmed to be relational. Whether things are good or bad, we desire to be with other people and share our lives with them.
Sometimes just spending time with a person, regardless of what happens, can fix it all. It's the idea that you aren't alone. For all the times you think you are alone and things are wrong, there is a group of people there waiting to help you get through whatever it may be. There are times when there is no way to deny that the world may seem dark and distraught.
It's one thing to recognize the world is dark and distraught, but another to get through it. When you find the strength to push through the difficulty is when the true change happens. The events may still be poor and not in your favor, but you have to realize how much better things will get.
Let's be honest. Life sucks. You fail a class. You get dumped. Your best friend gets cancer. Your health falls apart. Your family falls apart. The list is endless of the things that can go wrong, and amidst that list, any possibility of anything that could go right seems bleak and menial. There's a reason we all have to go through the worst possible thing. We learn from it, and we become stronger.
When life gets ya down, have a burrito and take a nap, and wake up to realize it's gonna be okay. If you can pick your head up and walk through, you will see a better day. Let hope inspire you to move through difficulty. Let your inhibitions fall away to do the courageous things that help you through difficulty.
"Life is beautiful, but it's complicated. We don't need to understand there are miracles."
