I realize now...

How important it is to appreciate life. I know that sounds cliché and trite but I am now just starting to understand the implications of such an idea. Through all of the stress and heartache these past few weeks I forgot to realize there are many things in life I cannot change, nor control; however, I can decide how I respond.

What I discussed in my previous post two days ago (about the futility of being stronger when all it leads to is loneliness) is foolish. I don't have to be alone to be strong because being strong means I have the ability to help those who aren't strong yet.

I guess it's been so easy for me to fall into the depressing and sour mindset that plagues so many people. What is the point of dwelling on problems without making an effort to solve them? There is always a solution. I think it's important to listen carefully to what life is telling you. It may not be audible at first, eventually it will resonate through all of your being.

I have always known there is something more than waiting and accepting mediocrity. I must work and do something.

Right now, in my life I have realized that even if I didn't have a selfish family I would still need to take an action in my life. Perhaps, with my circumstances I have the ability to realize this sooner than most people.

Right now, I hear a call for independence and perseverance. So what must I do to ameliorate my current situation?

1.) Get a job, and manage my money/save for NY!

2.) Listen to the simple things in life.

3.) Appreciate life.

4.) Smile!
