"Often the deepest pain which empowers you to grow into your highest self."
Out there sits a girl I know, she may be alot like you or someone you know. She's one of those girls that would do anything for a friend. She's the one that you can always count on - lean on and know will be there. She's got a smile on her face and a skip in her step. She choses to see the best in people even when they have shown her the worse. She believes in doing whats right not just when its easy but esp when its hard. She has a grace about her a calming grace that rubs off on you.You may think she's got it made but if you know her story you realize its all in her attitude. Things in her life have not been easy to say the least a better way to say it is she's been thru hell and back again not once but twice and maybe a third time. She has every reason to be cold to others to think the very worse of what life will bring to her. But she doesn't. During all those moments when she could have given up. Could have throw herself a pity party she chose a different route. She simple decided that she could be tougher. She knows the balance of life and how in order to know true joy she must endure true sorrow. She is wise beyond her years yet has not a clue about that wisdom...She is still well simply her - who she has always been. She may be covered in scars and is still healing from some but to me those scars bring her beauty. For each scar there was once a wound and with time it healed and add to her life. her story. To me she is more from those scars. those lessons. those tears. those losses. those heartbreaks. those rock bottom moments. Each and every day she makes me proud to have someone that fights for the best that life has to offer even thou she has been dealt more than her fair share of the worse stuff.
Life has once again punched her hard in the gut and sucked the wind right out of her lungs but I know she is capable of rising once again. She will be broken open and will grow from this time and become MORE....all in her own time grace and style. What I am thankful for is she knows this isn't the worse hell she has had to walk thru...but then again hell has all sorts of levels. Yet I am certain she will take this pain and let it empower her and grow into a higher self....all along making me proud of how she will embark on such a journey. Because of people like her I know they were put on this earth to teach us not by the words they speak but by the actions on they live their life. For she is deteremined not to be lessen or defined by the rock bottom moments life has brought her. She is the master of who and how she becomes. No one but SHE has that power over her life.
"I am not what has happened to me. I am what I choose to become."
"More than anything I want to trust in a journey that I don't understand."
"I write entirely to find out what I am thinking & feeling, what I am looking at, what I see and what it means. What I want and what I fear."
"Loving you changed my life. It should come as no surprise that losing you has done the same."
"I am living proof that a shattered heart can still beat.:

- "Life lies in the JOURNEY not the Destination." Everyday I awake to embrace the day I have been given. Thru times of struggle and in happiness--I find reasons each and everyday to LOVEthisLIFE.
Every story is one to be heard....
"You have been given the chance to live, so LIVE."
"Your soul knows the geography of your destiny. Your soul alone has the map of your future. Therefore, you can trust this indirect, oblique side of yourself. If you do, it will take you where you need to go. But more importantly it will teach you a kindness of rhythm in your journey."
"Those who love you are not fooled by mistakes you have made or dark images you hold about yourself. They remember your beauty when you feel ugly, your wholeness when you are broken, your innocence when you feel guilty and your purpose when you are confused."
"I may not have gone where I intended to go - but I believe I have ended up where I needed to be."
"When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down 'happy.' They told me - I didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life."
"If you cry because the sun has gone out of your life, your tears will prevent you from seeing the stars."
"Some people just live life in a way that well seems against the grain - never taking the paved way the easy way never living to the checklist of life...but maybe just maybe they are seeking a little bit more from life."
"All of your life is about growing into your personal best...all of your life is about growing into greatness."
"When something bad happens, you have three choices...you can either let it define you, let it destroy you OR you can let it strengthen you."
"I ask not for a lighter burden, but for broader shoulders."
"Do one thing everyday that scares the complete shit out of you."
"Try to be like a turlte, at ease in your own shell."
"There is a great mystery that none of us will get until that last breath and EVERYTHING will become VERY CLEAR."
"There is something beautiful about all scars of whatever nature. A scar means the hurt is over, the wound is closed and healed, done with."
"Overcome the notion that you must be regular it robs you of the chance to be extraordinary."
"Too much has been given much is required. You must do something for the greater good to show your gratefulness for the blessings in your life."
"The CHALLENGE of my LIFE is to see how far I can take it."
"There are things that we don't want to happen but have to accept, things we don't want to know but have to learn, and people we can't live without but have to let go."
Never ask, "What reason do I have to be happy?" Instead ask, "To what purpose can I attach my happiness?"
"Maybe mistakes are what makes our fate - without them what would shape our lives? Maybe if we never veered off course we wouldn't be who we are now."
"The turning point in the process of growing up is when you discover the core of strength within you that survives all hurt."
"Michelangelo said the best way to judge the essential elements of a sculpture is to throw it down a hill and the unimportant pieces will breake away. Sometimes life is like that. It tosses us down a hill. But when we reach the bottom and only the important things are left, that's when our vision clears. That's when we hold on tight to what we know, while hope stirs inside us. It's all a matter of perspective."
"Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm but to add color to my sunset sky."
"Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces - I would still plant my apple tree."
"Turn your wounds into wisdom and your mess into your message."
"Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness."
"Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek & find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it."
"Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared."
"It is impossible to win the race unless you venture to run, impossible to win the victory unless you dare to battle."
"The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance, the wise grows it under his feet."
"When you find the way others will find you. Passing by on the road they will be drawn to your door. The way that cannot be heard will be echoed in your voice. The way that cannot be seen will be reflected in your eyes." -Choose your own journey even if it means taking a path no one ever has.
"The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer anwsers."
