If there is one thing I have learned in life, it is to not give up. There have been so many times throughout my journey where it would have been soooo much easier to just throw in the towel... wave my white flag. I have been blessed with people who, when I wanted to give up, would not let me. They reminded me of who I am and where I come from.
I may not be the prettiest girl in the world. I don't have a lot to offer. My life is not always beautiful. But everything about me is real. I have never and will never promise to be anything or anyone I'm not.
I have some of the best friends a girl could ever hope to have. I have THE best family anyone could ever ask for. These are the people I choose to surround myself with. These are the people who keep me grounded and in line. They give kindness when needed, and they give a good butt kicking when needed as well. No matter which one the day calls for, they love me at all times.
I have seen people walk in my life, and then turn around and walk right back out. And to them I say "Good riddance." I have had people who have said and done some horrible things to me. To them I say "Thank you." Good riddance and thank you because for all of the darkness and the sadness you brought into my life, I have found ten times the happiness.
The lesson in all of this, is no matter how much darkness and sadness you encounter, don't give up. There is something so much better in store. And that is when you realize that life does not get any better than this.
