Find the Lightening

Life gets hard a lot of times, but that is when you have to fight harder. Giving up is only going to make it worse. Bad things happen that we can't control, and sometimes we don't know why they happen. So many people think that giving up will fix everything, but that only makes it worse. It's not about everything around you being ok; it is about you being ok. You choose how and how much something affects you. I am not saying at all that is something bad happens you shouldn't be sad or mad about it, but you can't let it destroy you. You can't let every terrible thing that happens break you apart. That isn't good for anyone involved. You need to learn how to be ok even when your entire world is falling down around you. I know that sounds very hard, and I'm not going to lie it isn't easy. The important things is that you know that you are never alone and  that you are a lot stronger than you think. You should never doubt yourself or say you can't do it because you can. Yes, it will hurt, and it won't be fun. That doesn't mean that you have to fall completely apart and get torn to pieces over it. You have to keep your head above the water and give it everything you have. Being miserable about your life isn't going to help anything or make you feel any better about the situation. Just remember to breathe and keep your head up. Even in the darkness and horror of a storm lightening is still there to brighten things up. All you have to do is find the lightening. <3
