Just wanted to put down some random thoughts I have collected from many sleepless nights.
I have been contemplating life a lot these past few months and have come up with some astonishing conclusions (at least they are astonishing to me).
Life is hard! It wasn't that I ever thought that it was easy - you just don't realize how hard it can get when faced with a crisis, situation, or life changing experience - whether it be at work, with your partner, your friends, or even family. I think that generally, life really sucks sometimes.
There is always so much going on around us in crisis times that we sometimes forget to think about ourselves - we put on a happy face, and get on with life...no one around you really wants to see that you are miserable or unhappy. Which brings me to my first real conclusion about life - how often do we simply do as is expected of us in order to maintain harmony among those around us? I think we do it more often than we would like to think. No one wants to disrupt peoples lives, unknowingly hurt others, or even just change the routine/habit/comfort we have established. Change is difficult...and getting to the point of understanding that change isn't that horrible (it may in fact be better for yourself), is a hard place to get to.
Sacrificing seems to be the ideal choice on the surface...however sacrificing your happiness and enjoyment for others - FOREVER - is generally not a good idea (at least I think so). Sometimes we need to be selfish. Sometimes we need to take a hard look at ourselves and determine what is really going to make us happy in life, and then try to get there no matter how difficult. Because, at the end of the day, week, month, year, life, YOU are the one that has to look yourself in the mirror and ask yourself "Was I truly happy?"
Some interesting life lessons:
1. Be careful who you trust
2. Always be true to yourself no matter what
3. Never regret. What's done is done. Grow & learn
4. Lying hurts others and yourself
5. Life sucks! Sometimes.
