Well, the last 4 years have flown by and it’s here- happy FIFA World Cup! Here is a sport that means so much to so many people. Whether you’re watching to root for your country and team, or whether you’re watching just for the experience… Enjoy it. Enjoy the moments of joy it brings to people and those around them. Because it’s not “just a game” for some people…. ITS THE FREAKIN WORLD CUP!
Happy games, and good luck!
This weekend I attended a baby shower. A shower for a mother who is already doing everything on her own. As sad as that sounds, in today’s world, that’s very common. And I’m not saying dad’s are never around and women have to do it all alone. Because sometimes it’s the opposite; some women don’t want to be mothers when the baby is finally here. Anyway, as I watched her glow in her happiness, I realized that even though it’s hard as a single parent, it seems like it’s double the reward and happiness. As a single parent, you get double the love, double the attention, and double the strength. Sure, there are going to be times you wish you had someone to help you, someone to take turns with changing the dirty diapers, and the crying; But, at the end of the day, as you sit there and reflect how much love and happiness being a parent brings you, you’re going to thank that other person for not being around. This chapter in your life has brought you more strength, more happiness, more wisdom, and more love. So to those who are struggling, or those who know someone who is struggling with being a single parent, rub some dirt in it, chin up, stay strong, and cherish the moments… because this is the greatest gift you’ll ever receive.
Love everything. Love your life, love yourself, love your surroundings, love it all. Do whatever it is that you want to do in life, and love it. There is no one who is going to stop you and tell you that you can’t. And if there is someone that will do that to you, then you need to reevaluate who you associate yourself with. Be around people that are going to make you want to do and be a better person. Love these people and love yourself for who you are. I’ve realized that life is short, and you shouldn’t sit around and hate the things in your life and be bitter about how your life is heading, because whether you believe it or not you can change it and make it better. For me, I live everyday happy. I have a loving family, a loving support system, and I love what I do and who I am and I’m thankful for the people that have influenced and pushed me in life- allowing me to be where I am today. I know now that at any moment we could be taken from where we are in life, so I want my life here on Earth to be all I’ve ever dreamed of and more.
I’d just like to take a moment and thank anyone who has ever influenced me; by doing good and even the bad. Sometimes, it takes a sh*tty situation to make us wake up and realize that we want better for ourselves. So, thank you to everyone…. I am who I am and I love it, and so should you.
