LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT Live, Love & Laugh!

Hi friends and readers, I’ve been struggling with a lot of things lately, and I thought maybe writing them down and putting them out in the universe would help heal some emotional wounds and maybe help others who may be struggling, too. I’ve learned a lot over the past few years. Some good things, and some not-so-good things, but I’m sharing them all. The good and the bad. No matter how good you are to some people, they will turn their backs on you. Don’t take it personally. Just keep being good to people but guard your heart a bit. You’re the villain in someone’s story. And that’s ok. Everyone has their truth. Stick to yours and don’t try to defend yourself. Your actions speak much louder than your words ever will. No matter how nice your pictures are, or how important the things you post are… some people just won’t hit the like button. Because it’s you. And the first thing people do when they are feeling a certain way about you, is stop liking anything you post. Post anyway. Share your pictures. And your stories. They put a smile on someone’s face. Not everyone has the same heart as you. (This one I still struggle with on a daily basis.) Just because you will do it for them, doesn’t mean they will do it for you. And it’s unfair to both of you to expect that. You will be excluded. And it will hurt. A lot. You’ll never understand why. But you will remember the pain of being left out, and you will make sure to include everyone, so no one has to feel the way that you did. Your kids (or future kids) will be excluded. And trust me, that hurts even more. But it’s a great teachable opportunity.
