The Unexpected.

It is the things you don’t choose that makes you who you are.

I am a strong person today partly because of genes and mostly because of what I have been through. My parents divorcing 3 years ago, while my mom was newly diagnosed with her breast cancer, was obviously not my choice. My point is that both of those things were out of my control. Here is the problem, I am a control freak. I had control of everything in my life and then all of a sudden my family was falling apart. You know what? As much as it all sucked, I can finally say that I am proud of myself. I have been taking care of my mom the past 2 years and very closely the past year. It made me who I am, and I love who I am.

Life is strange and just when you think everything is going smooth...you hit another bump. BUT its those BUMPS that make you the person you are. The REALITY of it is, we are all going to hit those bumps-some more than others. Whatever it is, those bumps are going to hurt and you are gonna have to get through it. That is what is going to make you and shape you. Basically, expect the unexpected. That is how I look at it. Whatever the issue is, take time to realize it, accept it and move forward.

Bottom-Line: Shitty things are always going to happen, things that you don't choose or want are going to happen, those things will make you who you are. When you look back on them, you want to make sure a diamond came out of the shit. Understood?
