It's quite a known fact that life brings ups and downs. It's an everlasting circle that never fails to repeat itself. But I am a firm believer that all bad is not all bad, and all good has some drawbacks as well. Either way, in the end of each era (good or bad), you will/should always be thankful for everything you have in the end of the day. Bad days are just days that we are being challenged, and good days are just days that we are being rewarded. So maybe the more bad days you seem to be having, just think of all of the good times that are coming your way ^_^.
It's been a rough year. But I don't think I have been this positive about my future in a long time, and it feels so good. And it's bringing me to that point where I feel like that past year has been worth every minute. It was such an emotional roller-coaster and so hard at times, so hard, but I'm making it through it. In the end, it's all that matters. No journeys worth being told were ever journeys of easiness or smooth sailing.
My Dad and I kind of made a pact with each other not too long before he passed away. I think that is a motivation each day. Not only is the thought of doing him proud (or more proud) keeps me motivated. If he was here, I know what he would be saying. Our relationship will never be able to be broken down in simple terms-but we drove each other. Brooke and I drove my dad to become a better father and a better all around person. And he drives me everyday, to not be an ounce less than my full potential. And then a little more on top of that.
As cliche as it is, as much as I have left behind, I have so much more to gain in my endeavors. I'm going to get stomped on, doors shut in my face, and some days I will probably want to be anywhere but where I am. But like I said, it's the good days that really matter, not the bad ones. We should all just keep inspiration around us. I do everyday, I have my pictures of my family, pictures of me and my sister, pictures of my father, and pictures of my goals-Ideas of the future and hopes for what I want to create for myself.
Point of the post? Not 100% sure, but I think I'm just starting to accept NYC as my muse. I am accepting the past, and trying to carve a future for myself.
Tip of the night: Try to remember a song that you once loved. Listen to it and really settle in why you loved it. You might find a side of yourself you have forgotten was there. :)
