Happy Days

You see it everywhere. You have probably even experienced it to some degree. The kind of sadness that leaves you emotionless, speechless, thoughtless. I have had two very prominent experiences with this. They weren't easy, but they were essential. I was in a time of my life where life was easy and the going was good. But the tables turned and I was stuck in the bottomless pit of self-pity. You want to know how I got out? I climbed. I literally took each day as it was, the good, the bad, the ugly. I learned from my mistakes, taught myself to love, to fight, to see the light. But let's look at the bigger picture. You would honestly be surprised who was fighting a similar fight. The people we see and judge can be the person you can come to trust the most. I have learned not to judge, because I am not perfect myself. I have found that with this outlook, I have come to know many people and have learned so much more about others and myself. I am happy. I have found gratitude in the happy days, and I have found gratitude in the bad. Maybe not that same day, but eventually. Seeking gratitude in experiences will make you happier. Be thankful for the bad days, for they will  soon become happy days. Stay strong and much love.
