Smile. Life comes and goes :)

Don't live vicariously.

Life throws unfair curveballs.
Depending on who you are, you may or may not be able to catch them.
I'm not one to catch a curveball.
Actually, I'm not one to catch a ball at all.
I have terrible hand-eye coordination.
I just kinda..see it coming at me...and twitch to the side, as to make sure it doesn't hit and hurt me.
But if I had caught life's curveballs...what kind of person would I be?
Strong?
What kind of strong? Strong and self-centered?
Or strong and empathetic?
Would I even be close to who I am today?

Sometimes I wish I had caught the ball.
But usually, I'm glad I didn't. Because I get to learn from the mistakes that were made. Grow stronger instead of internalizing and pretending I'm stronger.
I'm grateful for the decisions I've made in my life.
And I hope you are too.
Don't regret your decisions.

I know that's kind of...hypocritical of me to say..because of my last post..but I'm glad I did it now.
That guy kind of understands me a bit more now.
Understands that I've been hurt, and I just don't want to be hurt the same way again.

Don't regret.
If you regret, you're not really living.
