the epiphany

It’s that time of night where I become excessively loopy because I’ve been awake for to long.

true story. really sick, about to pass out from nyquil. sorry, no blog today.

miracles (unexplainable events cont.)

“from time to time you hear about things that are out of the norm, other worldly and just impossible…completely unexplainable. and sometimes these things hit closer to come, a when these things are thrown at you and the people around you, things become hard and you freeze.” sometimes things happen that are just unexplainable. sometimes things take a drastic turn for the worst. and sometimes these things go from as bad as it can possibly get, to better than anyone could ever imagine.

and so where do you turn for thanks? to a higher power? to the people around you? to yourself? how do you appreciate the gift of a miracle when its wrapped with a pretty red bow and placed right in front of you for the taking?

do you seize the opportunity of realizing the beauty of life and its miracles or do you just ignore it and hope for more to come?

yesterday i posted about my friend who got fell ill very quickly. today, however, i am happy to report that they are in much better condition. doctors predicted that they would not wake up from a coma, and if they did it wouldn’t be anytime soon, but my friend proved everyone wrong by waking up and even speaking a little today. if this isn’t a sign of hope or to keep hope and faith in someone or something i don’t know what is. so thank you all for your thoughts<3

unexplainable events

from time to time you hear about things that are out of the norm, other worldly and just impossible…completely unexplainable. and sometimes these things hit closer to come, a when these things are thrown at you and the people around you, things become hard and you freeze. life becomes hard to cope with, hard to swallow. and where do you turn? what do you rely on?

some choose religion without even a second thought, others don’t believe in religion and rely on people, and some people shut themselves off completely and wait things out. but what would you do? where would you turn?

with this post i ask you to keep a friend of mine who i pretty much grew up with in your thoughts. they attended the giants game yesterday and are currently in a coma after having a seizure and suffering five cardiac arrests. i’m not positive on the whole situation, but i know that it is serious. so please, please, keep this person in your thoughts for me.<3

also, you probably noticed that i did not post anything over the weekend. i plan not to write on the weekends because i like to spend my free time free. so for future reference, there will be no weekend posts.

life and death

everyday we throw around the terms of life and death loosely, almost as if the two tragedies are items that you can purchase. i consider them both tragedies because one typically wastes their life not living. they spend it following trends, ideas, and lifestyles that they deem acceptable because they are more appealing to others.

and death is a tragedy because it is the life that is being taken so that one can realize the true meaning of living. it’s a heavy cross to carry, think about it. hearing that one is ill, injured, is dying, or is passing/has passed leads you to think “wow, that’s so sad” or “they were such a good person”…but what makes death so sad? the fact that they got cheated out of living by a code or are missing out on discovering what it means to live for themselves? maybe it’s so sad that it took death to make you yourself realize that life is more than living, that life is a gift that you need to make the most out of every single day that you are granted the opportunity to do so.

and so life and death leave most people with miserable feelings, but instead of dwelling on them, focus on the true purpose of living and the power of living for yourself. live so that if you were the person that had to die to teach someone to live, they would want to live their lives just as fully and inspirationally as you did.

learning

due to lack of energy and hours of homework, i have come to realize one thing today;

99.9% of what you learn in school will not be applicable to your everyday life in the future. what IS applicable, however, the knowledge you obtain from life lessons. the knowledge to gain from your mistakes, the mistakes of others, and just from living every second of your life is far more valuable to knowing complex math equations or in depth information about science.

life is full of little surprises that are behind each door that you open. so open doors and focus on what you can learn from attempting to open these doors. and if they’re locked or jammed or just not opening, find ways to open them and learn from that, just learn to find another door to open. book knowledge will only get you so far, however the knowledge of life will always take you much farther.

the epiphany; a journey

today i embark on a journey that may seem small to some, but rather large to others.

for the next 360 days, a year, i will post something that has been learned each day. each post should follow the theme of a life lesson, these lessons should help me and hopefully some other people discover themselves. also, these posts should enlighten others to a deeper thought process and a reflection process.

i invite you on this journey with me and i encourage feedback and you to partake in this experiment with me.

here goes nothing..
