Learning To Accept Where Life Takes You

Life can really just take you about anywhere…

Sometimes we wonder where life can take us. We don’t quite know if it will be good or bad. Life is very difficult, but maybe because we make it hard. The bigger picture of this is to see what life itself can throw at us and understanding why it is happening to us. In reality, anything is possible to really happen whether it is something that we want to happen or not. I guess it's just the process of accepting things of how they are. Although, most of the time, that is exactly where we get stuck on, acceptance. Acceptance is very important to understand; to really acknowledge why we have to learn how to accept things for how they are. Me personally, I am still struggling how to do that, but every day I take it day by day.

Accepting many things is a very hard thing to do. Sometimes you may feel angry or just really upset to the point where you just don’t know what to do. The feeling is very unusual, it keeps bothering you, it’s the only thing you can think about. I feel like it gets to the point where you just look at life like, “why man, why me?” Right? It is okay if that happens, it’s perfectly normal, nothing is wrong with that. But, I guess we can’t always blame things on life, sometimes things are supposed to happen, I quite still don’t know why, but it does.

Life for me is very frustrating, I know that nothing comes easy, although sometimes it’s just luck. I try day by day to be happy and be a better person than who I was the day before. Yes, it is difficult to accept a lot of things in my life just because I don’t deserve it. I don’t mean I don’t deserve it in a bad way, but a good way. A lot of things in my life right now are dealing with things that are hurting me, but I guess this is the process of becoming stronger than ever. The feeling I get is weird, I feel lost and confused. I feel tears running down my warm cheeks as I cry for help and to stop the pain. It’s odd to feel that way but I do. Sometimes, I need someone to help me, someone to guide me and be there every step of the way. I’ve been doing everything all by myself, and now it’s time that I actually need someone to be that motivator. Who knows, only time can tell what is right.

The meaning of life is meaningful and broad; it can just take you about anywhere. Life wouldn’t be so difficult if we learned how to be strong and accept a lot of things. It may take time, but being more aware and patient of it, it can turn into something great. Acceptance is the key to life, and for many of us if can also increase happiness. Life is a journey, but only you can control how to live it.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
