Keep your head up

Getting Back Up
https://impalpablelife.files.wordpress.com

Okay, now this article is a continuation of my article about God giving us struggles. The emotions and feelings are still fresh in our bodies. Sometimes you may even shed tears, other times you just feel upset and have to get your mind off it. However, now you’re getting back to the real world. It’s time to get up, brush yourself off, and move forward. However, in this article, I’m going to be talking about how to deal with a death of a relative, someone that you know, or someone that you look up.

This is a tough step because now you have to hide your emotions. Putting on a fake smile to hide the pain that lingers. Especially going back to your routine, and getting back to what you do and seeing your friends or coworkers. You start to look for motivation. Whether it’s quotes, pictures, hobbies, or walking in nature.

Again it’s not easy but really you have to live your life and not let this distract you. Okay, distract isn’t the best word, but you have to stay focused on what you’re doing. It’s okay to think about what could have been especially if that person was young and your best friend. It is very difficult, however, this isn’t the end and I know you will see them again. Life is meant to be lived to the fullest and is a precious gift from God. Sometimes things go awry but again God knows what he is doing.

Some people actually do a good job coping with this others do not. There’s nothing wrong with that it’s just how you are. Even though this may seem so bad that it clouds your day, I can guarantee that they are looking over you. Even if it was a relative, they are forever with you through your family. As of now all you can do is remember them and keep them in your thoughts and hearts to help keep their legacy alive.

Life can be very rough, but you have to keep you head up every step of the way. Everything will be fine in the end. Like I said God will always be with us and guiding us through this journey called life. He will never let us down a different path nor will ever steer us wrong. He loves us so much and all we have to do is believe and trust in Him. Especially in times like these, Trust in Him for he knows what’s best for us. As we grow, things change, we may change but God’s love for us will never change.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
