I'm sure I'm not the first person that's told you that life will throw curve balls at you. It will throw them at you left and right when you think you can't handle anything else. Heres the thing, people will always say "God will never give you any more than you can handle."

That statement is wrong.

God most certainly will give you more than you can handle. That's how you get stronger.

It's okay to scream. It's okay to cry. It's okay to watch your life fall apart and not know what to do. Everything about that is normal.

When you feel like you can't take anything else, life will throw something at you so hard that it will knock you on the ground. Now listen to this next part carefully. It's very important. Don't stop fighting. Run to your best friend, your roommate, your group of friends, do whatever you have to do. Scream to the world, find someone to talk to. But do NOT go into your dark place. Don't go into the place that makes you a different person. I don't care what happens, do NOT go to the place where you shut out the people that care about you. That place is a danger zone. That place will ruin the way you see the world.

I don't care if the thought of talking to people kills you. Go and find someone and talk to them. You might even find out that they are going through the exact same thing as you. You might find out that they've already been through it. Don't let the world change you.

Don't let life change you. Don't let the bad things about life ruin you. God will give you more than you can handle because he wants you to be stronger than ever before. He wants you to know that you will be more and that you CAN be more.
