My Heart, My Soul

What lies underneath it all.

My Heart, My Soul

Life is a funny thing, like Forrest Gump once said, "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get." I know that sounds a bit cliché, but it's true when it comes to life in general. We look at people and know nothing about them and automatically assume we know their whole life story, but in reality we know nothing and what's more sad is that sometimes we don't even know ourselves. Our own hearts and our own souls. Who am I? What's my purpose? Did I help? Did I make it worse? Questions like these are something we ask ourselves every day, but the one that sticks out the most is, "Why am I like this?"

Throughout life we tend to go through many bumps on the road. Whether they're permanent bumps or minor bumps, we tend to keep it in our minds for the rest of our lives. Sometimes it feels that there is no hope in this world or any hope in our lives and no matter what's going on at times people tend to shut themselves out of this world and out of their own lives.

Luckily there are people that do care about us and only want the best for us even if we don't feel it or even see it. Life is an everyday struggle especially when you're fighting something you don't even know what it is or something that's a lot stronger than you. No matter what we say to ourselves sometimes it feels that we can't do anything about it. You tend to doubt your own purpose in life and begin to go blind to everything in life.

The struggle of not knowing what'll happen in the next coming days, weeks, months, years, and even hours. It leaves you in a state of alert that you can't even comprehend the pain and the stress it brings to only one human being. Just like they say positiveness can be spread, well so can the negativity be spread.

What is there to do in a time like this? Who can we talk to about this that goes on every day? Can we even call anyone? In our minds there is always a sense of doubt in everything one does and no matter what outcome can come out of it, only the bad is the only outcome. Even when one is wrong and the good tends to shine and bring out the best you come to wonder if it's even all real.

I can't speak for other people I can only speak for myself. I don't know what'll happen in the coming of months or even years, but what I do know that it will be something interesting to find out. The outcome may shock many or maybe just one. It can affect many or maybe just one. At the end of the day only one person will know and can be the only person to spread whatever he or she is feeling.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
