To Give Up On Oneselves

Why is it we believe we won't make it?

Why is that so? Why do we give up? Why do we doubt ourselves? Why is it we believe we won't make it?

We either put ourselves on an unknown path not knowing where we are going but we have a designated ending, or we put ourselves in a path we know where we will go.

Regardless of either path, we have gone through many setbacks, if not we are going to go through them.

We fight tooth and nail to get to where we are going and we don't go through one battle, nothing ever comes so easily. It is because of this there are moments in our life that makes us question, that makes us lost in our thoughts. The question and thoughts that we seem to have is;

What do I really want?

Why am I doing this?

Can I really do this?

Is this all worth it?

It's too hard.

Is this really it.

My grades aren't good enough.

In our defense we work as hard as we could, we stay up all night and even all morning. We create flash cards, we create study guides and we go over them not once but many times. Our teachers believe that we have potential, they love it when we participate in class. Yet when we take quizzes or even test, the results we get back are less than satisfactory. Then our positive moods take a sudden halt. And we are left with self doubting thoughts. Questioning the paths we've decided on taking.

In a movie I always love to watch it spoke on two things that were very meaning full that couldn't be more true in a situation like this was, the first thing is that we simply can not quite. We live in difficult paths and choices we have to make are not simple. Our whole life revolves around what we choose to do. Yes we can cry and we can wallow in misery and say how unfair it is. However where will that take us, it won't change anything. In life before we get to the good unfortunately we go through hell before we ever get there. In the movie that I saw the girl he entires a completely different word, she was an outsider just trying to make a living and her transition to this everyday life wasn't easy. She tried to everything in her power to make things right, but it wasn't happening. And when she confideing in someone they told her you can quite, if you don't like it quite, its on you. In order words we are giving in too easily, why not rethink it, look for other ways to get over the difficult task. So many others wish they could be in you place, why not give it your all, no matter how difficult it is. A statement that was said in the movie was that, "Let me know when your whole life goes up in smoke. That means it's time for a promotion." As we continued with our path, and the closer to what we are meant to be the difficulty meter rises up, yet it means that what we want and crave is so much closer.

What I'm here to tell you what happens right now should not prevent you from continuing on, only reflect what had occurred.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
