Life likes to throw curve balls. Each person has a different curve ball that brings them to "that edge." Everyone has different struggles and different problems that causes them stress and heartache. Everyone experiences things differently and handles situations differently. I recently re-watched Season 3 Episode 14 of Glee, and something hit me a little harder this time. This particular episode is filled with a little more grief than most episodes. At one point, Mr. Schuester asks his class what they're looking forward to in life. He reminds everyone that they all have different breaking points. So true.
But it made me think, what am I looking forward to? What do I want my future to look like? And I felt reassured that things are always looking up. There is a career out there that I'm going to love. A family of my own to start. A house to build. Just because things get tough, doesn't mean that our future will look any different or unhappy. Your life will be what you make it. There are always things to look forward to. Use that light to get you through your darkness. Think of the family you'll have, or the fourteen different dogs you'll own. Dream about the career you want and then go chase it. Life feels like it sucks sometimes, but that doesn't mean that it can't rock too.
Find what you're looking forward to, and then keep looking at it. Happy, sad, frustrated, confused, look to that. Let it keep you going.
