Why Me?

A question we’ve all asked ourselves before

Why Me?

Why me? A question we all ask ourselves way too often. Whether it's a bad hair day, a tragedy in the family, or anything else that doesn't go the way we foresee it to go, we ask ourselves, why me? It could be the slightest mishap, or the biggest thing to ever impact your life that makes you ask your self those two little words. The thing is, we ask ourself the question, but how many times have you actually ever attempted to answer it? I think I can speak for most of us when I say the question often is drawn at a blank. I am going to take a shot at an answer for a change, though. I believe we are challenged with the mishaps in life for a certain reason, whether we like it or not. If you've ever noticed, each thing that happens to you in life is unique. It may be similar to something in someone else's life, but the situation never contains the exact same elements. I've came to the conclusion that we are faced with these situations because we are the only ones who can conquer them. We all have the capability to overcome the rough patches in life no matter how small, or how large they may be. Times get tough, they wear on us after awhile, but something can only last for so long. We are stronger than we think. We wouldn't be faced with things that god didn't know we could handle. We are surrounded by people who love and care for us and who can help us get through struggles. We just have to try and not give up. So next time something happens, anything, and you ask yourself why me? Remember, it's because you are the one who can push through in that given instance. Don't give up.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."
