Facts of Life

Life is not easy, life is not fair. We can't always control what happens and we can't always know what is to come. I sit here day after day looking at facebook, seeing how people try to scream out through they're actions how much they dislike the world. Well not to sound like a jerk...but guess what. Life. Isn't. Fair. It rains on the just and the unjust alike. Yeah, the world is sinking into the gutter. Yeah, people die everyday. And yeah this country is becoming a twisted place to be but what do we have to be happy about? Don't we have friends who are there for us? Don't we have family who love us? Don't we have a place to sleep? And don't we have food? I know not everyone has the most perfect life, not everyone is healthy and happy, but why don't you sit down and look at what you have to be happy about. Stop being an emo pain in the butt, stop being lazy and complaining about how the world wont coddle you. Take a stand in your life, tell the world that you are happy that you are at least alive. Now, a quick note, I am not aiming this at any specific person so before you go ape on my butt just think about what I'm trying to say. I'm not usually one to make loud bold statements on here but I'm tired of sitting here and watching people suck they're thumbs and whine like a child. See, I can say something cause I've been in the low spots and I know what its like to feel like the world is falling apart, I at one time felt like there wasn't a reason to keep living. I almost died from a stupid tumor in my brain. I have loved and lost, and I will love and lose even more. And YET, and yet here I am today, mostly whole. I have learned from my pain, I have learned from my trials, and I can now say there is a reason to be alive. I'm not going to get all religious on all my friends who don't believe in God, but I do know that I wouldn't be alive if not for a higher power. Ladies and gents, I'm a walking miracle, I'm living proof. But back to my topic...If you want to find a reason to smile, if you want to find something to be happy about....then thanks the good Lord that you are at least alive and not sitting in a gutter on your deathbed. Now that I have said my peace, I wish you all a pleasant night, or day depending on where you are. Shalom, peace be with you
