Life Is A Roller Coaster

Hello, everyone. So this is my first post on here and really I am just seeing how this will go. Anyways off to my post.

We all have our hard times in life, and our good times. This year has been a year of ups and downs for me. There was so many times I just wanted to give up, and cry. I was unemployed, I had lost my Opa (grandpa), to cancer, my friends had just killed themselves, and I was just feeling lost in a sea that people call life.

Then I thought about it. I thought why should I give up and let those who didn't believe in me win? Why give in and give up on the things I wanted to do in life. Yes, this year and the year before had been hell but I couldn't just lay down and disappear. I had so much more to live for, and so many people counting on me to be there for them.

So despite how bad life had been I finally put my butt back in the fray. I had my mom that survived cancer encouraging me the entire time. Even though at times I had to be a bigger support system than just her when she was having a hard time. She never let me get too deep into the dark hole of no return. It was due to her and my friends that I came back into the light. Things started to change for the better once we got back from Fort Bragg.

For one I got a new job, and I am loving it so much still. I have been going out more, and been getting healthier due to hiking, and just doing stuff other then sitting on my butt all day. I am more explorative again, and I can't wait for my next adventure may it be with friends or family. I am singing again, and I am even drawing and writing again.I guess it takes a lot of bad stuff to happen for the good to happen again. Life is looking up for the better again, and I am the happiest I been in months.

I may have lost people I loved ,but I have so many more people that are there for me and I would be nothing without them.They are my support system , my family, my friends ,and my life. I am there for them like they are there for me. Through thick and thin ,and to the very end. To those who are going through a hard time though keep your head held high ,and remember just as things got better for me they will for you too. Just remember to breathe and don't lock people out.
