More or less a rant about life.

This is my first post in this blog... I think... and surprisingly enough it isn't really about sex or dating or anything of that sort. It's just about life. So if you're down for that keep reading, if you're not then I don't know why you clicked this in the first place, the title is pretty self explanitory.

I've been doing a lot of thinking recently about fate and life and whether or not people have a "path". All that bullshit. For many reasons which I will choose not to talk about right now, I believe that everything happens for a reason. I believe that the grass is always greener where it rains, and just because whatever might be happening now is awful, it won't always be like that because life isn't stasis. If it was, there wouldn't be much of a point to life at all, would there? So when things are especially difficult, I choose to believe that it's happening for a reason, and that reason will ultimately help me grow as a person.

I think that the point of life is change. We learn, we adapt, we evolve. In the last 8 years I've realized that more than ever. Just because things seem to have hit absolute rock bottom doesn't mean that you should set up camp and live there. Everything is temporary, nothing is predictable. I used to go crazy thinking about the future and wanting everything to stay the exact way it was, thinking that if anything moved an inch my whole world would come crumbling down. But then I looked at my life in hindsight, and thats exactly what had happened. Everything had changed, but I'd barely even realized it. Once I understood that, I realized that it wasn't a big deal. I was okay, everyone else was okay, and even though things were different.. they were fine.

Sometimes things can be exceptionally harder than one would like them to be, and it is harder to cope during those times. Eventually though, different has become the new normal, the present has become the past, and you have grown considerably.
You should never let change hinder your growth. Embrace all of it, because really there's no other option. Life can feel like complete garbage sometimes, but holding onto the past doesn't do any favours for yourself in the future. The past is a part of you, but it shouldn't define who you are.

I don't even know where I'm going with this. Sometimes life is shitty but it's necessary. Dwelling on negativity will never benefit you or anyone else, so there's no point in holding onto it. People will stay, people will go, people will love you, people will hate you. Deal with it, take it as it is, and move forwards.

The best part of life is never knowing what's going to happen next, so why would you want everything to stay the same?

Sorry if this is incoherent and/or stupid. I've only had one coffee and I've been up since 7:30.
