I am

Standing here, not hating this place but seeing it for what it is and knowing I am blessed.

Because not everyone gets this opportunity, and even though it’s excellent, sometimes the uphill battle is too much.

I realize I could be bitter, but what is the point of that?

As I walk back into this place after being away, I see it differently, and a part of me isn’t just letting certain things side anymore.

I am here for a reason, and so are the others, so I know until I walk out that door and not come back again.

Everyone around me will do some work, and hopefully, their moods will change, too, because life is too short to be miserable.

Especially when so many others are going through it, and my path isn’t as tricky, so humbly stand here hoping for the best and realizing there is light at the end of this tunnel and as long as I believe everything will work itself out.

I never want to be entirely negative about life as it gets you nowhere fast, and the outcome is living in the darkness and missing out on the light in life that God has to offer you.

And trust me believing things will get better and being in a good mood goes a long way when life tries to trip you up.
