appreciate

Life isn't usually easy.  Of course at the age of 20, everything seems like it's the end of the world.  Money is tight, school is tough, friendships are elastic, and identity is chased.

Although it can be a rocky road, life is BEAUTIFUL.  Sure you have to let things go sometimes, sure you get in arguments, sure you cry.  You'll get angry, you'll be upset.  Things will go sour faster than you can snap your fingers.  But honestly, what is a good moment worth without these moments?  If life was easy, if everything were perfect all the time... who would you be?  Would your relationships be as strong as they are?  Would you be as courageous as you've learned to be?  Would your smiles mean as much to you as they do now?
I could easily spend my day wrapped up in scary things, sad things, upsetting things.  I could let it eat me up, after all it's much easier letting anxiety consume you than it is to bite it back in the face.

Here's my wish for you:
I wish that you will stand up strong against your troubles, remembering that without them your happiness would be futile. Embrace the bad, for it only makes the good better.
