Life can hurt :(

So, I know a lot of my friends who are going through many things in their lives, as well as myself. Life can be...well life and sometimes it just really sucks. We go through things we never thought we would have to face. We cry, we get hurt, we feel bad, we regret, and sometimes we feel broken. But there is always something good in your life, no matter how hard it seems. You are blessed and you are always loved. I want to dedicate this post specifically to my friend, Gabby. She is a great friend and I know it's hard to go through life at times. She's always been there when I've been down. Gabby, hang in there. You are such a great and shining example to those around you. We love your smile and I hope everything gets better doll.

"In life you are going to make mistakes, you're going to fall down, but it's the getting up that counts. Just like in baseball: you'll get a few hits, but most likely, you'll strike out more than you'll get on base. But don't quit. Find your focus, relax, take a deep breath and give it a good swing." -Dave Pelzer

"You're not alone, for I am here. Let me wipe away your every fear. My love, I've never left your side. I have seen you through the darkest night and I'm the one who's love you all of your life. All of your life." -Your Not Alone by Meredith Andrews

"He knows your heart, He knows your pain. He knows the strength it took just to simply breathe today. He sees the tears that you cry. He knows your soul is aching to know why. He hears your prayers, each humble word. When you said you couldn't face another day, He understood. He knows the path when you walk blind, though you felt alone, He's never left your side." -He'll Carry You by Hilary Weeks

"We may not always understand why, but there's always a reason. We may not understand how, but there's always a way." -Alissa Lopez
