a basket of peaches?

okay, i haven't blogged in an insanely extended amount of time.. but i want to say something. it may be short, it may get wordy, we'll see how things go..

i just want to say that life my not be a basket of peaches, and it's not even a box of chocolates (sometimes you do know what you're gonna get, and it's that one filled with coconut!) ..anyway, life can be difficult, miserable, frustrating, heartbreaking, etc etc. but like someone said, those famous words (which i won't bother to google from whom they came right meow), "it goes on." it does go on, and sometimes that in itself is what makes life suck. and there are days, maybe a lot of days in a row, where you can't see any light, you don't feel any hope and you think you're stuck in the black hole forever ..that's simply not true. having a single good day out of 100 rotten days proves that untrue. having said that, i know, without a doubt, that telling yourself things 'will get better' when they're awful can, sometimes, literally do absolutely nothing to ease your pain. those are your damn near impossible days. but your run of the mill "bad" day will come along, and maybe you'll see a tiny speck of light, maybe you'll smile once that day and it'll feel comforting and familiar, let yourself embrace it, and know that one day there will be more. there will be more smiles and laughter, and more comfort and solace, and maybe just a bit of happiness...

this probably sounds like a jumble, and i should go back and find better ways of explaining those things, but that's what came out, so there you have it. have hope. take heart. even when you can't even begin to tell yourself those things, do it anyway. when thinking about better days doesn't make you feel any less hurt or miserable, just know that they'll be there. press forward through the impossible, because, whether you believe it or not, impossible is not as resilient, not as strong as you are. impossible can't last forever. it'll give up and shrivel away and bite the dust, leaving you far ahead.

"I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have peace. in this world you will have trouble. but take heart! I have overcome the world."
