Isn’t life just tough sometimes?  I mean when you stop, sit back, and observe what’s going on, it’s tough?  Is it only as complicated as we make it though?  I think so to an extent.  Life is what you make it out to be.  It isn’t what people around you set it to, it isn’t what your parents make it, it isn’t what your lover makes it, and it’s all about you.  It’s what you make it out to be.  You can worry, fret, and freak out over decisions you make, but it doesn’t really help in the long run.  You have to live life to the fullest, and not look back.  You can’t regret the decisions you make, no matter the outcome.  You can’t ask yourself, “Why did things play out this way?  Why didn’t it happen like I wanted it to?  Believe me, I’ve asked myself that trillions of times, but it seems like, in the end, everything plays out just right.  I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: 99% of the time, good things happen from bad situations, eventually.  So what does that mean?  That something bad had to happen in our life?  I think so.  Sometimes we are just faced with trials, and we may be facing those trials because of things that we did in life, good or bad.  But it is what we make it.  Good or bad, clean or dirty, white or black, life is what you make it out to be.  You have the ability to complicate it, or simplify it.

I once had a very difficult decision to make in my life, about a year ago actually.  I asked a friend of mine some advice. And he said this, “You know what you have to do, you know the right answer. You just need someone to tell you,” That was probably the best advice I’d heard in my whole life, because he was so right. I knew what was right, I knew what I needed to do in that particular situation, but I asked for advice anyway. Maybe that’s human nature? Maybe we need someone to tell us how it is.  I do sometimes.  I need that friendly encouragement, even if I know the answer.  Life is hard, but just like I always say, that’s what makes it life.
