Learning Life Lessons

Reflecting back on my life, there are some people that I have hated to lose and there are some circumstances that I have hated to endure. However, I've learned lessons that I might not have learned any other way. Down below, I'm going to be sharing some of these lessons that I've learned.


The Former Best Friend: My former best friend and I honestly just grew apart. We went to the same school at one point. When college came, we ended up not even being in the same city. Like I previously said, we ended up just growing apart. She was always the one I told everything to. I vented to her. She knew about the guys I liked. Everything. Haha. I put so much hope into having a "rock" here on earth. From this experience, I learned to not to put more hope in humans than God and to enjoy the moments that you have with people because they might not be around forever.

Now onto some of the lessons that I have learned from circumstances that I've endured:

The School That Was Shut Down: My senior year of high school I had my hopes set on going to one college. I happened to get a full-ride scholarship to this university. Two months before I graduated from high school, I learned that the college was shutting down and that I would have to find a different college to attend. From this experience, I learned that it's definitely important to have backup plans. I also learned that God will place you exactly where you are supposed to be and nowhere that you aren't supposed to be.

The Car Accident: It was my senior year of high school. I was driving my mom's car. I was driving somewhere that I needed to use a GPS for. However, I didn't mount the GPS. I had it in the cup holder... I was driving down this driveway leaving the place I had just driven to. The sides edges of the driveway were lined with cement curbs. I was looking down at the GPS and (to this day, I still don't even know how this happened...) I ended up driving up on the curb and scraping the side of a light pole with the side of the car. When I came off the curb, the tire ended up being blown out and the rim was scraped from where it hit the cement curb... From this experience, I learned to DEFINITELY not look down when driving and I was also refreshed on the fact of how good God is. Even though I scraped the pole, it didn't fall. It also only scratched the car instead of denting it. Even though I scraped the rim, it was easily fixed and the whole rim didn't even have to be replaced. Also, the blown out tire was on warranty.

Overall, I've learned that life is not easy. There are going to be people you lose and circumstances that you endure even though you most definitely don't want to. However, there is a bright side though it all and a lesson to be learned. In 2016, I found a newfound appreciation for the bright sides to things. I'm so thankful for the memories I've gained from my ex and former best friend. I'm also thankful for the lessons that I've learned in this lifetime. I hope you can enjoy the memories and lessons that you learn in life.

Take Care & God Bless. <3
