After graduating high school I went on to drink my life away without a care about anyone or anything. And now looking back I have come to the realization that had I not had my grandpa in Heaven watching over me that I would not be here today. Some might say that if he had not pasted away that I would not have found the dark side, however I know that I still would have; something would have still pushed me over the edge.
Fast forward to present day and a couple of the most wonderful kids later I have a whole new outlook on life. It's funny because my outlook now falls back on the same thing I hated to hear when my grandpa passes away. Everything. Happens. For. A. Reason. And I mean everything. If I would have done one thing differently in my past I would not be where I am today. I could never go back in time and change anything for fear of not having what I have now. There might be things in my past that I'm not proud of (and there are) but I don't regret any of it. It's weird ever since having my second child has this realization really taken place, and I guess it's because I'm truly happy. But I really am, I wouldn't change a thing about my life or the people in it. :)
To all those that are in that dark place or on the verge, or even those that are happy, never forget that the past is the past and thank God for all that you have because it's better to have nothing and be alive then to have everything and be dead.
Live today for today and in the end things will work themselves out ❤
