Times like these...
This weekend was happy, fun, scary, and sad. It started out with Mon and Me spending time at Lazy Moon and Waterford together then Kearn, Mon, Neeva, Viv, Emmie, Pino, and I went to Club Paris. I wasn't in a bad mood but I definitely wasn't in a happy mood....kinda just blah probably bc of this sad week for one of my close, very dear friends. Then instead of heading to Hobe Sound/Stuart Friday, I ended up deciding to stay for Halloween Horror Nights. It was way better than 2 years ago. We went in 4 Haunted Houses, on Dueling Dragons, Hulk, Twister, and The Mummy's Revenge. And I randomly saw 2 of my fav guys ever...gotta love Tommy and Roberts...I miss them so much! Then early Saturday morning I headed south to the funeral. It was a very nice but very sad service. And the gathering afterward was so nice to just spend time with Danielle and her family...you all are still in my prayers...love you Danielle :) Keep taking it 1/2 a day at a time. Then Saturday night we did not end up going line dancing at County Line. Adam and his house mates ended up having a party so that was fun. I found out I am not very good at beer pong and car bombs are surprisingly really good. Then today my friends went home and I slept a lot.
This past week has made me take a step back and look at life from the observation deck. It's unfortunate that it takes such terrible trgadies to make people realize what is important and what really matters. You realize that we take way too much for granted...those every day occurences that seem so ordinary yet they can be changed forever in the blink of an eye. This week has especially made me more aware of how the things I stress out about really mean diddly squat and are nothing compared to what others are going through. Yea, everyone has their own problems to deal with but we can't ignore the level of those problems. Sometimes we really just need to listen to ourselves and see how stupid we are for complaining or stressing about certain things when other people have actual detrimental life problems. Those things like that test we might have just failed or lack of sleep because of HW or those guy and girl problems or little quarrels with one another any other stupid or dramatic stuff just are really nothing. It's honestly a waste of time and energy when we should be embracing the relationships we have with loved family and friends, making the most of each precious day, taking time to just make memories to cherish together. We really have no clue or control when our time on earth is up. I know it seems death is so far off in the future it shouldn't cross our minds. But in reality, it can happen to any of us, anytime, anywhere. And in such hard times when there seems like there are no answers for all of our questions, we cannot give up. I honestly and whole-heartedly believe everything happens for a reason, and even though that reason might not be revealed for a long time, that trust and that bit of hope in God no matter how small can help us to keep going. I can't even begin to imagine what some people are going through or begin to understand the amount of pain and shock and sadness they deal with 24/7. All I can do is offer my prayers and help if ever needed. I admire their strength and pray that something good will come from such tragedy because God always seems to eventually balance out the bad with the good. I can think of one good thing that has come out of this week. This I think has brought us 5 girls closer than ever. I have realized that we are so blessed to have each other. I wish it didn't take something so tragic to make me realize this, but I am so glad to feel this way. I know no matter what ever happens, you all will be there for me and I will be there for you. And especially right now, we are there for you Danielle. So Manda, Lizziebeth, Mellie, and Danielle, I love you all and thanks for being such awesome friends!! I think we are so so blessed and lucky to have found one another and come together like this in such a short amount of time!
"Every time you hear a new born baby's cry, remember, someone, somewhere has just died."
I love you all...don't forget to tell the ones you love that you really do love them...time can run out when least expected.
