Thank You, I Love You.

This is for all of the people who have succeeded in keeping me strong throughout my weakest moments in life. I thank God each day for bringing you into my life. We may not always be together, we may not always be able to have the best communication with each other, but I know that at the end of the day, I know if I need you, you will always be there. Each and everyone of you know who you are. I will always be here for you as well. I am not going anywhere. I am beyond blessed for your encouraging words of support, wisdom, laughter, and most importantly: LOVE. No matter what happens, love is what has brought us together as friends, love is what keeps our hearts beating each and every single day, and love is the light when we are in the deepest shadows of darkness. I appreciate you all more than you can even imagine. Everything happens for a reason and I believe God has granted me your prescence because he knew we would need each other one day. I needed you before, I need you now, I'll need you tomorrow, and I'll need you even when you're gone. You will be in my heart because it's my heart that has felt everything positive, beautiful, and inspiring that you have ever given me. So, thank you. I love you. I hope to see you soon. Remember, the lost get found, it just takes some searching. 

PS. remember to stay strong yourself. don't give up. don't settle. believe in yourself. let go. let God. 

Here are song lyrics that keep me strong..

"Don't let your lights go down, don't let your fire burn out, somewhere somebody needs a reason to believe. Why don't you rise up now, don't be afraid to stand up now, that's how the lost get found."

"The devil wants a fellow with a weakness he can wrap his arms around. The champion wants a challenger who just may have the strength to take him down. The river wants a notion to run towards and pour its heart into."

I love you all.
XOXO, Abbey 

Lessons of Relationships.

The more I think about it, people and relationships are fascinating. The way we meet, the way we fall in love for a friendship and for romance, but also how we fall apart and start new chapters in our lives. Maybe there is a reason why the people we love hurt us sometimes and how we hurt the people that we love. I don't believe it is ever intentional. I do believe that there is a reason that we are being put through the struggle. It's all a learning lesson. We are hurt so we can gain strength, and we hurt others unintentionally because there is a need for us to realize that we are wrong. We have to learn to admit that we are wrong and that 99% of the time, we really mess things up and are too proud to think for a second that we are wrong. I dont know a single person that enjoys admitting that they made a mistake. That's why it's called life. We are constantly reminded of how we can be a better person, and a lot of the time, it causes us to lose something to gain a lesson learned. In the process of these lessons, you can always rekindle lost relationships, but this time around you'll have a better knowledge of how to compose yourself because you are stronger than you have ever been. You will be smarter in your actions and wiser in your words. You'll know how to treat people the right way. You'll know how to love without any excuses. You'll be able to breathe and laugh and learn and live. But guess what? Once you think you have it all figured out again, another block in the road will come up and you'll have to start the process all over again. Yeah, it does suck and it will be stressful and you will get hurt. Life will always bring struggle, no one ever said it would be easy. We will hurt others and others will hurt us. We will judge, manipulate, hate, resent, and give up on any hope we ever had. Although we will be beaten by the bad, we will also learn to be happy in our own content way, laugh until we cry, love with no limits, appreciate what we do have, and gain strength every single day. So no, life is not easy, but it's a worth while fight to become an amazing person. Don't try to be perfect, don't beg for forgiveness, don't cry over people who forgot about you, and do not give up on yourself because one day we will be the best version of ourselves and the people who hurt us will look back and realize what a mistake they made. Stay strong everyone.
