What I live for.

I love my life.
No, really. I love my life.
About a month ago, I wouldn't have said that. But what's happening now is the reason I keep going.
Because everything happens for a reason.

"God breaks you down, only to help build you up...bigger and stronger."

I learned that at church once.
But it's so true! I just want to scream it to the world!
I'm just so happy right now, so content, so excited to live.
I want everyone to remember that everything happens for a reason.
I want everyone to remember to stay positive.
I want everyone to remember to smile and laugh at little things.
Because it's all SO true.

The friends, the job, the money, the dress, the dance, the scholarship, the jam sessions, the musical numbers, the family, the good health, the good grades, the good times...I could go on about the countless good things in my life...the blessings.

And I know this doesn't last forever, and I'm not saying my life is perfect right now, that it worked out exactly how I planned. Because it isn't, and it hasn't.
Stuff happens. So it's either I sit around moping around feeling crushed, or move on, and see the brighter side of things.
I'm going to fall sometimes, but, knowing that things will get better, that things HAVE gotten better...that I've seen this happen to me countless times?

...That's what I live for.
