Lies adults told me.

Remember that time I drove to Texas twice in 3 weeks? Yeah me too. Family is supposed to be the ties that bind. Sometimes those ties are severed and you have to keep truckin' along like everything is fine and hunky dory. LIES haha, it's okay to not be okay if you're taking care of yourself. Sometimes that's really hard for people to hear. This weekend my mom told me "I keep thinking if Brody can be alone then I can do it." This was really hard for me to hear. I didn't magically become okay with being alone. I was forced to deal with a hard situation and I chose to rise above it. Everyone has rough situations and deals differently but the very rare few know right away what to do. There's beauty in the chaos of trying to revive a life that's long since lost. Only if you have the courage and strength to look forward to the future and make a difference in your own life. I'm not a life coach, or exceedingly successful in this world. I struggle and make mistakes. But I learn, and I use them to my advantage. There's a difference between learning and giving up. It's really important to be thankful for those who have gotten you this far, but even more important to have faith in yourself. To know you'll be okay on your own. At the end of the day, you're all you've really got. So live it up, make good choices and don't take life for granted.
