Hey,
I hope everyone had an amazing Christmas. I'm sorry to anyone that has been reading my blogs (I doubt anyone is out there)… I haven’t had the inspirational bug recently but since I’ve come home from University to spend Christmas with my family I’ve been slightly inspired. Most inspired by one quote that I've always believed in and loved:
“Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.” Mark Twain
It’s an interesting quote, and a very truthful one at that. Most people these days see life as something that is there to provide them with complete happiness every year, every month, week and day of their life but it isn’t. It is true that life is a wonderful thing, but it’s also true that life is what you made it; you can’t go along in life expecting that everything will be handed to you on a silver platter. I always feel like I am ranting and I apologise; but recently in my life, I’ve seen that people take life for granted! Yes, everyone has their tough moments and times when they believe that life is no longer worth it but it is.
It makes me sad to see my family crumble as it is at the moment. Crumble under the imaginary things that worm their way into vulnerable minds and infect their very being. I’ve experienced, since being home, pain, sadness and utter disbelief. I’ve come home and don’t understand how much things have changed.
I sit here at the moment and watch the recent happenings in my life- and I’m powerless to do things to help to change things. I don’t want to have to watch my family face these problems day in day out with the heartache it causes.
It is true, the world doesn’t owe us a living; we have to make our own. I hope that the New Year enlightens us to do something about our life to create happiness and see that the world is a beautiful and colourful place… the grey areas just need to be coloured in and appreciated.
Have a marvellous New Year; and I hope that my blogs come more often and happier.
Much love,
Nicole x
