Better Days
How do I say this?
People are so negative.
There are so many people who carry the burden of negativity. And the weirdest thing is, it seems as if they want to have this burden.
The saddest part is, they don't realize what negativity does to the soul. No one has to be bound by the chains of antagonism, but so many people choose this way of life.
This week marks two years.
Two years ago, one of the worst days of my life ensued, and for many months after, I had to deal with the repercussions of one mistake that was not necessarily my own; it just happened. I had to figure out how to cope, how to deal with the situation given to me faster than a car can run into a concrete median going 60 mph.
Two years later, I am who I am because of my past; and without this specific struggle specially delivered to me, I would not be the version of myself I am today.
In the midst of my struggles, I would have never told you that, months and years later, I would be thankful for those days laying in a hospital bed, those hours under the knife, and those many many moments filled with tears, hopelessness and sorrow.
But somehow, to this day, the story of my struggles and challenges faced remain my most favorite story to tell.
Although filled with trials, it is a story of victory; and although I can claim this victory as my own, it is not because of myself that I made it to the other side of the valley.
I've been down, I've been down
Burning up like fever
Better days, better days
Are not so far away
And I'll keep praying I make it
Like someone worth saving
I still got some fight left inside me
I shoulda' had a little more heart and soul
f*** the rear view mirror
our future looks a little bit clearer
I'm turning every second into solid gold
I've been down, I've been down
Burning up like fever
Better days, better days
Are not so far away
I've been lost, I've been found
Now I believe in
Better days, better days
Are not so far away
It was a good while ago that I put together a compilation of videos from my 2016 summer, the summer after my accident.
It is amazing what four months can do; how bodies can heal and joy can be restored in such a short period of time.
So long story short?
Cut the negativity, for your own soul's sake.
Life is life; hate it or love it, it is probably due to your own mindset.
