This past year has been one of my hardest years since senior
year of college. I embarked on what
would prove be a challenging, but a rewarding experience. These quotes are what got me through a
difficult year and reminding me I’m almost done with school.
“Doesn’t matter how tough we are. Trauma always leaves a
scar. It follows us home, it changes our lives, Trauma messes everybody up, but
maybe that’s the point: All the pain and the fear and the crap. Maybe going
through all of that is what keeps us moving forward, it’s what pushes us. Maybe
we have to get a little messed up, before we can step up.” GA
“Fresh starts. Thanks to the calendar, they happen every
year. Just set your watch to January. Our reward for surviving the holiday
season, is a new year. Bringing on the great tradition of New Year’s
resolutions. Put your past behind you, and start over. It’s hard to resist
the chance at a new beginning. A chance to put the problems of last year to bed.”
“Pain is your friend; it is your alie. Pain reminds you to
finish the job and get the hell home. Pain tells you when you have been
seriously wounded. And you know what the best thing about pain is? It tells you
you’re not dead yet!” GI Jane
“You have to get hurt. That’s how you learn. The strongest
people out there – the ones who laugh the hardest with a genuine smile, those
are the people who have fought the toughest battles. Because they’ve decided
they’re not going to let anything hold them down, they’re showing the world
who’s the boss.” Unknown
“You can’t calm the storm so stop trying. What you can do is calm yourself. The storm will pass.”
“You try hard to be perfect at it sometimes. You get yourself down when you aren’t. You’re not super woman. No one is. You don’t learn everything from a book. You learn it with experiences. But you’re gotta take it easy on yourself
in the mean time.”
“Who says you are not perfect? To me you are a perfect friend. You are your own worst critic. But things things that you may not like about
yourself may have others thinking even more of you. You go through life trying and doing your
best. Your best is your best and that’s
who you are and what makes you, you. And
when and if you fail, or fell call on your friends and try again. We got your back.”
“You can’t dwell what happen in the past nor change it. Stop reliving it because you are hurting
yourself. Move on and focus on the
future.”
