Quotes for the moment

I found an interesting application on FB that analyzes your FB status. How many posts, average length, average posts a day etc. You can actually take a look at your statuses from previous months. I found this interesting because I went through some tumultuous times this time last year and I was really sad reading through some of them. I pulled out 4 quotes from that... and they still mean a lot to me.

~Life does not travel in straight lines. Life is meandering and messy, full of surprises, confusion and unexpected moments of struggle and beauty.~

I would rather be hated for who I am.... then loved for who I'm not...

Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind

~The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; you can't go forward in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.~

I have made some big mistakes in my life. I am far from perfect and don't expect others to be. I hold on to things WAY past their expiration date and even though I move on for the most part....I often rehash the past (typically happens after a few glasses of red ;)

I realized today how unhealthy I was at this time last year and how must healthier I am right at this moment. Am I always strong and smart? NO. I have struggled with so much in the past year, but it's all part of a bigger journey.

Try and try as I might...there are certain things that will linger and I won't be able to let go of. And that's ok. My biggest problem is I haven't received closure for a few things... but I don't think I ever will. And life goes on. It is what it is. And I'm going to focus on living my life the best way possible. I'm going to focus on living: One. Day. At. A. Time.

Cheers :)
