Counting Stars.

Sometimes, life isn't so wonderful.

I think we've all realized that. It's hard to deal with the things thrown at us. But we try. Trying isn't always good enough though. Sometimes, you just have to deal with what you get and go with it. Learn from the mistakes you made that got you in that situation. Find the people that truley care. Let go of the ones that aren't there when you really need them the most.

It's hard. Probably one of the hardest things you'll ever have to do. Letting go of someone that you believed in, trusted, loved... there's no way to do it easily. It will always end in tears and heartache. You'll want to believe your emotions, but you know in your heart that it's time. Keep your head up high and hope, that one day, that someone might come back. Remember, that if they don't, they don't deserve you. Cherish the good memories you have. Let go of the past and stop thinking about what could've been. You're here and there's no going back... only going forward. Make the steps you take count for something. Look for the good when it's hardest to find. Even if it's just the fact that the sun's out... capture it and try to make it worth something.

A really wonderful person once told me, "Everything gets worse before it gets better. And sometimes you can't imagine how bad it can get. But then, one day, when you're least expecting it, something will go right. Then you realize that it's going to get better. You just have to wait for that day to come because it always will."

Times get harder and things change. There's nothing you can do about that. Have hope that it will get better. Know in your heart that someone out there cares enough to try to help you. People will always stab you in the back, but you have to realize that it's not going to happen everytime. Force a smile, and one day, you won't have to anymore. One day, it'll be real. Just don't give up. Ever. Know that you can do whatever it takes to get what you want.

And remember, you were only given this life because you're strong enough to live it.
