Life is complicated, full of ups and downs.

I never really realize how great I have it with my life until I see one of my friends go through something terrible. It shouldn't come down to that. I should be thankful for what I have every day of my life, regardless of what goes wrong or even goes right for that matter. This is something I am determined to work on. To be happy with what I have, no matter how much or how little. To not envy those around me. To know that working hard pays off, even if it seems like things are going nowhere. I want to be a better person. I want to be more honest with myself and others in my life. I want to trust God with everything that I have, just to hand it all over to him and leave him in control. It's never been easy for me, but I really want to take an honest shot at all of this. Even if it takes some time.
