013 (Tragedy)

I wanted to have something beautiful to write today.

I wanted to be eloquent, to have some wisdom worthy to share... But some days just take it out of you and leave you with not a lot left over. Today was one of those days. Today reminded me of something I wrote in October, right after I found out that I hadn't got into nursing school.

"Sometimes what's in front of you is so far outside what you dreamed, you want to declare the whole thing a tragedy. But you have the boldness and the courage to call it not wrong, but beautiful, And you'd be right. Because that's when you really start to learn what celebrating life usually means."

I will choose to celebrate, though this beautiful season has worn a memory on my heart. I will choose to sing, even though the road is sometimes lonely and life doesn't add up. I will choose to believe that joy is my destiny, not sorrow. That God knows the promises He has made to me and He will see them through.

I will never declare life to be a tragedy.
