You can’t force someone to care. It’s just somethin you can’t do. If a person decides they don’t care they separate themselves from a situation. It’s difficult to handle when two people are involved. When someone cares and the other doesn’t it just puts people in what seem like impossible situations. That’s life though. Not everything is in your control. While their might be plenty of situations that you can make work out there is also situations that are impossible.

“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind.”

“The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past better than it was, the present worse than it is, and the future less resolved than it will be.”
↓
“Whatever it is, if it doesn’t make you happy, walk away. Give it away to someone else who wants it. Let it be their next dream; let it out of your system. You’re emptying out your limitations when you do that. & then you have room to grow… to allow magnificent things fill the vacuum of those seemingly empty places. Because when you hold onto yesterday… when you hold onto dead & dying adventures, you have no room in your box for greatness.”

Change Today is not yesterday: we ourselves change; how can our works and thoughts, if they are always to be the fittest, continue always the same? Change, indeed is painful; yet ever needful; and if memory have its force and worth, so also has hope.
-Thomas Carlyle
My life has changed so much in the past few months. Everything is different than it was before. I no longer have a girlfriend, I no longer go to school, and the way I have been living my life has changed drastically. While I have had so much trouble with all of these changes I’ve started to realize that change is inevitable. It’s definitely going to be painful but there is not a lot you can do about it sometimes. Sometimes the best thing you can do is to just try your best to accept it. I came across a quote from an unknown author that I was really able to relate with.
When it becomes more difficult to suffer than change — then you will change.
To be perfectly honest I am so tired of being sad and depressed over the changes that have been going on in my life. While change is scary and painful it is necessary sometimes. While I have so much trouble accepting the changes in my life I’ve kind of come to a crossroad. I can either be completely miserable or I can try to get better. I need to move on with my life and realize that no matter how much I want things to go back to the way they were it just isn’t going to happen. Things will never be the same and while that seems like a bad thing right now I know that somehow things will get better for me if I make enough of an effort to try to make them better.
My step-mom left a quote for me on the counter that she thought might help me this morning.
Tears happen — Endure, grieve, and move one. The only person, who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be alive why you are alive.
It made a lot of sense to me. It kind of relates to the whole idea that you can’t just ignore change. It’s alright to be sad but you have to endure and be able to move on. While people you care about will hurt you throughout your life, you have to be able to get through it. No one is going to be able to be with you throughout your entire your life except yourself. You need to be comfortable with yourself. You can’t depend on the people you care about to get you through everything. While they may be able to help you through things the only person that can really solve your problems is you. There comes a point in time where you have to be the one to get through the hard parts. It kind of reminds me of a quote by Gandhi.
You must be the change you wish to see in the world.
I know he’s talking about the bigger picture but I feel like it still holds true for your own world. You have to be the change you wish to see in your world. If you can accept that then maybe you’ll be able to move on when you need to. I guess what I’m trying to say is sometimes bad things happen and there’s nothing you can do about it. You may feel helpless and sorry for yourself but it’s not going to get you anywhere in the long run. It’s alright to be sad but there comes a time where you just get tired of being miserable and want to get better. When that time comes you can’t just expect a change to happen all on its own. You need to be able to actively do something about it. After all you are the only one that really can.
I’m not saying you need to just forget your problems and move on. You need to be able to learn from past experiences and apply them to your future. You can try to bury the past all you want but no matter what you do it will always be there. It reminds me of a scene from the lion king where Rafiki is talking to Simba after he sees his father in the sky. Simba has been just trying to forget his past and live with no worries but Rafiki has to remind him that you can’t run from your past. No matter what you do the pain from the past will still linger even if you try to ignore it. You need to learn from past experiences and apply them to the future.
I really don’t know if any of this makes sense. I feel like I’m rambling most of the time I’m writing. I just try to write things that make sense to me. I don’t know how everybody else feels about these things but I know how I feel. I guess just writing these things down gives me hope for the future. For a long time I haven’t been able to have any hope for the future and for the first time in a long time I feel like maybe things will work out. I’ve always known I would get better but I never really believed myself when I said it until now. While I will always miss the things that are no longer in my life I know that there’s nothing I can do to bring them back. If there was I wouldn’t be in the situation I’m in now. For me the logical thing to do is to make an active attempt to get better because being miserable is getting really tiring.

The First Post - On Failure I decided that it would be a good idea to start writing about my thoughts. Not necessarily about specific things about my life, but about the ideas my life is shaped around. I’ve been reading my friend Jeni’s blog and I really like what she has to say.
