When Life Hands You Lemons....

Everyone has heard that more than annoying saying: When life hands you lemons, make lemonade. Unfortunately, the saying may have some truth behind it. I prefer a different saying with a similar message: Life has its ups and downs, but it takes the sad days to realize the happy, better ones. Either way, whichever saying you prefer, the ultimate message is the same: take the negative and make it positive; use what you have been given. But right now, that is the last thing I want to even think about - making things happier or better. FORGET IT! I thought today was going to be a good day, it's August after all, and August is usually such a happy month. Boy was I wrong.


I love getting texts early in the day saying how bad of a person I am, and that I, pretty much, can't do anything right.  Those are my personal favorite! Or finally getting my ring back from my ex-boyfriend, only to realize the mail lost it. The fact that I have been asking it back for almost a month now only makes that experience TEN TIMES BETTER. Oh, but I am sure that someone optimistic and who lives for the chance to use the damn lemonade saying would day, at least you have your health or something along those lines. Well personally, I want my ring back, and I would love for someone to realize that when you make mistakes you can't take them back, but all you can do is apologize and move on.


Mistakes are something in life that everyone makes, and yet no one wants to realize it is human nature. Mistakes cannot be undone or made better, they happened - it's over. Mistakes should become part of the past, and an experience to learn from - not harp on. However, people don't look at it like that, I am coming to find out. Mistakes will be thrown in your face when you least expect it, may even be by someone you least expect it. But realize, at some point in your life, every mistake you made will be brought to your attention - more than likely once you have already tried to forget it. Just a key piece of knowledge I have learned, don't regret any actions (whether they be mistakes or not) because you did learn something, or got something out of the experience. And if you didn't, you still shouldn't regret it, because you thought it was the right thing to do at the time - everyone's hindsight is 20/20.


Ughh, okay so I am done venting/ranting for the day! Sorry guys for throwing all of this out there; I am just having a bad day! Hope everyone else is enjoying the day!
