Life

People often write on blogs such as Xanga, Blogspot, and Tumblr, venting about life and its complexity. I really don't understand why people do this; letting people read their every thought... vulnerability. However, I'm going to give it a try and start posting my thoughts. I doubt anyone will read this blog, but if any of you do, know that I don't intend to offend any of you or your friends. I'm simply "venting".

Venting? Not really. But life has been extremely tough. I constantly feel hopeless, that I should go with the flow and to wait for something interesting to happen to me.

And it certainly has...

I met a lovely girl.
I saw death.
I met problems that made me so angry

And then what? How does one cope with stress?

My cousin would tell me to read a book. It helps

My friends would tell me to take play some video games. It takes your mind off of things.

My church would tell me to talk to God, read the bible, pray. He listens

My parents would tell me to talk to them. They understand.

... But I tell myself to just keep going through the motions of life, because pain will eventually pass, right? Suffering never lasts forever, and eventually I will reach the light at the end of the tunnel.

"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger"

Whenever I read this quote, it lifts my soul up. Along with my friends who send me encouraging messages telling me they love me.

And so I take their advice:

I read a book every time I’m angry.

I play video games to release stress.
I read Proverbs 3:5-6 until I fall asleep smiling, knowing God was there from the very start.
And I tell my parents about how I'm stressed, they really do understand.

Life for Isaac: I took a random test... It says I have a life span of 75 years. 60 more years to go...

Bring it on.
