Faith

Sometimes I find it amazing how negative people can be about things and situations, I know that I can fall into this trap as well, but I always do my best to get out of it. I think that a lot of times people seem to be unable to see that in everything that we experience there is something to be taken away from it. I really believe that everything happens for a reason and that there is always some reason behind it. Everything teaches us a lesson and it is what we make of that lesson that molds us into the people we are.

Everything, good and bad that happens to us will teach us something and sometimes the worst things that can happen to you are absolute blessings in disguise. You don't know it until it you see it from a less biased perspective. I know from my experiences that this has generally been true. It's easy to see that something gained is always a beneficial experience, but many people overlook that losses are also gains in disguise. Losses teach you the meaning of life, they teach what you've been doing wrong, they teach you how to appreciate what they have. They are essential to being able to enjoy life and live it happily.

Sometimes though, it's just too easy to get caught up in the moment. Too easy to fall into being unhappy.

I believe that life is a balance, like a scale. So when things get rough, I know that things happen for a reason and that since life is a balance, there is always something good to offset the bad.

For whoever is reading this, I hope that they think about this when they are consumed by the green eyed monster or maybe just the blues. What you're seeing is just the shell, you have no idea what other things may lie beyond your perception.

Appreciate your life for what it is, for what it is in it, who is in it and why it is the way it is. I think sometimes we overlook what we have, what we have been gifted with and fall too much into pining for what we don't have.

If you appreciate life for what it is, you might just realize that you have so much more than you ever thought you did.

Spring Break

Look! It's my future puppy! A corgi! I'm going to get me one of these when I get an apartment and some time to raise one, and it's going to LOVE ME. Ahhhh!!!! So cute! >.< hehehehe

Anyway...

I've decided to put this back off. Yey! That means I'm letting random visitors back into my life again!

I haven't written an actual entry in this thing for a while or maybe I have I don't remember. Anyway, Spring Break is almost over :(. I've done basically NOTHING, in terms of school work, ugh this weekend is going to HURT.

Anyway, I did get some practices down here in SoCal in and I feel that I learned a lot from them. It's just a shame I you know... LEFT MY CONTACTS BACK IN BERKELEY. So I while practicing kendo in my men I was as blind as a friggen bat. Not only that but they were doing some shiai geiko at Norwalk, and I had to fight bat blind style :(. It's okay I know that if I had contacts I would have done much much better. I also made some friends, at least I hope they'll remember when they see me again :).

I <3 making new friends! More people to play with! yey! This is also probably why I took candy from strangers as a child...

I'm happy :) with all the kendo things I've learned this week, the biggest one being fumikomi! I literally spent an hour with a sensei learning how to hit insync, I'm honestly very thankful for that, because I've been having that problem for the LONGEST time.

Anyway, I'm sorry for this uber boring entry. I know I normally write things that are more entertaining. Hum.....nothing interesting has happened though :(.

After this weekend, I'm basically am going to be doing kendo stuff every weekend until school gets out though. Good bye life!!! I love you all but you're never going to see me :P. That's probably kind of a lie. I will probably just stop sleeping.

To all my kendo teammates, team bonding yey!!! I want to play with you guys more :). If only I had a carrrrrr, it's okay, I don't have the time to use one anyway.

Even though I'm dedicating all my time to kendo, as it gets closer to nationals I'm getting more excited! Also feeling that there's no end to the things I need to work on...



Man I talk about kendo a lot...

Kendooo hehehehee :)

Feel it.

When I've got it,
When I'm giving it,
When it's good.

I can feel it.

I'm going to strive for that feeling.

When you finally learn to live for yourself,
you find that life is much more beautiful than it ever used to be.

You also find that you are much more beautiful than you ever believed yourself to be.

There's nothing you can't do anymore, and happiness becomes something that comes from within.

I'm good enough.

And it feels amazing.
