Enough is Enough


Life? Life is full of journeys and learning experiences. I have learned to live by the quote “Everything happens for a reason.” I have a strong faith and try to remain close to my God. But why must we go through trial after trial when some seem so unnecessary? Does everything really happen for a reason?
Life is about learning, love and fulfilling enjoyment. It’s about giving our best at everything we engage in and passing along happiness to those around us. But if this is true why must tragedies happen? Why must ones we love pass away? Most say it’s to teach us to cherish moments and love more courageously. This to me is not an acceptable answer.
It makes me afraid to love, afraid to attach myself to those who surround me, and afraid to make my life a part of someone else’s for fear of hurting them. For three years, I tried to keep everything to myself because of a four lettered word; fear. Fear causes actions, actions cause reactions. The action of losing someone caused me to attempt to hold everything inside.  Until I was reminded that life is a journey with a purpose of learning…..with ups, downs and maybe even some upside down circumstances. It takes bad times to make you appreciate the good ones. It takes admitting a mistake to realize you have a problem.
No matter the problem, you always have to remember that someone, somewhere always has a bigger issue with more outstanding conditions that are unmatched to your own. Pain is only temporary but pride, promise, and love are forever. Always tell the ones you love how you feel and always provide happiness to yourself and others. Never underestimate the power of the Lord. I’ll never understand hurt or fear but after all it’s just a journey...
