Butterflies and Bullshit

by Natalie Newman

Have You Lost Your Mind Yet?If you have then congratulations. It's about time, you needed to lose it. It's your independence day. You're not alone, because we are all crazy. Not until we are lost can we really find ourselves. All of us are here trying to figure out life and losing our minds doing it. Life is a tragedy for those who feel and a comedy for those who think. I'm strong because I've known my weaknesses. I laugh because I've known sadness. I'm wise because I've been foolish. I am alive because I'm a fighter. Live without fear, confront all obstacles, and know that you can over come them. You should dream what you want to dream, go where you want to go, and be what you want to be. You only have one life and one chance to do all the things you dream of. The ONLY job you are here to do on Earth is be yourself. Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger. Don't pray for tasks to equal your powers. Pray for powers to equal your tasks. You may not end up where you want to be, but you will end up where you are supposed to be, even if you don't like it. Life is a roller coaster. You can choose to scream the entire time or enjoy the ride. We are all here for the human experience. So enjoy the experiences of everything good and bad. I have learned to embrace life with everything it sends. Please don't run from it, but try to learn from it and become better. I've found if you love life, it'll love you back. Peace, Love and Hugs Natalie Newman
