Reflection on life

Here is a beautiful video tribute to Troy Dixon I found on youtube.



I'm still extremely saddened from his departure. Troy was so young, beautiful, and a very talented individual. He had so much going on in his life; he seemed to have the best of everything. It's such a shame that life can just take us away in an instant, and it's scary how the people we love and know can just be gone like that.

It really makes you think... how fragile we are. We get so caught up with everyday life, and sometimes we don't take the time to stop and appreciate everything we have. It's a busy and crazy world around us, and we try our best to do our part and be somebody. Every individual is different, special, loved and cared for by someone. We all share the same faith. It kinda makes you wonder, what kind of a mark will you leave on others once you're gone. How will you be remembered?

It makes me reflect on my life, and how it's been a real roller coaster ride. I've had very hard times, and very blessed times. I've dealt with a great deal of pain, struggles, victories and losses. If I can sum up my achievements, they wouldn't be many or of great importance; however, I am proud of myself for being strong and for trying my best at life. It happened to me, to have considered giving up on many occasions; feeling overwhelmed, depressed and desperate. But like everything else, things come and go, and you can't always have everything your way. All you can do, is try your best and you'll always have the satisfaction of knowing that you did. There will always be things that are beyond our control. And that in itself is what makes me go on.

I appreciate what life has given me. The good and the bad. Because if it wasn't for all of it, I wouldn't be the woman that I am today.
