Devastation

I know that in life there will be sickness, devastation, disappointments, heartache - it's a given. What's not a given is the way you choose to get through it all. If you look hard enough, you can always find the bright side. Rashida Jones

There is a level of devastation that comes when you find out that what you believed is true is not true. You knew that something was wrong and you went through a BUNCH of scenarios trying to figure out what was wrong. You loved yourself.. You hated yourself. Then miraculously... out of the blue ... a major discovery of the truth manifests ... mind you, it is not the whole truth ... but it is enough to be devastating. It can change how you think of what you were told. It changes what you feel and it can really change WHO you ARE. 

This is life. Life is a series of cross-fortunate events. Cross-fortunate  means that in the morning everything is good. In the afternoon everything is bad and at lunch you both laugh and cry . Life makes us act like confused babies. You know, when they laugh and cry at once. 

Life is continually our ultimate challenge. We get one life. We can live it well. We can live it poorly or we can just LIVE IT!
