Quote - "Fully alive, more than those ready to smile, and love life, Fully Alive now she knows how to believe in futures." - Flyleaf



I live this quote. I won't say that I've had the hardest life ever but, it hasn't been very easy at all. Sometimes I question why it had to be me, but i realize that I'm not alone, and that all these things make me stronger. I never realized how strong I was till this weekend. I went over a so-called friends house to hang out. There has lately been a lot of drama surronding me and her but thats another story..... I have no idea what this girl told her mother about me but the entire time I was there her mother was sooo rude to me. She cut me off when I was talking, she would make rude comments about me behind my back to her daughter, and pretty much was going out of her way to make me feel uncomfortable and unwelcomed in her home. It took a lot of strength for me to take it in such stride. I know for a fact that if her daughter were in the same position she would have cracked under the pressure they were putting on me. However I've been through worse, I handled it with as much grace and respect as I could possibly show and vowed to never come back to her house again. I realized the true meaning in the quote. Who knows how I would have reacted to that whole situation if I wasn't already used to it. Not only did that situation make me realize how strong mentally I was but it also made me even stronger. I am Fully Alive and more alive than those who've had it easy and never experienced true pain or hurt. Through all of my experiences I have learned how to handle the future. In all my struggles I have learned how to how to be mature when others aren't, how to not follow the crowd, and how to love myself in spite of what others may think. I think that would qualify me as Fully Alive.
