I can honestly say that 2022 has been one of the most difficult years of my life. Just when I thought I was going to be able to stand back up, a tsunami comes in and wipes everything out. Through the currents life has definitely taught me a few lessons. No matter how bad life becomes, another day will start tomorrow. I have learned that regardless of the relationship you have with family or your parents, you will miss them when they are gone. The problems you had them will seem minuet and unprofound when all you are left with is grief and sorrow. I have learned that grief does not have to be hidden and untouched. In order to heal, you have to feel. I have learned you can not like work, work you and be your life. No matter how hard you try to distract yourself, your emotions will be waiting for you at the door. I have learned that no matter how bad you may be feeling inside, you should not lash out at others for it. It does no good to add pain to others, it does not change what you are feeling. I have learned that not all people in the world are bad. There is still hope and humanity in the world.

Ultimately, I have learned that there is always an opportunity to start again tomorrow and see the light again!
