When You Feel The Pressure...

I really enjoy watching vlogs, it lets me live vicariously through whoever it is I’m watching lol, but I’ll save that for another post. So I was watching Complex magazine’s vlogs and the dude who does it always closes the vlogs out with some sort of inspiring or encouraging message from either himself or one of his coworkers. So this one dude said “when you feel the pressure, just remember pressure makes diamonds”. It reminded me of my first tattoo...about trials and temptations. That...well they’re a part of life, necessary to prune and shape us into whoever we’re meant to be. It’s something that never ceases to amaze me and remind me that hard times are a part of life...necessary to shape us and give us wisdom, hopefully lol. Hard times and struggles allow us to fail, learn about ourselves and put to practice things we’ve learned from previous failures. I love using the rollercoaster analogy cuz how fun would a rollercoaster that only goes down be? It’s the up that makes the down more enjoyable...similarly in life it’s the failures that make the triumphs and victories so much more sweet. I know I sound like a broken record, but sometimes you just need these simple reminders...that life is going to be hard, and that’s okay...that you’re going to fail smetimes, but that’s okay too. It’s all meant to push you forward in this walk of life...I hope this reaches you well as it did me, till next time...peace.
