Struggles and regrets: we all have them

So school started a week ago, I'm now a junior! This past week has killed me already and I am already so stressed! So I hope some of you are doin better than me haha! Anyway today I'm gonna talk about struggles. Trust me we all have them. From depression to family members getting hurt. We all have things that happen to us and we don't understand it. This summer my great uncle died. He was a grandfather to me and it's hard to picture the world with out him! He was a faithful person and he loved his family. That was and is still a stuggle for me. For those of you that have older sibling(s) that just graduated in 2016, and are now moving into college, it's hard to watch them go right? I mean you have lived with them your whole life and then all of a sudden they aren't  there. I promise they will come back. They are family and they love you. Struggles. We hate them but they are what make us human. I was talking with one of my best friends today and we were talking about something that had happened to me in my past and she told me "you shouldn't hate yourself for the rest of your life, and whatever happened in the past happened but you're sorry for it so forgive yourself and stop thinking about it. God is soo forgiving" and I agree with her. If you did something that you can't forget and you keep blaming yourself, well all I can say to you is you also need to learn to forgive your self, it's the only way you can move on. Ask God for help, cause like my friend told me, He is so forgiving. Struggles and regrets. We are all human we mess up. It's our nature. Can we change it? Yeah of course! You don't want to grow up and look back on your life and regret everything. So go out there  listen to God and yeah you will have bumps along the way but a least in the end you'll be happier. So struggles and regrets we all have them. Let's learn to forgive our selves.
