Mixed Messages

Life is so full of the unknown.
It's full of questions and halfway answers or none at all.
We are constantly guessing where our lives are going to take us or where we will end up.

Life just loves giving us mixed messages, like messing up the signals your crush is sending you, thinking he's flirting, yet in reality he's just being friendly.

How do we read these messages correctly, how do we get them to be more clear?
Truly, there is no real answer to this, again making this wonderful path we must walk down, even more absurdly difficult.

We must constantly choose, make choices, and be defined by everything we do, even though at some moments, we have no idea whether our choices will end up turning out for the good.
We fall, we get back up and we try again. Falling harder the next time and so on.

I seem to picture my own life lately as a consistent hole I'm trapped in, unable to get out because the walls are too high and I'm just going to end up back down there anyway.
But what I'm seeming to realize, is that it's more about your mindset and how you perceive things.
Yes, not everything is going to be fine and dandy all day every day and yes you're going to feel sad and lonely and vulnerable a lot but that doesn't mean there is no way out.

So instead of just being in a pit, stuck. It's more of being stuck in a pit and all along, there's been a ladder sitting next to you, available for your use if and when you need it. It's up to you to decide whether or not it's what you want.

Do you want to be stuck down in that hole forever or are you going to pull that ladder up and get yourself out.

The hardest part is understanding that you make your destiny, no matter good or bad, lonely or surrounded.
These mixed messages can lead us one way or another, but no matter what we choose, we have to live with it and we have to keep going. It can still be turned around if it was the wrong step down the path, but if you stick with it, you better be ready for some more obstacles. Always.
There will always be obstacles.

Life doesn't end until you do. So live it, live it will, and live it to the best of your ability. That's all you really can do.

Just a reminder. Mostly for myself.
