Hold On

Dear Readers,

This past Saturday I went over to a friends home to have dinner. It was wonderful! They made a lemon chicken, with black pepper asparagus, and this delicious type of rice that I don't quite know what was in it. Haha 

It was so fun to just catch up and enjoy one another's company and it was much needed. After dinner we played Super Smash Bros. and Super Mario Kart. Now I haven't played a video game in a long time, since I was about twelve years old to be exact and I am now twenty-one. It was still fun though and that is what it is all about, right? After we made custom milkshakes. It was so good. It had a vanilla bean ice-cream base and then we added our own things to make it unique. I put in chocolate sauce and an orange liquor... it tasted SO good! It reminded me of those chocolate oranges that you can get at Christmas time.  

After, we watched a movie. At the end of the movie the song "Hold On" by Wilson Phillips played and it has been stuck in my head ever since. In a good way though. I never really listened to the lyrics in this song before but they are so powerful. Here are some of the lyrics that really stick out to me: 

"Don't you know things can change

Things'll go your way

If you hold on for one more day

Can you hold on for one more day

Things'll go your way..." 

These past couple of days have been really stressful for me and emotional. I know there are much worse things going on the world then the little things I am stressing about but they are huge to me and my life. I am a huge believer in God and I know that He knows my pain, just like I know he knows each of yours. I am so thankful to know we are never alone and that when we focus our energy on the positive the positive will come to us. 

I guess what I am trying to say is to hold on. Hold on to the light at the end of the tunnel and never forget that things will get better because you are simply amazing and life is so awesome and beautiful! So please find joy in the little things and surround yourself with those who will lift you up and not push you down. 

Love, 

Nathan
