It seems like every year life or God or whoever is trying to teach me something new. Lately they haven’t been very nice in the way of their teachings. Many things have happened to make me really question myself. I would like to think of myself as a confident person, but things were really not going my way. Through all my over analyzing I reached a state of mind I could be comfortable with….

Some of the best aspects in life are paired with some of the worst. With success comes failure, with joy comes pain, with love comes hatred and with wins comes losses..only focusing on why the outcomes of my life were the worst made me lose sight of myself. i realize now (I think?), that i must surrender to these extremes, because if the contrast of these pairs were lost, i would lose appreciation, and when you lose appreciation, you lose the value of everything..

Hello world!

Ever since I was young, I have always had so many ridiculous things that go through my head. Sometimes I find my thoughts very enlightening and sometimes I find them retarded. All in all, I need a place to post my thoughts. The main reason for this blog is because I think a lot of people might think the same as me on several topics. It would be nice to have some feedback on the crazy things that goes on up there. Anyways, hope you enjoy. Welcome to iLL’s story!
