Your Reminder to Never Give Up

One of the reasons I started this blog is to help people, even if that just means making them smile while reading my post. I also want to say thank you to everyone who takes the time out of their day to read my blog! In today’s post I want to remind everyone to never give up.

If you’re going through something right now just remember it’s temporary. Everyone on social media post themselves living their best life and I’m sure a lot of people look at my instagram and think I have a perfect life, which is far from the truth. I have so much to be grateful for and I am very lucky, but I have definitely had some tough times. Everyone has gone or is going through something, and at the end of the day we’re all human. There has been so many times in my life where I have felt like giving up and have, only to regret it later. But the times I decided to stay strong and not give up I’m always rewarded in one way or another, even if it was just proving to myself I could do it.

I truly believe that everything in life happens for a reason and when things don’t go my way I try my best to look at it as a learning experience. I encourage you guys to never give up on your dreams no matter how crazy they are! Ever since middle school, it was my dream to live in Hawaii at some point in my life. I had no clue when or how it was going to happen, but I never gave up on that dream and I made it happen. However, when I got home I went through a bit of a funk and definitely didn’t feel like myself. I was working a job I hated and most of my friends were away at college. What really helped me was training with my dad and sister for lifeguard competitions. It was something new and exciting that I got to look forward to. I finally competed at my first competition back in May and had so much fun! So if you’re feeling down in the dumps, I recommend trying a new hobby.

Thank you for reading and my DM’s are always open for anyone who might need someone to talk to! Also, don’t forget to check out my last blog post if you missed it, Top 10 Things to do on the Big Island.
