There is no rock bottom.

Hello! I have resurrected from the blogging dead and am ready to get back into this shiz. Considering I have been busy flying around like a social butterfly, that can't always be my excuse for not taking some time out and shitting on the world. #JOKING.

If you don't know this by now, Thought Catalog is my go-to blog for great reads. And about a week ago, I came across the best article that sums up how I should view life. And of course, I would read this article during a time where I often question why certain things happen to me. But then again, who doesn't question where their life is headed? Feel like you always get the short end of the stick? Been there. Feel like you think you're headed on the straight and narrow and are really getting somewhere with your life only to find out it was all a big joke and you're back at square one? Ha! Been Lived there. Not sure as to "what you're doing wrong"? Right on the money, because yep, that's happened to me too.

We've all been there.

And I think this article is essentially saying, You're not wrong, you're not lost, you're not spiraling down into some deep, dark abyss and never coming out again. You're stuck momentarily; you've taken a different path for the time being and eventually you'll find your way. Like a fluffly, little sheep. Aww...

The article is hopeful, motivating, and downright true. There is no rock bottom. It doesn't exist. At all. And looking back on all those times where I thought I truly have hit my lowest of lows, I've come to find out I really hadn't. Nor will I ever get to that point. No one will ever hit rock bottom. Everything happens for a reason and I remember one time at work where two of my co-workers caught me crying secretly in my cubicle, they asked me if I was ok. I didn't go into details considering my petty issues were none of their business (Granted, they are great people to work with), I simply responded, "I figured God wouldn't throw these curve balls at me if He knew I wouldn't be able to handle them." But every curve ball that's been thrown my way, I've been able to dodge...slowly but surely. Gracefully? Eh, not quite but I'm getting there.
