Journal #11: Aphorisms

"Anything that does not kill you will make you stronger." That famous aphorisms is said by the great Nietzsche. I think that the aphorism applies to my life because when you really think about it, it is so true. All the troubles that I have gone through and survived, I have only come out more on top. When I think about it, the aphorism just makes sense to me. It makes me appreciate what I have because some people are not as lucky as I am. Recently there has been many car crashes and lots of people have been dying, it makes me really think about how lucky I am every time I get back into my car. Every time someone has made a mistake on the road, I have become stronger, and I have become a better driver because of it. Every time there has been struggles between my family and me, I have become a lot closer to them because we actually have to talk it out. Every time there is a struggle with a guy, I am stronger for the next one. It does not matter what the situation is, I have come out stronger than before. Even when I look at the little things like my grades, I have become a stronger student every year and continue to get good grades. I have become a stronger dancer from practicing and trying. I have become stronger socially. I talk to my friends more and I am not afraid to go up and talk to people I do not normally talk to. Everything that has happened in my past has given me some insight for my future. Everything that has made me stronger is like future advice for me. I need to be lucky for what I have and appreciate that it might be gone. I am one of the lucky ones, and no matter what, the good and the bad have made me a lot stronger today than I was yesterday.
