So why the blog name?

...Just in case some are wondering. I think it speaks for itself. It's only life. Things happen, and that's a fact. You stay up all night writing a paper, and just when you're about to turn it in, your computer crashes and deletes the whole thing. You experience a death in the family. An issue spins out of control and breaks the bonds of friendship. You try so hard to please everyone and be the best you can be, but nothing just seems to be good enough, and you feel like a failure. You're in such a rush to get to where you need to be that you forget something important or you get into an accident. Someone very close to your heart moves far away. No matter what you do, there just doesn't seem to be enough money to pay the bills, the mortgage, or to put food on the table. The person you fully thought you were going to spend the rest of your life with turns their back on you and walks away. Heartaches, tears, annoyances, and frustrations of life...

To me, the title is a reminder that no matter what goes on, and no matter what sort of predicament you're in, hey, chill out, it's only life... It's part of the package, both the good and the bad. I guess you can see those times as the challenges and circumstances that build a person's character. Everyone has their days! And most of the time, there's a lesson to be learned, so go, find it, and move on! The tangible life on this world we see now is nothing compared to the life we were meant to live, after this life is over and done. So when times like these come (and believe me, I know they will), don't hesitate to vent your frustrations, cry, write, release your emotions, break some water balloons, or whatever you choose to do. But after all that is said and done, always remember to breathe, clear your mind, and relax. It's all good... this too shall pass. It's only life!
