I definitely think that our lives can be described by one if not more of the Soap Opera's on TV. You go through stages in your life and moments that definitely make you feel like you are the star!
Current Stage for me would be General Hospital. I have spent so much time over the past 17 months in either a doctors office or a hospital. Although it seems that we are in the soap, we definitely don't get the perks that most soap opera stars get. Miraculous recovery times. Our own rooms. Psycho killers causing the hospital to shut down because they are in love with one of the resident doctors! haha Heck I'm still waiting for Jason Morgan to come to my rescue and either carry me out (what? he's strong enough!) or to provide mouth to mouth resuscitation!!! (Did I really say that!?!?) haha <3 you babe!
It's interesting how when you think about the people in your life, their lives mimic soaps lives too (to a point!). My best friend right now is going through a stage in her life that I would consider part of One Life to Live. Now I am not a watcher of this soap, but just the title really sums it up. We all go through life making exceptions and taking the back seat in our dreams and desires when the situation puts us there, but we need to remember that we all only have One Life to Live. Whether it be that we are in a dysfunctional relationship or trying to get healthy or go back to school or whatever. God gave us one life. Stop looking in the mirror and thinking "What if ..." because time won't go on forever and you do not want to be sitting there when you are 80 years old and look back and think "why didn't I?". You can do it!
Another friend of mine is going through a hard time because she's been separated from her husband and she has been super lonely. Her Soap Opera would be The Young and the Restless. She is a strong strong girl and I think that she just needs to focus on the positive things in her life right now and know that her husband is missing her just as much and to take all of the energy that she has been putting towards being depressed, take that energy and do something for her. Smile when she looks in the mirror and go out and take a stroll. Focus on the next time she gets to see her baby and how hot she is going to look because she's been so active! You can do it!!
And my fiance. My sweet sweet guy. Right now he's been going through a combination of soaps. I'd put him at a cross between General Hospital and Days of our Lives. He has spent a lot of time over the past year either in the hospital or at the doctors office, and now he is trying to figure out how to spend the Days of his life. While I'm sure there is some actress on the program that he would like to come and give him mouth to mouth ... but I will not go into that as it gives me the willies. SO moving on ... I know he is a strong man and the difficulties that he is facing right now are going to make him stronger. He has so many new struggles and so many new hurdles to jump over but I know he can jump those hurdles and handle those struggles. Day by day life will get easier. Day by day those hurdles will get smaller, and at the end of the day I will always be by his side to comfort him when he fails and celebrate with him when he succeeds!! <3
So take a look at your world and tell me ... What Soap Opera are you starring in?
