In this post, I challenge you. Where were you in September? Who were you? Where are you now? Think back to your friends, are they new, have they developed? Are you happy? Why? Why not?
When I look out the window on nights where it's truly winter, the white snow is so far from the orange sun and blue skies of august. It scares me how fast this semester has gone. And like my summer tan, the person I left as, has faded and someone new is becoming. But thats a result of the simple fact that life doesn't stop, ever. Still, I wish I could freeze time and hold onto this. This feeling of completely giving myself to the journey, walking the path with out question. Once you've let yourself do that, the things you will find are astonishing.
Just cause this hasn't been anything I expected or asked for, it was huge for me. I really don't know if any other period of time in my life will ever be as vital and clearly changing for me, but, I mean, I didn't expect this so that doesn't say much. The clock is still ticking, it always will be, even when were done here. Our time is just a minute in the bigger picture and these experiences mere seconds on our clock. Just because I don't always love or connect with those around me, I do what I love and I am becoming a person I love. That's enough for now. I've built a handful of relationships that go further than the surface and their value to me is greater than I thought I could hold. But the person I have become and am in the process of becoming has the potential to do a lot of things I didn't think were possible before. We are capable of many things when we develop into the person were supposed to be. The best of yourself is reachable when you let yourself just be and live and do. This is part of the journey. Don't fight your journey just live it, let it take you where it may because where ever that is, is exactly where your supposed to be.
So, this time...
Top 5...things that make you love the person you are and are becoming
1. My love for children.
2. My want to make a difference.
3. My unique way about relationships.
4.My loveeeeee for the journey.
5. The value I place on every aspect of my being and of my life.
What's yours...
