| The rose pictured above is to represent you growing in the most rockiest of places. Withstanding all of your surroundings by still being who your suppose to be. Growing past what people think you can be. |
Lately, I’ve been feeling very weird. And not your normal weird feeling where it’s uncomfortable. I mean weird as in my perspective along with my lifestyle, physical appearance, and circumstances are changing. Am I ready for all the changes? Partially. It’s such an adjustment.
I mean I’m ready for the things God has in store for me, but how ready am I?
It saddens me from time to time knowing that a year from now I’ll be going off to college where I’ll be pursuing everything I’ve wanted to do with my life. Being away from family, and friends who feel like family will be something new for me. (Especially for a long period of time) Don’t get me wrong, this was what high school was for. All those long nights of studying, and early mornings in classes that didn’t have much to do with what I actually want to do. It was all a part of the process. But was the process so prominent in my life to where I can’t move on?
These stepping stones that we’re lead across throughout our lives can be painful. Sometimes you may skin your knee or stub your tough, but we still always wind up on the other side of things.
I feel weird because life as I think I know it is going to change. I will no longer be a teenager, I’ll be a young adult in a world that won’t always be fair or just.
But that’s just the thing. Life was never promised to be fair or easy. We’re just given it as if we’re always going to know exactly what to do. Your going to fail. Multiple times, and miserably for some of those times. You are going to disappoint yourself, and others over circumstances you didn’t even think you could get yourself in to. So don’t beat yourself up about the things you can’t control or change. Forgive yourself, learn from your mistakes, and try to do better the next time.
Some things that don’t go your way were meant to not go your way.
Responsibility can also be something new for a lot of people. It’s one of those things that’s both exciting & nervewrecking. You’re now responsible for yourself, living on your own or with someone new, and supplying all of your own needs. This is a lot for anyone to handle, guy or girl. Is it scary moving away from everything you know & love? Definitely! Yet, is it actually worth growing in to the person your meant to be? Absolutely! Don’t let people who say they want the best for you talk you out of your dreams; for the people that do support your dreams, remember there. Love them. Let them know that you support them to, and help them with things that will get them where they’re intended to be as well.
Cherish every moment you have now with your family & friends, and remember that all the things you do from here on out are setting you up for bigger and better things for the rest of your life.
You just watch.
Always a pleasure to share with you, thank you.
