i've been thinking about...

change. it happens a lot. so why are we so afraid of it? why don't we embrace it? why can't we just look at it as a new challenge or an adventure. or a learning experience. people change. not always for the better but then again its not necessarily for the worst. they just change. they're different. maybe its good for them. maybe they're finally acting like themselves. maybe we need to give them a chance and room to grow. and change whenever they want. if its wrong they'll change back...eventually. if they have love and support from their family and friends. our opinions about things change too. they way we look at things and people. most of this change happens when we experience something big. the decisions we make will change us forever, but the things we learn from the decisions are important life lessons. we don't have time machines to go back in time and fix everything we'd like to. so why don't we just accept life as it is and try to do better in the future. instead of mulling over things in the past. thinking about things and regretting them doesn't change anything.just makes you miserable. when we realize things aren't as easy as we thought, theres no reason to feel hypocritical about it. why not just come to an understanding about it and and use what you've learned to help others. things are never as messed up as we make them seem. we over complicate everything. sometimes we need to just relax and not think so much.go to church spend some time in adoration. take it slow. have time alone in silence so you can think and be open with yourself without distractions. pray and trust He hears you. live and know He sees you. cry and know He's there for you. trust Him with all your heart, body, mind and soul. mess up and know He forgives you if you ask him to. laugh and know it brings Him joy. love the people around you like He loves you.

recently someone told me that i'm wise beyond my years and they don't know what they'd do without me. but really i'd be nowhere without their advice and input in my own life, the love and understanding and that they give to me. so unconditionally. i'm blessed to have them in my life.
