Week 10: Both Sides

Every story has two sides to it. On occasion, it'll have multiple sides. Therefore, we need to make sure to get our facts straight. Talk to people. Don't be afraid. Find out what's really going on. Life is too short to spend it confused. So clear the air. If things aren't how they seemed, change them or move on. There is no use in being sad about the past or angry or bitter etc. I honestly believe that dwelling on the past is a cop-out; a way to escape or avoid the inevitable future. I have wasted a lot of time on hind sight issues. Time to make the future I want.

There were a few things that I really wanted to talk about in this post, but I am really having a hard time putting them in words. Maybe it's because these things are frustrations that I've had over the past week and I know that it does no good to focus my life on my problems. But I must say that looking on the bright side is tough. When everything in your life seems like it just isn't quite what you dreamed it to be, you tend to focus on the bad. But once again I say, What about the good? I guarantee there is plenty of good in your life. That one thing that makes each day bearable. I've mentioned my family before, but now I will talk about my friends. They keep me going. I was blessed all through my life with friends that lift up and encourage and never drag me down. Sometimes I feel like I'm the dragger, but I really do thank them for all they've done for me.

Time is a funny thing. I seem to have none but too much of it at the same time. I know our lives can get hectic, but I am a FIRM believer that we really can and will make time for those or the things that truly matter to us. Being too busy is merely a state of mind. This isn't to say that we have time for EVERY thing; that's illogical. However, we will have time for the important ones. Call me crazy for thinking and believing that, but it's true.

Without giving too much of a peek into my personal life I will say that I'm not perfect. Nor do I expect to be. I'm quick to close my book sometimes. I consider that to be one of my major downfalls and the main thing that I am working. Don't close your book on me, I'm trying to be better. As I said last week, I know where I want to be in life and I plan to take all the necessary steps to achieve that goal. It's what's been taught to me for my entire life. It's crazy, after everything that has happened I always go back to the basics. That's what really matters.

Don't grow up too fast, but when it's time, it's time. Face life with courage and the knowledge that it goes on no matter what. Don't fight that currant.

Until next week.
