Finding the pathway.

I find the older I get the easier it is to see flaws in others and potential lessons to learn. It seems whenever I get ahead of myself and humbleness takes a backseat, I relive what I had laughed at. "I can't believe they can't do that." "I can do that better than them." It's embarassing to admit that I think this to myself when someone is not getting it as easily as myself. Whatever they were struggling with, I seem to be in the same position. It is amazing to feel one with the world, the giant, messy cycle of it all and the nothing that gives it a chance to thrive. Feeling in the philosophical mood, i decided to post this. If there really is a life after this, how will we use our time? Creating families, or becoming a learned scholar, or not worrying. What will we take with us and what will we leave behind. As a goal for myself, I want to leave behind empty space. I want to leave behind the negative energy that ways one down. But how does one potentially move forward? Forward is sooooo subjective, even happy feelings can be caused by consuming something we know isn't good for us. Whatever it is, I hope you find it and it brings you a good turn.

I remember being on the brink of adulthood, heading off to school and thinking that I was really starting to figure things out about this life. Now I'm a wife and a mother and it's right back to square one. Life is such a process of discovering that the more we learn, the less we know. The only thing I know for sure is that every day presents a new challenge, we have to choose to find joy in our present situations, even on the hard days. I hope you find joy in knowing that so many people, although we may be a little crazy, love you. And please don't turn into an EMO! Think deep, but stay away from all the black!
