break the glass
1) i've come more and more into a realization...you can never judge people based on things you see on the surface. 99.9f people do. and i admit very easily that i've been prone to do the same thing. but you know what? that's not what's important. you have to get to the motive of every action. stop looking at people & making assumptions...have you even taken a moment to sit down and ask them why they are doing what they do? it could open your eyes to a world of possibilities you'd never considered. we're so stuck in our habits and ways of thinking that we never get a chance to step outside our little box. it's time to break the glass. open your eyes...stop being so judgemental...take a little time to look at another perspective aside from your own.
2) kind of along the line of the whole being judgemental aspect....you know whats funny? i used to look at certain people and dismiss their passions right away as something ridiculous and not worth my time or respect. my passion is piercing. i'm no better or cooler than the person who's passion is collecting butterflies. a passion is a passion and if someone is truly pouring their heart and soul into something they love...more power to them. no matter what it is. get off your high horse for a second and give people the respect they deserve. it doesn't matter if it interests you or not. respect.
3) for the first time in my life, i feel truly content and grounded. to say that i've made changes over the past months would be a huge underestimation. however, i'm still the same strong, driven, independant girl woman i've always been. i still think life is absolutely beautiful no matter what. but yes, i've changed the ways i think and act in alot of different ares...but for the first time, i finally feel completely content and strong enough in who i am not to hide anything from anyone anymore. i am me. judge me or take time to get to know me. because from here on out...i really dont care. and thats a beautiful thing =)
EDIT: i just wanted to say thank you to the people that have been there for me throughout everything & even the ones who have taken the time to argue with me. ;) Will, Kelby, Jeremiah, Amanda, & Britt....thank you. you've all shown amazing friendship to me and i thank you from the bottom of my heart. <3
