Just One More...[LJ Idol Entry]
Looking on this weeks topic I spent about an hour thinking about what I could talk about. Millions of things ran through my head, but I honestly could not pick one. I thought more on it for 2 days, and still could not think of anything. Until this morning.
I am thankful for second chances.
I'm not thankful for much this year, but second chances are something I've been given this year, and by god it is the only thing that got me to where I am right now. I almost entered a life long relationship, I had the ring, the dress, I had what I wanted, but I wasn't happy and I found myself constantly thinking of someone else, whom I have loved for a very long time. I took a chance, and asked him for his heart, once more. We have been together since that fateful day in March. I feel, without this second chance, without his love, I couldn't have accomplished so much of what I sought out to do in the last few years.
I mean, come on, I'm now a High School graduate, thanks to the motivation that I have been given to improve my life vastly. I am finishing up my college applications for the spring semester this afternoon, and with my A Average on my side, now I find I can do anything in that field.
I however, keep having to pray every day for a second chance from my family, which above all else, would make me the most thankful of anything to happen to me. I haven't had a cohesive relationship with them since god knows when. To be able to call home or go on a whim and visit with no frustration, no hidden motives, would be the greatest gift I could receive from God, from them.
Second chances are those little nuggets of gold one can find in the stinky swamp of life. They are hard to attain, but when you do, god, they are beautiful.
So, that's what I'm thankful for most this year. Wish me luck with LJ Idol, for I got a second chance with that, too!
