stand up. :]
I spend a lot of time alone.
It’s no big deal, I just do.
At my job I spend 4-8 hours in the back room pretty much to myself.
I spend hours in my truck driving to and from work, friends’ houses, home.
I’m writing this from Sahara at a table by myself, waiting for some friends to come join me.
It doesn’t bother me, I was the only child for the first 75 percent of my life so I spent a lot of time just thinking, keeping myself amused however I could.
I’ve always thought of this as one of my strengths; I don’t need people.
But now it seems as though it is one of my [many] weakness, as I can’t relate to people who are so terribly dependent on other people.
Don’t misconstrue this, I love people, I love you! I love when we are hanging out and poking fun at each other, participating in shenanigans. But I just wish that some people in particular could share the same value of independence that I thrive on. I wish I could share some of my experiences with them, and show them that they don’t truly need this person they miss so much; allow them to truly breath the sigh of relief that they so desperately need.
If you’re reading this right now, if you’re hurting, leave your baggage behind. Put it down, and walk away. Open your eyes and accept the beauty that God has given us all. It’s right in front of you, all you have to do is accept it into your life. Accept the fact that nothing you can do now or for the rest of your life can change the past. You have things that make you remarkable, so take these things and share them with the people you love. Shine.
I want you to indulge in every experience to the fullest extent. Noooooo children, I’m not saying go get wasted. I’m saying go out and have memorable experiences that you will never forget. Get to know the people you surround yourself with as well as you can. No, their birthday doesn’t matter, horoscope is bullshit and how many siblings they have is irrelevant. Find out about them at their brightest moments, and also at the darkest, deepest points in their lives. If you care about someone, love them despite their faults. Embrace their flaws and if they disappoint you, or let you down, forgive them. If you truly value their friendship, you’ll let it go and learn from the experience.
I know I’m not the only person that feels like they’re at a rut in their lives. It’s fine to feel stuck, or at a stand still. In tough times you have the opportunity to find out who you truly are as a person.
What you need to do, right now, is stand up. Get inspired. Surround yourself with the people that are passionate. They don’t have to have the same interests as you, but as long as they have a desire to better themselves, then they are good company. I hate to say it, but try to develop a talent for recognizing when someone has no drive, no motivation. You can’t expect to accomplish your hopes and dreams if you hang out with losers.
Please… Please don’t give up on your ambitions. Drop the doubt you have harbored for so long, and do something that will make you proud of yourself. You don’t have to save the world, you merely have to make a difference. Whether it's your life or someone else's, make a difference.
