You’re life changes. Oftentimes we are left speechless by how quickly these altercations can emerge.
It happens everyday, though. Weather we recognize the evolution or not, an altercation, if not many, that directly effect us will be made each day.
Resulting from an introduction or a conclusion. Whether it’s a relationship, an experience, a discovery, an idea, a goal, or a life, even.
Not every change is significant and we won’t always remember them.
But I think the ones we do remember are the ones that change us. Learning from the past changes us. Our past is what makes us.
With maturity comes balance, growth, and wisdom. What we don’t learn from the past, we are bound to repeat. And many times, the things that teach us, are the things that are completely out of our control. Maybe it’s observing someone else’s mistake, maybe it’s someone we lose, or it could be something that we go through...something that happens to us rather than because of us. Our decisions and the effects that follow are not always our greatest teachers - though they leave a mark in our past, I think that what we can’t control can oftentimes, teach us more.
Because those are the things that make us appreciate more.
When we lose someone we love, we come appreciate the ones we still have even more. If our relationships are jeopardized, we gain a higher gratitude for the time spent with those people. And when our time here on earth comes into question, we recognize the preciousness of life.
Life isn't perfect like a script. And it usually doesn’t turn out the way we plan. But all we can do is take it as it comes. Because time waits for no one and what we can’t control, we can only accept.
