Time to Relax
Heya Everyone. The past couple weeks have been pretty stressful for everyone involved. I had a big part in that too, although I had good intentions. But in the process I hurt people's feelings, each in different ways. The thing is though, I don't really know what I was trying to prove. I just wanted everyone to be honest with everyone about everything. It may not have been my place, but I saw the pain mounting up in people. And I asked for people's advice and I went from there. I really have the perception that the world is black and white, there is always a right and wrong. But the world is gray, more gray than anything else. It may not have been my place, but I had good intentions...
Moving on. I was driving home from work today and I heard on the radio Five for Fighting - 100 Years. You may think lame, but it really got me thinking. Certain songs really have a tendency of doing that in me. My past and my present are all swirling around in my head. My successes, my failures, my mistakes all have different meaning, but are equally important. Most of my life my world has been centered around a 2 mile radius. Elementary, junior high, and high school all pretty close to each other. Reber, Dur-Moll, Mary Ann all pretty close as well. The Howell's, Wingett's, and Keeton's equally close. Well some of us at least. We have all had our issues with each other and we have always been able to work them out. And I have no doubt we will again, it will just take some time.
I have slowly been realizing that you can't make decisions for other people. Everyone will live and learn just the same. It may take more time for people to learn things, but we all have been there just the same. I have a tendency to have a "Holier Than Thou" attitude a lot of times when I think I'm right. People that know me best know it's one of my faults. I think, "Hey I wouldn't do that, neither should they", but it's time to relax, time for people to find out for themselves. Advice is great especially when it's great advice, but you can't shove things down people's throats.
In closing. I've been kind of not myself lately. Too many highs and lows, not enough middle ground. It's time to get back to my easy-going, satisfied with what life throws my way, happy self. I think it's time for everyone to relax, to stop going back and forth with each other. We all know what happened, we can't go back and change it, but we can move on from it. Life sucks sometimes, but we can't just stop living, and if we have something to say, just say it. I believe life travels in circles and it will come full circle again. And when it does I'll be there for whoever needs me. Thank you all for reading and God Bless.
