My life has been full of struggles and pain. I have wept and I have smiled, I have loved and I have been loved, I have loathed and I have been loathed, I have made rational choices and I have made irrational choices. This is a little poem I wrote
Life is a series of choices...
I am where I am today because of the choices I made yesterday...my future is determined by the choices I make today...
There is no right or wrong choices in life... the answer is dependant upon the situation... embrace your choices and understand there consequences...we can not and should not ever regret our choices in life...they choices we make are the right ones for us... albeit in hindsight that may not always be true, but if we continue to live by hindsight alone, we keep looking back and not forward...
Life is what we make it... live it, love it, embrace it...don’t be scared to ever do anything you want and don’t ever be scared to take what you want from life... life is at our fingertips waiting to be grabbed...waiting to be utilized... if you don’t grab on life will just slip through your fingers and before you know it you will be 80 years old with nothing to show for your life... children who threw you in a nursing home because you no longer serve a purpose to them...because they can’t be bothered caring about someone who doesn’t care about themselves…
In life you should always love to the fullest extent... we may get hurt, but by getting hurt we learn and we grow...we will love, we will be loved...we will hurt others and we will be hurt...but the key to getting through it all, it to remember... we all are humans and we all must live with the choices we make…
I can never forget the hurts inflicted, but I can be the bigger person and forgive them… I can never atone for the wrongs I’ve done, only work towards correcting…we as rational and logical beings have been blessed with the ability to think for ourselves, and we were seen fit to be given free will…
I used to believe in destiny and fate… but they are two sisters as fickle the weather…we must blaze our own path in life and we do that with our choices…sometimes it is right to follow our heads, at others our hearts… but do not get those times confused, because one will lead us to a vastly different place than the other one…whether it be rationality and logic or love and compassion that sways us, we must never forget we are who are by the choices we make…
