LOOSE LEAF NOTES #1
I have been 25 years old for about a week now, and I can already feel myself move permanently from adolescence into full-on adulthood. I have been introspective lately, pondering to seek my flaws to improve myself. But, I have maintained an optimistic outlook throughout this entire process thus far. I know that I am not perfect, nor do I expect myself to be. I merely want to become a more mature person and leave the teenage bullshit behind me. I've had my sunshine in the moment, now it's time to enjoy childhood by looking through my son's eyes. My son is my inspiration for all that I am, and all that I want to be. He has taught me that life may not always be fair, but with love and acceptance of self, life can and should be enjoyed. Being a grown-up doesn't mean that fun times are over, it only means that I am now old enough to fully appreciate the joy and beauty, pain and anguish that life in this world has to offer. Because joy heals spirits, beauty thrills souls, pain prunes hearts and anguish strengthens characters. And all of those experiences will improve the entire person and help them to overcome any obstacles and teach how to be a well-rounded individual to themselves. Never to seek outside approval - only to look inward and allow total and complete acceptance therein. That is the #1 reason that I must learn - to stop trying to mold myself into what I think the world needs me to be, but rather love myself as myself, and only change and correct myself for myself. No one else can do this for me - this is my own quest.
And that same philosophy could be used for and by anyone, should they personally choose that course. It will not be easy, but the rewards and blessings acquired along the way are infinite and grand!
