Life
So 2010 is looming over our heads...and I don't really know what to say. I guess that isn't completely true, otherwise I wouldn't be posting a ridiculous blog on the subject. I don't feel like the year is over for some reason..maybe because I don't have cable so I'm not watching all the tv shit summing up 2009. But here we are a mere couple days away from the first day of the new year...
For me, 2009 was a year of learning. Also of acceptance, accepting myself and really learning to accept others. Before this year I really thought I tried to accept other people...but after this year I realized that I was no where near really accepting others. I learned that accepting other people means trying to see things from their worldview..something I am learning to do thanks in large part to my counseling program. Accepting other people is trying to get alongside them and really see what their seeing, not just looking at the situation and making all these assumptions, all these judgments. It's so hard to do and a constant struggle for me, but I am trying and becoming a better person for it.
There are a million walks of life, a million ways to be, a million choices one can make. Who's to say what I'm choosing is right? It may be right for me but completely wrong for someone else. Just as another person's life may be completely wrong for me but totally fit them. With all the diversity in this world there can be no right way to live. Maybe some essential characters, like I think everyone should have some kind of happiness, but no defining rules. That is what is so amazing about life, there's a billion different things to discover, a billion things to always do, a billion ways to be.
