the year in review
1)the journey towards greatness is akin to a walk through the forest. it rarely occurs in a straight forward manner, rather it has many twists and turns. and if one is not careful, one may forget where they entered and where they hope to leave. in life, we all fight for one thing or another. some purposes are noble while others are selfish. the trick is in remembering why we struggle.
2)although its common belief, many people mistake sadness for a bad thing. after all, how would you be able to appreciate happiness if you had nothing to contrast it to? many people try to pop some sort of figurative pill when they`re sad. and thats a great mistake in my opinion. we don't grow when things are fine and peachy. it takes soul searching and dare i say pain for us to look within ourselves and see more than ....(just got interrupted. i.o.u the rest;))
3)a moment of beauty, when artificially maintained, loses its essence and ceases to be unique
often times we expend far too much energy trying to maintain something whose best days are long past
perhaps then the trick to life is to go with the flow
experience has taught me that good times rarely last
but mercifully the same can be said of the hard times
so perhaps then it IS acceptable to let go of past pains
perhaps it IS possible to unburden oneself of baggage long overdue
perhaps it IS possible to accept that some things can't be changed
perhaps then we can move on to a future brighter than we have ever imagined
I'll let you guys know how it works out-Lee
4)For such a long time now, I've been struggling to keep things in my life from changing. I thought that I had finally found a place where I could be happy. However, as of late, I've been realizing that change is as inevitable as the cycle of the tides. Imagine the most beautiful note that you have ever heard. Now imagine that this note could be held forever. The beauty that once made up that note would eventually fade into noise. Its the notes found before and after said note that allow us to appreciate the song. Its not one note that we're listening for, rather its the change of notes that allow us to appreciate the melody. Thats music...thats life...
5)Ever since I first started noticing girls, I've had this vague notion about who and what I consider to be "the one" to be. I've always thought that "the one" would bring out the best in me. She would challenge me in every way. She would fill all the missing parts in my life. And whenever I was with her I would feel like a million butterflies were swarming in my stomach. In short I would want to become a better man for her. Now that I've become a grown adult, I see that I must look within myself for all of these things. And perhaps instead of becoming a better man for her,I would become a better man because of her.
