Better Days & Getaways

When you move far away from the only thing you consider home, it's a real test. A test of time, tolerance, and will. This is test that I have chosen to partake in. To move far away, for a period of time, to build myself and my career. It was one of the hardest decisions I had to make. The last thing you want to do when you make a hard decision is regret it or constantly try to remember why you chose this path. When the rewards are not equal to the efforts, nothing makes sense anymore and things start to become blurry. I started questioning my choices. I know that this is a very beneficial and a useful experience for me, it will help me grow in many ways. But it definitely gets hard. The workload is intense, the staff plays a game of dirty politics and the children are just, so horrible. When you get used to something shitty that's happening on a constant basis, you become desensitized, you lose interest, and it becomes a "chore". Unfortunately it's not in my perso...

We go to school to receive education, education that will further us in our future endeavours and hopefully one day, be a light in our path of success. But what we don't consider is the type of education we are receiving. Who will teach us the more important things in life? Such as patience, tolerance, perseverance, and acceptance. Who's going to teach us how to get along with one another? One of the most important things in life you learn. I understand that our experiences shape us to how we react to others and whether we give them our time, but should that be the only thing? No. It's funny, because when I think about it, it becomes very apparent that life is pretty straightforward. Minus the people. After all, guns don't kill people, people kill people. Differences, time, complications don't break friendships, people break friendships. I would have never thought about this in my early years, but man, i can think about this now. The hardest lesson in life that you ...

I think "I miss you" is overrated. What is it about people that we can really miss? They're constantly changing. Their past self is different from their current self. So, assuming we miss the other person when there is no contact, we must miss their past self. Because who knows if their present self is the same or completely different. There's a few people in my life in which I have no idea. Even if I wanted to answer, i would not be able to tell you what they were up to. I find this actually shocking...I mean, I'm in a time period where everything is so easily accessible online, "stalking" is facilitated, but I have no contact with these people and would not know how to even "know what theyre doing". Isn't that sad? Is it not so much of a wakeup call that there will be people in your life like this. I guess being anti social media has its disadvantages.

6. You don't have to wait for an apology to forgive. Life gets much easier when you learn to accept all the apologies you never got. The key is to be thankful for every experience-positive or negative. It's taking a step back and saying "Thank you for the lesson." It's realizing that grudges from the past are a perfect waste of today's happiness, and that holding one is like letting unwanted company live rent free in your head. Forgiveness is a promise, one you want to keep. When you forgive someone you are making a promise not to hold the unchangeable past against your present self. It has nothing to do with freeing a criminal of his or her crime, and everything to do with freeing yourself of the burden of being an eternal victim. ...no.
