It amazes me of the things, feelings, outcomes and so much more that can come into effect just from one situation. One real, just, significant situation. My eyes have opened to realize what Life is really all about, and while that might sound superficial because I’m a young woman with so much more growing up to do, I find that fact to be very much more than true. In just so little time, I can suddenly recognize how genuinely loving many people can be, how malicious some can be, and how that makes me feel at the end of the day. How could I have possibly been blind to so much emotion - positive or negative? I can honestly admit, at a point in time I’ve kept myself in my own world, where what I say goes or nothing at all. And in so many ways of trying to express myself on that note, I have the confidence and humility to say, “I was wrong.”




I used to dread those three innocent words, but I’ve learned that knowing and accepting to admit when I’ve been at fault has ultimately shown me how much I’ve grown up so far. I know a lot of people still fear the acceptance of knowing how to express it themselves. It’s a fear of admitting one was wrong because it could seem as if their character has somehow tarnished, when in fact, it has unquestionably revealed a good, honorable individual. I feel from after learning how to overcome and climb over such a restraining pedestal, I can receive the respect I deserve and from there, move on and start new beginnings. The right way. The unselfish way.



Some people never pay attention to what occurs in their everyday lives until that one significant situation has them step back, pause, and in some way, relive many moments that have been overlooked, to finally discover and soak in the type of person they were at that very moment. Personally, I think I can speak on the behalf of others and myself when I say that I wish I could go back into time and about-face any heart quenching junctures. Only to have fixed the hurt and pain I may have caused and to redeem myself as someone who would risk it all to make myself and those involved in my Life…happy.


Love,
Lily
