Change...

Change. It's the only constant we can count on. During the last few months I've grown so much, and it is incredible to step back and look at myself in the process. It has not been easy, and the journey was by no means an easy one, nor is it by any means over.

During the last few months I have been on a seesaw of emotions, discoveries, releasings and mental reconstructions. I have learned that I will never be perfect, might never be what the world considers normal, and that I am strongest when I let myself be weak. I have fought with God, my friends, my demons, and my ego. I have been awakened to the power of being powerless and letting God and the universe be my strength. I have learned that I get much more done in doing nothing, and that it is okay to look stupid.

I have learned that at all times I must be myself. I have learned that in order to get a hold on yourself and your life you must let go of preconceived notions, old hurts, and old  ways of doing things. I have learned that sometimes it is okay to say "I am wrong", "I am sorry", "I do not know".

I have learned to deal with the pain of knowing that my ideas and mind, and the goodness in my heart might never be appreciated by many, and in fact might be scorned, derided and scoffed at by most. I have accepted that I am difficult to deal with. I have accepted that people, in the main, attack you because they themselves have feelings of inadequacy that they are dealing with, and the best way I should treat with this is to understand that we are all on our own trying journeys looking for the answers that lead to fulfillment, happiness and peace.

I have been shown that my vantage point is not the only one in the world, and others might be seeing the same objects I am seeing from a totally different angle - and therefore their view of the same thing is also correct.

I have learned to shut up and to calm down. I have learned to listen.

I am learning that I will never learn all there is to learn, and that to know all that I must know I have to submit myself to the greatest teachers ever - Spirit, God, Nature, and Trust.

I have also learnted that at the very moment when its looks like your life will NEVER be any better, that that is the time God makes it the best it ever was.

I am growing. It is painful. It is a balm. Growth then is in itself both excruciatingly unsettling, yet ultimately reassuring.

I am happy today because I attended a rapso session at Moonlighting pub and met up with some of my old friends who I broke ground with in 2008. It was wonderful.
