The truth about life
When I was a little girl, I'd fantasize about my future and how it would all occur. I'd picture the man of my dreams, our wedding, the children we'd have and so forth. In my dreams I was always happy because everything I wanted always came true. And with each wake I'd come to the realization that alas, it was all a dream.
When I was a teen I fantasized a lot more and I'd always be let down. When I finally got my first boyfriend I realized quickly how our dreams are always the way we want them to be, because we choose it.
I didn't know much truth about life that is, until I moved away from Texas at the age of 21, to a faraway land that I like to call Las Vegas. Such a drastic change from the rolling hills and winding roads that existed throughout my hometown.
When I stepped foot in the bright light city of "sin" I knew that my life would forever change. I didn't know how or when or even why it would, but I knew without a doubt,that who I was at that very moment, would change forever as well.
The truth about life is simple, yet so many of us take a while to get to it, or have trouble finding it along the way. I'm 25 and I'm just now coming to terms with the truth of life. Yet in many ways, I know that as I age, the truth will probably change and I accept that.
I've learned that worrying too much never gets you anywhere, and that doing so, cuts short our true life, drastically. I've learned that life never gets easier, it only becomes more bearable and understandable to the soul. I've learned that love will always be tricky, hard, constantly changing, beautiful and well earned. To fear love is to fear life, and if you fear life, how can you ever live?
I feel more blessed today, in spite of all the obstacles I've travelled through in life, because I want to live. Somedays all I want to do is sleep in and be by myself. Other times I expect too much from those I love. That's the truth about life though, expecting too much robs you of the beauty that is always right in front of your eyes. The simplicity of living is always in our hands and knowing that we control how we live, means more to me now than ever before.
I'm finally in a place of true contentment and peace. With fear buried deep down in the ground, I look to the exact moment I am in now, lying on my bed, with my favorite guy and pup, right next to me. I live for the moment instead if living for tomorrow. I realize that the little things in life are worth getting over and the things that always matter the most are worth holding onto.
I am happy!!
