So it my 26th birthday and exactly a year since my life took a drastic shift that lead to the amazing adventures I have gotten to experience. I feel closer to my friends and family then ever and have found a new confidence and comfort with myself. My life has come to a place where I have a clear picture of who I am and what I stand for. I don't exactly know where I what to live or what career path to choose but Im learning most people don't ever find peace with those questions. Finally in my mid-twenties I have taken responsibility for my finances and I have a new awareness of the lessons I have learned so far through mistakes and heartbreak. I have found that by not being close minded and well - sorry Grandma for cursing - but a bitch, life goes at a better flow. I know that sounds quite new-agey but I use to have day to day stresses and confrontations with strangers that made life exhausting. Now I try to be polite to strangers and mindful of my impact on others by self actualizing everyday and I get that smile or extra gesture back from someone that lightens both our days. I may have lost you by now but I am going to continue my quarter of a century realization rant...
I have learned that life is not easy, in fact it can be quite hard at times but it also has it moments that are so liberating and awakening. We as humans get to feel such whole emotions like love and happiness but usually only at the cost of experiencing deep pain or anger. We great pain you are able to feel a deeper happiness. Life is simple in the sense that your family, love, and a loyalty to your morals and ethnics define you and can make you complete. Stand by who you are, hoping you are a good person and do good to others and life will flow better. Don't be rude to strangers and be open minded to those different then you. With this and I promise it my last thought, challenge yourself everyday. Do something a little better then the day before. Don't take the easy or comfortable route in life because at the end what will you have learned or experienced? Step out of your norms and try that new food, take that exotic trip, jump off that cliff or even try volunteering because all these things enrich your life experience and make you a more well rounded and stronger person. Life will keep you on your toes but dont forget to live and enjoy the moment.
