A Life Less Ordinary

Something I have thought about recently: If someone has stolen your innocence, anger is natural, grief is expected, a remedy is vital, but one must realize that healing is possible.

It takes a lot for a person to heal from anything that has caused anger, grief, or any thoughts that may require them to seek a remedy; but, it's possible to desire relief. I know this to be true, because it's something I live with daily. There are things people just don't know about me, that are privleged to know those personal things about me. I have to really trust you in order to share those things with you. I won't give details on here, but I can say that there are more people than you care to think that have had things happen to them they wish they could just let go. But it's, of course, "easier said, than done."

The quote above means a lot to me because I have lost my innocence on many levels, on many different occasions by a force I couldn't control. The first thing that comes to mind when something like that happens is: "It's not fair!" Of course it isn't fair. What's fair anyway? However, it's up to you and you alone to decide what's fair and what's unfair. Yet, in order to get over horrible things people do to you, one must not look at things as fair and unfair. You need to look at things in a way that can help build up your strength. In my opinion, looking at things as fair and unfair gives a person the right, in their own mind, to justify their actions. By no means is it okay to seek revenge on someone because what they did to you was "unfair". That, of course, is just one example of I'm sure several instances where the "fair" and "unfair" theories tend to not work. Don't get me wrong, I love to see someone get what's coming to them because justice has been served; however, it is not up to me as to whether or not they get that justice. If I worry about that, then my life will be put on hold. What kind of life would that be? Sitting on the sidelines watching it pass me by, is not a life. No thank you.

A remedy is vital. I believe a remedy is vital, because in order to get over something there needs to be some kind of resolution or cure. Even if putting a bandaid over it will help, it's better than just letting the wound get completely infected until you have to cut off the limb because it's developed gang green. Great image I have given, I know. ;) It's true though. Letting a problem fester is allowing the problem to grow more so than just letting it stand still. Having it stand still is still not a solution because you're no longer progressing in life. The whole point of this life, in my opinion, is to progress into someone that can help make this world a better place. I don't want to stand still, dwindle down to nothing, or be a deprement to someone else. There are too many great things in this life that keep me from being mediocre. I strive to be better each and every day. I fail probably more often than I'd like to, but at least my heart is in the right place.

I hope that I can be a good example of what it takes to overcome the horrible things that can happen in a person's life. It's all about choices that we make that can lead us to either road: the road to happiness, or the road to despair. I hope you choose wisely. Your life depends on it.

is cleaning and organizing the house.

*agrees* Ur vision will become clear only when u can look into ur own heart. Who look outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakens.

is very tired today. Hopefully this day will go by quickly.

Black hair is sexy, especially on me! Yay! It's a first. Pics to come.

*thinks* To dream of the person you wish to be is to waste the person you are

*agrees* The supreme irony of life is that hardly anyone gets out of it alive.

*at work* back from the hospital. Still hating Mondays. Please end soon. Home sweet home.

*at work* headed to the hospital to get some data. Yay. Mondays suck, especially after a holiday.

*feels* Your living is determined not by what life brings to you, it's the attitude you bring to life; not by what happens to you, it's the way your mind looks at what happens.

*feels* Your living is determined not by what life brings to you, it's the attitude you bring to life; not so by what happens to you, it's the way your mind looks at what happens.

*contemplates* Life is just a mirror, and what you see out there, you must first see inside of you.

Back at work from the weekend. Ugh! Hate Mondays.
