Today I had the chance to reminisce on the old fun train days. The days when I didn't give a crap about anything, when I could drive and drive and not get tired. Those days are long gone, but looking back now, I would give anything to live so carefreely. True, it's immature to live like that for too long, but boy were those days good.
This... growing up that everyone speaks of, planning for the future, people getting married, working towards a career, moving on..., I don't like it. But what does that matter right? Life goes on no matter what, and the things that happen to us, whether bad or good, happen so that we can learn and grow. What have I learned? That patience is a lost luxury in our quick paced world, persistence is seen as obsession, and good things become taken for granted. I don't want to be like that. I want to be someone that is patient in all circumstances, persistent in the things that I care for, and treasure the blessings that have been showered upon me. I do not want to end up viewing things through a negative lens, but rather through eyes of compassion and love.
Lord, if there's been any time that I've ever needed you more, I think now probably tops it.
