Three Lessons

Some days seem to drag, some days it simply feels like nothing changes. Some days I wanna look at life and scream, "Make something happen!" But i've found that lots of things do happen, you just have to be able to notice them. I think, why can't I go on these extravagant trips? Or, why can't I have a night  like that? But, I think I do have those kinds of bliss in my life, maybe just in a simpler, purer form. The other day I was talking on the phone, to the person who sees the world the way I do, and we were talking about heavy topics (religion, politics, morals, etc.) And after I while I realized the things I was saying were things I had never thought of or in any way had expressed to myself, ever. I think everyone needs one of these people, the person that can help you find yourself. That's lesson #1, find the person who finds you. Another form of bliss I have in my life that isn't traveling to Europe and backpacking the Himalayas, it's finding inspiration within yourself. I think to find this inspiration you have to be open to all things life throws at you. Recently I've been encouraged by a certain person to always be positive, and sometimes you have to look at life from a new perspective. And this starts with being honest with yourself, that's what creates your inspiration, that's what started this blog. So, lesson #2, be open to positivity, inspiration, and new experiences. And lastly, this year has been interesting to me, as everyone keeps saying, "Enjoy it" "Don't wish it away." And- every time someone says something like this I look at them and think "You don't get it." But maybe, maybe they do. I feel as if I am a great sister and last night I had a talk with my sister about life and being who you are not what society tries to make you. She kept looking at me with innocence as if basking in every word as if it was poetry. She went to bed, and this morning sent me a text saying how she had faced her fears. I know I'm not always right but, in that instance I was. Just because I had a little bit more experience. I think I should't be closed off to what society throws at me, instead embrace the wisdom of the people around me, and hey sometimes they will be right sometimes they will be wrong. That leads to me lesson #3, it can't hurt to listen.
