For a very long time I thought I knew what love was. I thought it meant feeling your heart race and I thought it was excitement. And love is all of those things but love is also a sense of calm. It takes you to your most calmest blissful state. A feeling like no other. A feeling that can bring you to your knees. A feeling of compassion and understanding. A feeling of forgiveness;

I never understood how anyone can move forward by continuing to look back. You can’t keep revisiting the past expecting some different outcome. You can look back to grow an to learn but you can’t expect a different outcome. You have to start taking accountability as to why you keep revisiting and opening old wounds. What are you getting out of keeping past hurts fresh?

Life takes us through waves, some that drown us and some that teach us. And in the end we learn. We learn about ourselves and we learn about others. We are all a little selfish when it comes to the things we want and the things we need. We all have secrets that we hide even from ourselves. We try to contain certain urges because we don’t want to seem like monsters, but in some way we all are, aren’t we? We are all monsters to someone. We lurk in the shadows pretending not to see certain shit. We move through life contained to the standards of others, the same others that are so afraid to look at the reflection that is staring back at them, because deep down they know who they really are.

Different mindset

I can’t imagine anyone having the same mindset they had a year ago, two years ago, three years ago. As time passes, we grow and learn. The way we think changes and if for any reason you’re stuck with the same mindset you had a few years ago, ask yourself why. There comes a time and an age where we have to take a different approach to everything in life. It takes so much strength to be mature and keep your calm. It takes more strength to stay calm than it does to lose control. So before you respond and before you react, take time. Ask yourself, is it worth it? What will be gained? Will anything change? Will this help me grow?
