The Moon Is Not Just a Rock

It Has Much to Say

The Moon Is Not Just a Rock

The moon is something that I have always placed value in. I do not believe it is simply a rock, it actually has a hidden message that has helped me through bad days.

If we go all "Dear, John" on this then we could talk about how the moon is the same moon around the world. If I am looking at it, there is a chance my friends, significant other, or family members are looking at too. This is reassuring and has made me feel better during times that I was away from home. It helped relieve anxiety and relax a bit.

Also, the moon is a reminder that beauty is not always valued. It is also hidden sometimes. The way most people do not pay attention to it until it is really lighting the night sky. It is just as valuable when parts are hidden.

Ultimately though, the moon is a sign of hope. It comes out every night, on good days and bad to remind you that tomorrow is a new day and the sun will rise again.

I hope you see the moon for what it truly is and that it reminds you of who you are and want to be. If you are having a bad day, anticipate the moon. If you are like me, it may be just the thing that helps give you peace of mind.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
