I'm sure the cover photo made many of you think this was going to be about baseball or something. But, it's not. Look at the fresh clean white ball, that represents all the new in your life. Now, look at the dirty ball, that represents all the old in your life. Just because they look different does not mean they are different.
One of the most difficult things in life is to accept. Challenge yourself to accept everyone for who they are. Recently, I've noticed how fast time flies especially after my first year of college. Everything just seems to be moving faster and faster as time moves on.
I've found myself looking back at old times and thinking of all the amazing people I've met from kindergarten to high school. I cherish every second I have spent with all my old friends and I continue to cherish every second I have been spending with all the new friends I have made this past year.
It's easy to get carried away with all the new things in life, but it's important to focus on all the old which brought you to where you are now.
The new and the old is an interesting concept because life truly moves too fast and sometimes we loose sight of the people and places who brought us the life we now have.
This almost seemed to be more of a rant, but I was simply trying to remind everyone to cherish the new and the old. Be thankful for where you have been and where you are going. Count your blessings when you remember your old friends who have never left your side and your new friends who will never leave your side.
Growing up definitely comes with losing old friends, but you can also think of it as a gain. For every one person who choose to leave your life, it just makes the people who always stay for special.
In the end, the point is to be thankful for the new and the old and to cherish everything in your life. Most things change, but never forget the people who brought you to where you are.
