Our whole lives are constantly made up of choices. Simple and complicated choices that we make every single day. Yes or no.Left or right. Up or down. On the other hand there are choices that has an enormous impact to our lives. To love or to hate. To fight or to just give in. To live or to die. That’s the most important choice, and it’s not always in our hands sadly. Each decision we make takes you on a different path in life. Sometimes ones that we would have never imagined in a million years. You are one decision, just one away from a totally different life. That’s the scariest part of it all.
We spend our whole lives worrying about the future. We try and plan out the future,step by step. We try to predict the future. As if figuring it out will somehow dampen the blow on what the future has in store for us.But the future is always changing, changing right before our very eyes. The future is rooted into our deepest fears and our wildest hopes and dreams. One thing is certain though; when it finally exposes itself, the future is never the way we imagined it.
You blink once and that point in your life when you become an adult is finally here. You’re old enough to vote,to drink, and engage in other adult activities. Suddenly people expect you to be a responsible, serious,grown up, when you don't even know who you are or who you are suppose to be. We get taller, we get older but do we ever really grow up? Yes and in some ways we do grow up. We get married, we have families, we may even go through divorce. But we still have the same problems we had when we were younger. No matter how much we grow taller, grow older, we are still forever stumbling around , forever wondering the what ifs, forever worrying who we are suppose to be.
Biologically we’re brand new people about every seven years. We may look exactly the same, which we probably do. The thing is that the change isn’t visible to the naked eye, but we are altogether changed. When we say things like, “People don’t change.” it is one of the most scientifically incorrect statements we can ever say. People do change, biologically. But it’s the way people try not to change themselves is what is so outlandish. The way we still hold onto what things were instead of letting them be what they are today is simply mind blowing. The way we hold onto old memories instead of creating new ones.
Change is constant, look around you. How we experience change is completely up to us. It can feel like death or it can feel like a second chance at life. If we can open our hearts to change, to let go of our "the way it's suppose to be" mentality, then go with it. Don't hold back, because it can feel like pure adrenaline rushing through every inch of your body. At exactly any moment, we can have another chance at life.Like at any moment we can be born all over again. At any moment, anything can happen.
Fresh start, clean slate, and a world full of endless possibilities; but no matter what new adventure you’re taking off on, you’re still you. You bring you into every new beginning in your life. So how different can it possibly be? It’s all anyone wants right? But how likely is that going be any easier? Nothing’s easy about starting over. Nothing at all. But it is worth it, you know in your heart it is.
