Growing up

As we grow up, people change, our lives are molded more into who we are going to be as an adult. We lose friends, we gain new ones, we get our heart broken, we get butterflies in our stomach, and all the while the seasons continue to change. We go through the hard rock bottom trials and the fun light hearted times. When we run into the people we haven’t seen in a long time, we realize how much they have changed. But we realize in the end that it is us that has changed. We have learned more in the months or year we haven’t seen them. We have grown up and learned a few new things. We haven’t become the perfect person, but we are becoming a better person. As we grow, we are having to make our own choices. Some of them bring bad consequences, others bring the best results possible. We can’t redo our mistakes. We must learn from them and move on. We can only be thankful for the times when our impulse has brought us the right things and the situation has brought the joy and peace of mind.

As we pass by things that bring back memories of happiness and sadness, we immediately want to rejoice or cry. We are brought back to that moment with that feeling in our hearts. It is hard to erase those sad times from our minds, but all we can do is fill our minds with new happy memories. We are forced to grow up in that moment and move forward in our lives. We should live with the happiness God has given us and not the sorrow that we have brought upon ourselves.We can’t tear down that one place in the park, or wipe out all the flowers in the world, just because they bring us back to that moment when we had our hearts broken, or we had the best time with someone who is now gone.
