the trials of growing up....




i adore simplicity....this wasn't always the case. in the past i embraced and even wanted complicated, chaotic, messy.....i didn't really realize at the time it was chaotic...i thought it was exciting, living life to the fullest, no inhibitions. I can now appreciate calmness and self-control....the ability to choose, and not give in to every whim without thinking first if it's the best decision for me....is it positive or negative?.....

We spend our whole lives growing up don't we?.....we all have various different areas we need help on...or growth...or change....we do the best we can...sometimes we don't though...and if we can recognize that we have the ability to grow and evolve into better people....it takes time, effort, persistence...hard work...stepping forward and back until we find our pace. it's ever changing.....life is hard...no doubt about that. What is important to us one day, no longer seems important months or years later.

I am beginning to see how much i've changed over the past few years.....when you withdraw for a bit, and step back into the world...everything is the same...but you aren't....what you would have settled for in the past seems absurd now....silly even. Without getting too specific i am starting to see things in a new light.....the certain sort of things that seemed shiny, sparkly, and glittery before, are now dull, lackluster, in the long run boring....

anyway.......

new adventures are on the horizon, and i'm beyond excited. what simple things are you enjoying this summer?
