Have you ever had those days where you just have found yourself clouded by a feeling of confusion and being somewhat disoriented and detached from things happening right in front of you? Recently, I found myself falling into one of those moments in my life. I have no idea why; but somehow I have found myself at a crossroad in life. I have found that as my life moves on and progresses by the day, my immature attitude (aka. The getting trashed and making an ass out of myself and not giving a fuck attitude) I am faced with certain circumstances, I have no more chances, I cannot get into trouble with the law anymore. I made my mistakes and I learned from them. With a little help from someone special I got things done and made positive changes in my life, I have been feeling like those that I was extremely close to, I feel like I lost touch with my closest friends, and it has nothing to do with the fact that my life is changing, but the fact of the matter is that I don’t want to be stuck in the same role or the same rut I was in, in high school. I mean lets face it the teenage days of getting drunk, smoking pot regularly, and chasing girls around after the sports games are over for me. It was fun while it lasted, but I did not see the life’s lessons that were being taught to me right in front of my eyes.
Well my flirtation with experimentation is over, no more trying things like drugs, and stuff like that. I may be growing up a little too fast but I have seen the things that old men do after a long day, they come home, they relax, they free their minds of the daily stresses, they unwind, chill with their lady and go to bed early and wake up early. I like it, I don’t need the extra stress in my life, I love being social, and always thought that the social aspect of life was what was most important; its is important, but being that cool kid and doing stuff for the sake of the entertainment of others, those days are done. I just did not see what I was doing I burned bridges with people I never should have, I ran all over people because I was focused on me, what I wanted. I have been in a relationship for 9 months now, I see now from staying true to someone that I love and care about very much, now its not just about me anymore, I cant make decisions based on my own wishes and volition any more. It is weird one day you are not thinking about what you want out of life, you are so focused in the present that you lose sight of what’s important. You never know though what you can do, you never know what’s going to be the outcome, or how things are going to play out in the end, you can try to figure it out but it will be a waste of your time.
Call me crazy but I think life has too many problems that come about, these so called tests of character, that the big man upstairs so kindly puts in front of us are really tests, they are whether or not you know it or whether you want to believe it they are there. Do they suck sometimes? Yeah, they do but it shows you what type of person you are when it builds up and piles on you it breaks you down. It takes a toll on you, sometimes you may not know what to do, just go with it (go with the plan life has in store for you) sometimes life is hard but it could be worse you could not be here or be unfortunate enough to be hindered by a handicap, Life really isn’t all that bad.
I have been thinking about it and relationships are good for people, it is awesome knowing that there’s someone out there generous enough to share their: heart, love, emotions, feelings, tears, giggles, smiles, frowns, the ups, the downs, basically they got your back and you got theirs. Relationships are based on communication, honesty, trust, passion, attraction, and unconditional, undeniable feelings of love. When we grow up we look for the best looking thing we can find, because lets face it we are superficial beings, I mean in our society it is all about appearances, keeping up these facades, these fronts people put up to hide what is really going on behind the calm and smooth exterior. We all know that things are not always what they seem to be but you know what? Love will triumph all, because no one wants to live life alone, its too hard because you cant do life by yourself you need someone by your side to share life’s great experiences with. Learning this is one of life’s greatest lessons that I have ever learned, and it took someone special in my life to teach me this lesson.
