.::ACCEPTANCE!::.

Feeling like you're apart of something when the actuality of the fact is that no one accepts you has me pondering what is a relationship and why does it matter to everyone? You were born into a family, a family who has been put on this earth to guide you and protect you, so when did outsiders become such a huge role in our lives? Shouldn't family be enough? What happens when your own flesh and blood doesn't accept you? Is that when we turn to strangers to help us feel better? Is turning to strangers a way of feeling the slightlest bit accepted or appreciated? Are we fools to think anyone but ourselves have our best interests at heart?

Being "accepted" comes with years of experience. No one really accepts or respects you if you can't give them anything of value.

.::STICKING OUT OR BLENDING IN::.

When you choose to be indifferent, you either gain people's respect or loose it. Doing things because it pleases others make's you loose respect for yourself. So which would you rather have? Having someone congratulate you for doing something you had to think twice about or feeling empowered because you chose to do it for yourself without having regrets? Life doesn't mean the same to someone who is just blending in as to someone who is taking risks and sticking out and facing what life really has to offer.

"Everything in life is an omen." The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

Don't be the one to wonder what something would be like especially if you can experience it for yourself.

.::MISTAKES::.

What are mistakes? The Oxford Dictionary defines the word as "(n) an incorrect idea or opinion; an error of judgement"

Are there things that you do or have done considered mistakes before you make that decision? We never know what a mistake is until we make that decision and not many people think they are making a mistake if they truly believe they're making the right choice. People make mistakes that take them on a journey which they overcome and make better judgement for themselves but why are people judged by the mistakes they make if everyone does it?

There's mistakes I've made, some of which I regret and some I could have used better judgement and prevented. Thinking about it, I have finally decided to leave the past behind and finally focus on the present that's taking me into the future.



“Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.” – Buddha
