The Road

it’s pretty amazing looking back on the seven months i was on the road. recalling all the things that happened, the people i’ve met, the feelings i’ve had and the memories that have come up. in, what i think is a short time, a lot has happened and the road to self discovery has been bittersweet. it’s pretty amazing what you find out when you really look inside yourself. when you become healthy enough, mentally, to face things you thought you’d never be able to deal with. some things you never thought you’d be able to let go of, or want to. that holding on is not really a good idea, especially when it’s negative energy. you learn that what has happened in your past does not define you, but can make you into a truly extraordinary being.

you start to become aware of who you are and who you want to become….the real you. you realize your comfort zone is such a trap and it’s so worth stepping out of. you realize that life offers so much if you’re willing to take a risk and step into the unknown. that fear does nothing for you but keep you strapped to the ground and prevents you from experiencing some remarkable ventures. that failure is not a negative thing. that having a plan isn’t always necessary and some times, it ends up working out for the better.

you learn to listen to your gut. you learn that keeping an open mind is important. you learn to respond instead of react. you learn to listen more then talk. you learn to accept instead of judge. you learn that your feelings aren’t always the truth. you learn to forgive.

you learn that there is nothing like the love of a child and that it should never be taken for granted, or abused.

of course, all this is a work in progress and one that’s definitely going to continue. i thank God i’m able to do this, in every aspect of it.
