A Beautiful Life
It's my last day of being 23...and somehow...it was a freeing feeling. It's funny that some women actually dread aging. But I'm actually teasing myself with growing older.
I am actually relieved that it's a new year. I had very different plans when the year came in...and as usual...life surprised me.
There were the events I thought I had calculated well. There were people whose attitudes I had thought I knew well, and therefore knew they would not get on my trail. There were the days I thought would be over soon, but they weren't just over yet.
Even funnier still... how life turns out beautiful because of the very things you never expected, thought of or imagined.
Nevertheless, life is always wonderful. I had been through the days when I thought my chest would burst, and I would weep to God... but they were welcome. I always hoped that I would never have to endure another headache in my lifetime, but I knew very well that it was inevitable.
I suppose this just comes from the deep faith I have in God, as well as in myself. I always believed that he would never give me anything that I could not handle, and that this life he gave me was best looked at through rose-colored spectacles, but in clear sight. No matter what rains may come, the world is in color because I chose to look at it that way.
This is my token of gratitude to God for giving me another year to live... as well as for the past 23 years that have been. Each and every moment counted, I knew...no matter if I went through it with ease or pain.
This is the life He gave me...and heck, what a life it was!
