permanent is not so PERMANENT after all.
my last vital blogging matter was that of the end of an era... the Harry Potter era. *tear* and nonetheless, time prances on. and as time moves, i am slowly discovering myself more and more. i am realizing some significant changes within. Peter Pan would most likely refer to it as "growing up."
as many of my close ones know, i have always been an outgoing, free-spirited, edgy individual who lived off of 20 bucks in the bank and the most recent weekend full of messy memories. that has not changed; however my definition of security has.
i am lucky to admit that i have never had to depend on anyone or anything in order to acheive my current happiness and/or successes that i have endeavored by the age of 23. in my mind, my security is not only in the Lord, but in the positive mind-set of knowing whole-heartedly that not everything is permanent. this is not said as to inflict ignorance or sarcasm, but rather indulge in a concept that many people view as "negative." elements in life are constantly changing, both for the good and the bad. many people have a hard time accepting change. but then again, many people are too afraid to change what they cannot accept. i may have mentioned this in previous blogs, but i cannot express it enough... Johnny Depp quoted an infamous saying during the movie Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus (Heath Ledger's final film) that has stuck with me ever since i viewed it:
let's disect and reflect on that quote for a moment. now, thinking back to all the times where you truly thought your life had hit bottom, like you would never be cheerful again or never fall in love, never be married, never be successful, never finish school, always be stuck in debt, never get over the death of a loved one, etc. are you still feeling that way today? hopefully not! life has so many twists, turns, ups and downs to keep you preoccupied despite whatever shmuck may come your way. as one door closes, two windows open kind of deal. either way you look at it, feelings, situations, people, places and cirumstances will always be revolving through a inevitable door called "change."
but remember: no matter what your current situation, don't ever lose heart for what you find important in YOUR life. it's okay to be uncomfortable or afraid but don't ever give up. life is a whirlwind, taking us to places and people we never knew we'd encounter... and that's the adventure and beauty behind it! also, don't ever think you aren't good enough. there is a spot for EVERYONE in this life otherwise, why the hell are we all here?! ;)
