It is so crazy how things turn out. One minute you’re laughing it up with some friends, the next thing you know, they’re ghosts from the past. One minute you’re sitting at your regular hang out and the next, that place is just a spot that you pass right up without even looking at it. One minute you’re alone wishing for love and the next your wish came true and you have been with them for 6 years. :)
I have lived lots of routines, had lots of friends, worked a few jobs, hung out at a few places, had tons of laughs and enjoyed every minute of it! I have also felt sadness, had animosity with enemies, shed tears, lost friends, missed opportunities, doubted God and hated myself for periods of time. It’s crazy to think that when you are stuck in the thick of a situation you never feel like it’s going to end. Good times wished to stay and bad times prayed away but they all pass us by without a hint to their conclusion. Then when you realize that it’s gone it’s already been a year or two and you find yourself deep in a nostalgic day dream.
You can’t change the past and the future is only a minute away. So you remember the past times that made you who you are, you let them bring a smile onto your face today and take that joy into your future. You move forward, knowing that yesterday made things what they are today and so today will make tomorrow what it will be. Work hard, achieve goals, live dreams and buy nice things. But above all don’t forget to love God, live life, and laugh loud.
About Me

- I love writing. If you want to know anything else just ask me or else read up! I have two blogs ("A Pen Itching To Bleed Onto Paper" and "The Rebirth of J"). One of my blogs (A Pen...) is updated more frequently than the other. "The Rebirth” is more of a story I am writing with my life whereas "A Pen" would be my random thoughts past, present, and future in this unfolding journey I call life. If this is your first time reading my blog, please visit Post #2 for the month of April 2008 in my "A Pen" blog archives... Thanks!

You always come up with the best advice J. All three of those things can make a person feel so good.
J,
Thank you for your beautiful words. They have been calming this morning. I do have a couple of comments. One, is that the future is now and past all at the same time. Two, remembering the past pain, is also a point of growing that God uses; therefore, I am thankful for those times also for they also make me who I am today.

it's definately best to look upon those times with cheer instead of pain. good post :)
