Phoenix

I turned a year older just the other day and truth be told this season has had so many lows and highs. For me especially, there were too many letdowns. Hopes held on high just to crush me. Times where I gave those I'm-doing-great -I-can't- complain kind of replies but in truth I wanted  scream my head out because nothing was going right. Smiling and making jokes about how everything seems contorted but deep inside I was mad and confused about what a mess everything felt like.

These years are totally unnerving.  Be that as it may, I just decided to sit back,  look at how life is and I realized God is in total control you know.The director behind the scenes. Even though I got mad at him so many times, I somehow knew that it was pointless because that's just it. Pointless.  He has a reason for everything. He always has. 

With all the disappointments there have been real truths revealed though:Those spectacular academic degrees do not mean  the work you do will be fulfilling or if anything mean you'll get a job right away. That your family and friends can be your best support or they can also be your worst enemy making you guilty of success. That it is important to have friends who can stand by you through good times and most importantly through bad times. Those crazy friends who can make you laugh, pat you on the back and push you forward because they cannot let you fall back or crush and they celebrate with you when you succeed. That it is important to cherish those who love you. That you are free to make choices and you are  responsible for the ramifications either good or bad. If they are good,well enough. If they are bad remember guilt serves no purpose and forgive yourself because it is for your own good and carry on with life.That to feel the kindness of this world you have to be kind to yourself and take care of you. That is is important to  enrich your spirit. It sure is necessary to work on your body and mind or intellect but many a times they tend to fail you and the resilience of the spirit maybe the only thing that will push you to overcome. It is important to find peace with your soul and to rise from the ashes.To wake up each day and  to enjoy the beauty of each moment. To know that the lows  will never  last and to be glad of the highs. To know that the beauty of life is living.

From where the sun now stands, I continue to triumph over the injuries of time. I continue to count my blessings and to find the strength to live each day with grace.

Welcome to my peace and think pieces folks!!
