There are points in our lives when we do not know where we will go or how we will get there. When we are swept away by a wave or two in our lives, it is important that we find things that are enjoyable about the ride. We might not have control over every aspect of the journey and sometimes we might feel like we are drowning. The goal then is to find something stronger that can be used to keep us afloat. Not everything is easy, nor should it be, but what is important is the journey to our destination.
Journeys are the most important part for building experience, which happens to be the most necessary thing for finding a job, living life and raising kids... someday. The more I personally find out about my life's experiences the more I understand what I am supposed to do in my life.
As I approach graduation, though stressful, I am learning that these experiences through the educational system encourages my process of recovery through the difficult swings of life, or the "tidal waves". I am still unclear what parts I need to focus on so I can actually ride the waves and not
just attempt to stay afloat. What I know and understand about who I am, is that I need to apply the things I've learned in my life to the future events and trust solely on God as the foundations for my new beginnings. Change is always difficult, but when we can embrace the difficulties and hope for the best, that is when we can experience the most growth occurs, in who we are
and who we will become.
I am not an expert on life or how to live it. I am simply a human being with challenges and difficulties, that lives life in a way that
hopefully will be noted by others. I feel that sometimes I do things that are in revenge of what people say against me, but the action appears as taking initiative.
I am learning that through the difficulties I can be an individual of advocacy for others, who feel like they cannot speak up and are trapped in the daily routine of life. But in boundaries I understand the need for compassion and strictness, however unclear on how to balance them. These I am sure will become clearer as time continues and I mature in understanding and faith.
I sometimes fail in the area of faith, but am willing to undergo a routine change so that I can become more flourished in that. I wish sometimes it would be easier, but it isn't. We have to fight in life, fight the waters that attempt to drown us and enjoy the moments of peace that balance out the rest of our lives.
Change equals difficulties, difficulties equal experience, experience equals useful skills that help us through the roughest waters in our lives and many times they feel like tidal waves.
