Blueprint

We all travel down our own path in life to eventually arrive at where we want to be...not just location but in health, education, personality, spirtituality, and love. We must realize that we go through things in life beginning as a young child until this very moment that help us create the blueprint to our lives. No ones journey is easy, not even those born with silver spoons in their mouths. We must have encounters with a variety of people, some friends, some family, even some strangers to be able recognize different traits that we want to possess and unexplored areas in our lives that we need to awaken.
I have had some time to reflect to realize there parts of my life that I was not so happy about. I did not want the public to think of me in those fashions or to leave the first impressions that I was leaving. But it's okay.
Part of this journey is maturation. It's such a beautiful thing. We must recognize that as we grow there are certain things that we once could get away with that we no longer can because we are not kids anymore. Throughout all the heartaches, lost friendships, education, independence, good times, bad times...we must take way something that we can learn from those experiences. Those key lessons help us transform into who we ultimately are today and who we will become tomorrow. The key is that you must be open to change and growth.
I have gone through things in my life and I have met some great people but all in all, I have developed into who I want to be. I know some people still wont like me but oh well. I love me! I have learned to be patient when I need to be and errupt when I have to. I learned to be sweet to those who deserve it and pay those who want nothing but negativity in my life no attention at all. I have learned to stand on my own two feet. I have learned how to shut my mouth and listen and to listen more. I have learned how to say no when I have to and yes when I can. I have learned to be a great friend and sister. I am continuing to learn how to be a great wife and mom but those lessons will continue everyday.
The blueprint to my life maybe complicated but it makes me treasure my journey even more. I love who I am today.
