Wet Cement

So, I practically had a revelation. Although I know that this will most definitely be much easier to say than put into action it is something that is amazing, and something that should most definitely be done.

We all, well most of us, sit here and beat ourselves up about things that we wish we wouldn't have done, or about things that we should have done. We ALL have made mistakes in our past, and will most definitely make mistakes in our future; we are, after all, humans and errors are apart of our lives. The trick is to NOT beat ourselves up about it.

I sit here, day in and day out, wondering what it is that I did wrong. I always try to piece together the puzzle of my life and my past endeavors in which I have dealt with pain, but that is something that I need to stop doing. We all have skeletons in our closets but we all, also have, a bight and wonderful unpaved path in front of us. There is never any set trail we have to follow. No one can sit here, and dictate to us what is to be done of our lives, that is something to be dealt with on our own. So, yes, we all made mistakes, extremely regrettable ones, but we all have this empty path, a clean slate laying at out feet, waiting to be walked on. Now, that isn't to say that things aren't going to be difficult. Sometimes the cement in the pavement is still wet, and your foot isn't quite sturdy, but with time, it will all dry up, and it will be easy to walk again.

That is possibly the corniest thing that I have said thus far, yet it is my food for thought. I do understand that I am not the person to come up with this thought, but I felt as if I should share it, regardless.

Although I just said all of this, I know that I will go against my own word and so other wise, so you have all been warned about future blogs.
