So, I am feeling pretty under the weather lately - I have bronchitis. Ugh. I have been thinking lately about the past and friendships. It's funny how we think we have grown up so much and all the things done to us in the past are over and unable to cause us pain anymore. But, the funny thing is, we are human and so, unable to forget past trials. We can "move-on" and forgive those things, but we can never pretend they never happened - because they did! Hurt is that impossible scar that we can cover-up with make-up, or pretend we don't notice. But it is there, and everyone can see it. Its like the scar on my left knee that I got from falling off a short cliff during a hike. I forget its there, because it's always covered up. But when I'm sitting wherever - bored - and look down at my bare knee, I see the memory and can almost feel the rocks against my leg. I wish I knew how to be the bigger person and "let it all go", but alas, I am the same size I was a week ago, and progress seems hopeless.
In less than a week, I will be twenty-five years old. I always thought things would be so different by now. I always expected another life. Funny, I can actually say I like the one I have right now - or more, I like where I am going now. I don't want to just sit idlily by, writing verse and wishing I could change things. I am glad that I am finally on the road to fufillment. I just want to be a part of it all. If I can suceed in that, then I have a feeling the scar will slowly fade.
