Note to Self

Since the beginning of this year I have been extremely happy. I feel like a whole new person. My internal struggles have become dull and I feel so relieved. It's incredible. I'm more kind and patient. Patience has always been a thing I've struggled with especially with myself. This year I am determined to be better in every way possible. I don't know why I didn't start sooner. I guess I was meant to go through certain trials before I could feel this way. I wouldn't take it back. I feel like I have grown in personal strength and character. That what life is all about. Growing for yourself and Growing with others. Life is good. It's hard but good. We wouldn't know the good if we didn't know the bad.

Lately some of my friends have been struggling. Intense internal struggling. One of the things that I understand quite well. Before my personal change it used to hurt so bad to hear the things they went through. I still feel sadness but I know that they will be ok. They are growing sometimes the trials are harsh but they grow. I want my friends to grow in strength and character. I want the best for them. I feel like I have been able to help them more and be able to give better advice because I was calm.

Some people need to let loose. They need to consider all options to why someone didn't do one specific thing before they chew them out. Communication is so important. When communication is taken lightly it can be disastrous in the end. We don't know what people are going through. We can't always get things here and now.

I strongly dislike shallow people and their shallow thinking. You don't know who people are and how they feel and deal with things. Just except people. It's not that hard. You don't have to have a deep connection with everyone you meet but no one should cut someone down because they are different. Everyone is special in their own way. How can you cut someone down because they like a specific thing or because they won't participate in your normal routine. Everyone has different experiences and it molds them. Appearance is such a poor measure of a person.

Be kind. Listen. Serve others. Be the best that you can be.
