Those stones used to hurt me, and sometimes I still find a little pebble in my shoe that gives me discomfort. I used to allow them to stay, step on them-feeling the pain. Now, I just throw it out. I don't live in those places long term anymore.
But the wonderful thing about being a human is we have free will. We have the ability to decide for ourselves, and as adults we certainly have even more rights to our own free will. I for one do what I want to do, for the most part. Having said that, I always try to take how it may affect other people-into consideration. The reason I do this, isn't because I am weak, scared or sensitive-it's because I have learned from my past and adapted.
I sit around and watch people that are not really in my life, but are associated to me in some way make huge mistakes that cost them lots (money, family, friends & much more) not just one time, but over and over again-and not just with one person or one situation but several situations & with several people-and they never learn, they never adapt & they certainly never see that it's them that make their selves so miserable.
I certainly am not perfect and I never pretend to be. But I do care, I care about what I do, what my family does & what perfect strangers do. I want the best out of all of us, and I always hope for it to. We have to stick together, help each other & learn from each other.
I feel very happy and very lucky to be so far away from what I used to be and so much closer to what I want to be and what I've always wanted to be. I get to keep what I love and hold dear, while I watch others loose it & gain things they don't even really want. It's sad actually, I used to think it would make me happy to see someone "get what was coming to them" or see "karma at work" but it's not. It's just sad & pointless.
I guess that's all I have for today. Love and be loved ya'll!
