There are so many moments in my life I wish I could relive. It's crazy how when we look back on the little moments and realize that they were really big moments. I hate missing people more than anything. That feeling in your gut that there is no cure for. You know? Especially when you miss people who are only in your memory.
I hate that I get so caught up in my own life that I tend to forget to be involved in others lives. Many of my friends have spouses and kids. Some of my friends have been through divorce. A few of my friends have lost someone who meant the world to them and I can't even seem to find time in my day to ask them how they are. How selfish is that? I care about everyone in my life and care enough that I should be asking them what's new, what's up, or even just saying hello more often.
I guess what I'm getting at is that I wish we spent more time loving on people. I feel like we tend to forget we are all in this together. We allow ourselves to get caught up in the drama and the he said she said of it all and fail to realize that we are all we have. We need other people in our lives to lean on, to help us get through the tough times and it honestly makes my stomach turn to think about how we treat people sometimes.

Do you ever wonder if you're going down the wrong path? Like for awhile things look familiar, you're pretty confident you're in the right place then its like all of a sudden you're looking around asking yourself...."where the hell am I at?" You really can't remember veering off course & you're not sure if you took a wrong turn or not, but you find yourself asking about a billion questions and none of the answers make sense. You start yelling & even though people can hear you...they're not listening. Yes, there is a difference. It's SO frustrating. Anyway - enough complaining. Hey, we all have our days!

Exerpt #3 - This one cracks me up, only because it is SO true.
So, I've never really had the whole "timing" thing down. I actually feel like I'm pretty decent at a lot of things, but I can openly admit that when it comes to timing...I just flat out suck.
"Two people can be perfect for each other but if the timing's wrong it's never going to work out. Bad timing is the reason that most normal people end up single. Weirdos and creeps are single cause they are weird and creepy but people like us are single because of bad timing. " -Adam Levy (Love & Sex)

For me, life is about learning...everyday. I learn to be a better daughter, friend, follower of Christ, employee, student, etc. It's pretty crazy when you think about it...all the roles you play in your own life you sometimes don't realize the role you play in the lives of others. I said it a few blogs ago that even though it may seem like things have bad timing in our own lives, everything in life happens with perfect planning from God. Although we sometimes fail to see the purpose of the plan that is unfolding, we must understand that it will all make sense in the end. Faith and patience....it's what I live by - or try to anyways.
It's funny how life turns out is usually the total opposite of how we imagined it would.
see you soon...
