This weekend has ought to be one of those “changing”, if that’s the right word for it, weekends. I was sent on an adventure Friday night, and one of the most rewarding things I witnessed was true genuine kindness in it’s raw, flesh and bone. Amazing people are ready to offer, help out, and give when we run into dire and difficult situations. Hugs, soothing words, clothes, food, and car rides are given to us so often that we sometimes take these things for granted.
That night, I was confused, irritated, angry, lost, and I really didn’t know what was the best direction to take. I followed my gut and it landed me at the ice skating rink for Twice the Ice pretty late at night. There, a year later, it still seems to be the one place where the memories made will be remembered for a life time.
When we run into problems, honestly no one will come help fix the problem but ourselves. Although we must solve the problem on our own, never fail to see that there are always people that will be by your side to help you when you need it. Sometimes, all we really need is a hug and a coat offering from that special person to get us thinking straight and hopeful again. At least for the night, despite the bad parts, I was able to have fun and just remember the happiness of my life rather than the bad. The happy parts seem to never fail to give hope and help lead us in a general direction. Who knew that ice skating at the exact same time almost a year later with the same person, struggling for dear life trying not to fall while dragging them down with me, and insisting on holding hands with the wall was able to fill me up with so much happiness that I could die?
Things get hard, and it’s tough to go through hard times, but what about other people who have to suffer with me through my crazy times? It’s not any easier for them. Self pity runs in our veins, it’s not all bad, but it’s just we have to over look it sometimes for the better good of others, especially those that we care most about. That’s where I wronged.
Epiphany has struck me, and it’s time to get my shit together before it gets any worse. We create our own destiny & future: every second of the day we have the ability to choose to be a better person and solve unsolved problems. Never take anything, anyone, and any kind act for granted; we don’t get a second chance to appreciate it. Everyone who’s been there for me when I needed it, thanks, especially those there on Friday. With kind and genuine people out there, it really makes the world such a better place. Plus, family can get cold and harsh, but in the end, Family is Forever.
