When the time comes for me to move on I'll be ready. I say this because I have realized how often people aren't ready for change because they don't want to be ready for it. I recently read an article on here that brought this to my mind. I'm not sure if it was because she didn't want the change to come or if it was because she was willing to let it come, but I do know that she saw change in front of her and she chose to ignore it until it was just about too late.
I also had a nice, long, debate with another friend of mine about “time”. That’s the best way I can explain it. Basically, the argument was over the importance of history. You know the saying, forget the past and you’re bound to repeat it, right? Well, that’s what he said, I said, “Then let it repeat. I know what happens when it’s all said and done.”
I guess what I’m getting at is that we go around and do what we do, thinking that what has happened in the past is bad because bad things happened in the past. I feel like, if we think about what will/ could happen, maybe we’d be ready for the future, and then we wouldn’t be afraid of what people will do in the future.
When it comes time for me to move to the next “chapter” in my life I’m going to be ready for it. The end of this one will be Graduating from high school. The end of the next one will be forming a family and the last chapter will end in one of two ways. Either I’m going to die and go to heaven or Jesus will get back first and I’ll just GO to heaven.
What happens in the process may be nice to know but I think I’m better off just knowing where I’m going and that I know how to get there.
Hopefully, when I move on, into the future, my friends will be there too, but if not I’m ready for it. I’ve sat and thought about whom my friends will be when I graduate and where I’m going after I do. I’ve even thought about whether I’m going to get married or not, and if I do, whom will I marry.
This isn’t meant to be a time for me to argue my beliefs or for someone to get uptight and take this the wrong way, but just sit back and know where your chapters begin and end. Then make sure you get to each checkpoint.
Now, I would like to ask anyone who happens to read this to please, just stop and think about what’s to come. Are you going to go drink tonight? If so, is that getting you to the next chapter of your life? If not, than maybe you should stop and think about doing something that will get you to the next chapter. We all know that cliffhangers are annoying. Don’t get yourself caught up in one. Be prepared and never stop aiming for the endpoint… “and he/she lived happily ever after. THE END”
Capt. Over and out!
P.S.~ I'm sorry it's so long, but I just felt like writting today.
