Back Where I Come From

How is it that things are always easier to see on the outside? It’s always easier to give advice than to apply others’ guidance to your life. I mean you think that something is a certain way and you feel a certain way about it, but if other people can open your eyes and mention things in a different perspective, do you really feel the way you think you did? Or do you just feel a certain way because it’s more convenient? Your attitude determines your living. Should you try to fight for the feelings that make you vulnerable, even if you are uncertain that your efforts will be acknowledged and given back in return? Or should you succumb to the fact that you have possibly made things seem what they are not and that your efforts are meaningless? When someone can sit there and tell you what all they have experienced and it makes you suddenly question that you don’t know anything, do you? Or what if what you know is something so rare and wonderful that it’s not worth even explaining and that you should cherish the fact you are a lucky person to know what you do…
I like to think that I know something different and that not everyone is lucky enough to find it in their lifetime. If it is questioned many times over, and you can still come to the same conclusion, it has to mean something. Everyone has doubts about things they are almost sure of, but when the doubts are no longer questioned and your feelings remain the same underneath it all, then maybe you DO know something. It’s up to you not to take things for granted…
