I first read this post the day Abbi posted about it,Thursday. I already follow Cinnamon and Sunshine,but I haven't gone through my dash in a while, only having read my favorite blogs. I read both of them. Then,yesterday after school, while riding home on the bus, I got to thinking. Life's like this. You fall, you slowly go back to a crawl, then come to a walk. Then, life get's better. Sometimes you even come to a run. But I realized something. The faster you run the harder you're gonna fall. Yet we all get so sure that this time we're not gonna get hurt, that we're gonna be okay. When really,when we get hurt, we're not trusting as much as we were before. We're pulling ourselves away from other people,friends, family, sometimes even God. We just pull inside ourselves, to where we are nothing but insecure. And it takes *forever* to get out of this. I know this personally. About 4th grade I had a chain of events that lead to where I got so into myself and insecure I was quiet. I was a different person everyday, each one weirder than the last. And I didn't get out of it until about last year(6th grade). Most of it was words, losing my best friend because she moved, and having a guy put me down a couple of times. This year I'm surrounded by amazing friends, and none of them have tried to put me down ever this year. The guys are almost like brothers, and the two girls are like sisters to me.Yeah, we've had our fights, but we're always there for each other.
I realized what I wanted my word to be. Trust. I want to trust more. I need to. Trust in God, my friends, even my family.
such a good word; great pick. beautiful blog <3
