The Change in Me.

So you might be wondering if you know me personally and see a little bit of a change in me, what the heck happened? Well let met tell you, please I really want to tell you. This past Monday, (January 25) I went to a Spiritual Gifts/Career seminar and in all honesty, I didn't want to go, but I knew it would have helped me in some degree, so I went anyway. Well the speaker taught pretty much everything I already knew about the topic because I already went through a series about spiritual gifts with my youth group sometime last year. So if you ask everyone that was there and around me at my table and the people who looked at me and heard me talk, I was a complete downer the whole time. Well when I got home, I started to think. I looked at who I was and then I thought about who I could be. For the first time in years, I didn't think about all the crap I'm going through. I didn't think about my future. I thought about who I can be, the person I really wanted to be. The person I wanted to be was, a person who didn't complain about much, didn't get mad at the little things, forgives and forgets, doesn't get offended about misunderstandings or criticism, the person I wanted to be was the person that my parents raised me to be. So then I started to think, well how can I be like that? How can I not complain about much? Well look at the positive side of things. How can I not get mad at the little things? Laugh at the little things. How do I forgive and forget? Just forgive the person and then basically erase it from your memory, don't think about it anymore. How do I not get offended about misunderstandings or criticism? Just smile and think about what they said and get over it! There comes a time in your life where it doesn't really matter, it shouldn't effect you. There comes a time in life where you just need to let your grasp loose a little from your childhood and do this thing called grow up! Yes even though the best adults are the ones who let their inner kid show, there's a time and place for everything. Then after I thought about everything I just said, it dawned on me, six months from now I'll be 18. I'll be making my own decisons. As scary is it maybe or sound, change is a good thing and change is what just what I need. So that's the change in me. I am happier now than I have been in years.
