Growing Older and Learning to Love

Hatred.

Something I happen to have a to have a lot of practice at. Something that has enabled pushing others away to be very easy.

But after moving out, living on my own for a little but, and seeing a new perspective on the world, a lot has changed.

Heres one thing that I will remember when I am older, I will listen to my kids. I will make sure that they are comfortable in their home, and if they happen to have someone in their life who treats them like the scum of the earth, I will make sure to do the right thing, protect them with all that I am. I won't give him chances, Because they won't change. I wouldn't spend years and years hoping for a change that will never happen. I would protect my children from depression, even if it meant I had to break my own heart.

But, hatred. Its a Dangerous feeling. One that cause you to change your viewpoint on everything you know. How can one heal this... this ones a toughie.

1- get out of that situation.
2- Remember that you are never alone and that there is this fabulous dude named jesus who loves you even if you are broken, he always has a big bear hug waiting for you.
3- Break down the barriers.
4- embrace the world

I came to Biola and met people from all around the world. People who have problems like I do, and some who don't.

But living here, I have met people that are so amazing, indescribable, strong, respectful, and just beautiful that it takes my breath away and restores my hope in love.

Learning the ropes of love for the first time is just like walking, once you take the first and most difficult step you are on your way to a magnificent adventure.

I love people. I love the way they smile, talk, laugh, hug, everything.

People are beautiful and broken, but being broken just gives us our own stories, stories that others will hear and learn from.

This World is so beautiful, one would be a fool to give in to hatred and miss out on it.

I know this post wasn't very descriptive. I just feel happy.

Hope you day is filled with holiday cheer and cute kitten pictures.
