| | I'm taking a step back and screening over the years. How much I've grown, how much I haven't. It's hard to believe that the ever-so-true cliche has been played through my life so well; time passes by fast.
So what do I see when I'm taking that gaze? I see my naive mistakes, attempts for attention, consistent clumsiness, but most of all I see change. If you asked me 4 years ago, when I was at the end of 5th grade, what my first year of high school would be like I'm pretty sure I would end up describing something along the lines of High School Musical (if that was out then.) My 5th grader self wouldn't even be able to fathom the stories I can tell today. In that, I'm proud to say that they're just stories and not tragedies. God is great and you can't comprehend what He has in store for you. I've learned that the easy way, and unfortunately the hard way also. At least I can look back and say it was for the better and there will be better things to come. No hard feelings, right? :)
It's nice to reflect every once in awhile; to see how far you've come and if you like it. It's scary to think that some people can't even do that because they're too afraid to look at themselves in the eye, or rather, their 5th grade selves. Shame, hurt, anger, or anything that would be deferring them from bringing back to mind their state of life, is hard to face but eventually unavoidable. Some people don't have a choice to reflect or not; some people are forced. Favorably, I chose to reflect back.
I don't think I'm turning out to be too shabby. Can't wait to see what else God has in store for me. :) |
