Last night between the hours of not being able to sleep I watched Eat Pray Love. I have always liked Julia Roberts; but that movie really made me think of alot of things.
In her letter to David she said, "We settle for living in misery because were afraid of change. Of things crumbling to ruins. then I looked around in this place at the chaos its endured. The way its been adapted, burned, pillage...d, and found a way to build itself back up again...and I was reassured. Maybe my life hasn't been so chaotic, It's just the world that is. And the only real trap is getting attached to any of it. ruin is a gift. Ruin is the road to transformation. Even in this eternal city. The Augustium showed me that we must always be prepared for endless waves of transformation."
That really made perfect sense to me. No matter what chaos life has thrown at us, we always have a choice. We can either let it bury us or we can stand up brush ourselves off and start to rebuild. We are the architects of our own lives, we draw up the blue prints and decide what we want our life to look like.
I am blessed to have some wonderful people in my life who have stood by me, held my hand when I was shaky and unable to stand on my own. I have faced my demons and I have been left with a few scars. But those scars are a reminder of who I am and where I have come from. And where I never want to go again.
It's refreshing to see, that not everyone has their blinders on anymore. Many people are seeing things for what they are. The supporters, are slowly dwindling and the members that have always shown support to the admin heavily out weigh those that oppose them. People will always shown their true colors. Sometimes an apology, no matter how many times it's given will never fully be heard. Sometimes things that have been said, are just to unforgiveable.
