I change my mind so often. I'm flighty, I would say. I get bored easily, but commit whole-heartedly when I mean it. Sometimes too soon. Often I invest all of me into something far too early, too quickly. In all honesty, I'm extremely trusting. Even when people don't deserve it. I let myself get involved, and become vulnerable. Then, I get hurt. In all honesty, I have a heart for people. I tend to feel so much for someone that I can't keep it hidden. I love words. This may sound redundant, but in all fairness, words are so beautiful. So much power is in words. They can break your heart, confuse you, and enrapture your attention. Words can intoxicate you. In all honesty, I believe words carry so much weight, it's overwhelming. Have you ever read something, a poem or letter, that left you breathless? I feel that perhaps, at some point, life will leave us the same way; breathless, mystified, and in awe. Life, people say, is something to be cherished and shared. I do not disagree with this, however, there are a few things I believe should be added. Life is simple in the most complex of ways. It is beautiful and intricate in each part. Each life has a purpose. People say life is too short. I think that life is exactly the amount of time that is needed. Life is truly something. Soak in the moments, they will soon be a memory.
In all honesty, I think people are too consumed.
Consumed in themselves, in work, in the world. When your mind is so full of material thoughts, there is rarely room for what is really important. People spend their time searching for something, anything to fill the emptiness. The void inside them yearning to be whole. People jump from job to job, place to place, thing to thing waiting to be happy. In all honesty, nothing will satisfy. No amount of stuff, or money, or power will ever be enough. For a while, there might be a fullness, but eventually, the void starts to form again. Again, we search for something. At what point will we wake up, at what point do we realize? He is the only one that satisfies, the only thing that will not leave you feeling empty over time. We can keep searching, but in all honesty, there is none other. He is the answer to every problem, every desire, every heartache.
In all honesty, people aren't perfect.
Who can say otherwise? We can't expect them to be, or we undoubtedly will come up broken. I cannot expect to never be hurt, or to be not betrayed by another. This is in the simplest word, life. However, do not stop trusting. Do not stop loving, do not stop pursuing. Be there for people. Use what you have in this life to accomplish dreams. Do not be discouraged if you fall; we all stumble. Keep forgiving. Don't ever lose hope. Remember that love conquers all. Above all, know that He is always waiting to restore, to fill, to enrapture in love.
