Life Goes Rolling On

It's amazing what a person can learn in a year.

I've learned so much about myself and I'm still taking it all in. Crazy, right? Who are you? What do you want to do? Where do you want to go?

I'm human. Yeah, duh, we all are, but seriously.

Being human is both equally terrifying and empowering.  We all have an inevitable end, but at the same time it makes life and those we share it with so damn beautiful.  We're all flawed, but at the same time we all have the gift to forgive, whether we're forgiving others or ourselves.

I feel like I've known most of this stuff I've suddenly come to realize most of my life.  It's posted all over the internet and magazines and books. Inspirational quotes, lines from novels, themes and motifs.  All the sudden epiphanies I've discovered have been shoved into our faces for so long we're almost immune to them.

So yeah, it sounds really cliche, most of the things I've come to realize, but the fact of the matter is I've finally come to embrace them.

And that's an incredibly humbling thing.

  1. Isn't it kind of amazing how you can know something for ages and then eventually actually realize it to be true?
