Life is what you make of it, nothing more nothing less. After after Amy reading me this post last night and after having some time to reflect upon it. I have some things to say...
Life is a cycle, whole and complete at all times. It's all about perspective. I suppose you could say we live in a disposable semi-permanent society, but at the same time it's all a matter of cleasing. Out with the old in with the new, The beginning is the end as is all the stuff packed in between. When you let something or someone go in your life it's not always pain free, but it's cleansing. How great does it feel to clean your house from top to bottom and get rid of all that clutter and crap that's keeping your home from a layout in Better Homes and Gardens? It's the same way in life. It may sound cynical in a way, but I do remember getting an email recently that forced us to ask why we would want someone in our lives that did not want us in theirs?
Trust me I've spent alot of time letting people and things go in the past two years of my life. Although at certain times I couldn't breathe through the pain, I learned the most important thing you'll ever learn in life. That really and truly all you ever have is you. If you aren't happy with you you'll never be happy with anyone else. I recently told a dear friend from high school this after he called me up to tell me he'd been in the hospital for a week from trying to commit suicide. You can say it all day long, but you've got to fully self actualize to understand it.
You can beat yourself up about lack of permenance, but what if everything stayed the same all the time? What if hermit crabs never grew out of their shells and all of the seashells were the same size at the beach? What if we never challenged the views and ideas we've held as truth our whole life and simply believed that world was round because someone told us so. Not because we've spent our lives traveling the globe in search of an endless plane.
As far as disposable friends and people, they always matter as much as you once thought they did. They in some way left a scratch on your surface that allows you to move one step closer to being a beautifully polished gem. You simply move on. All those scratches left by all those people eventually blend and overlap until you can't distinguish one from the other. However, this makes none of them any less important in creating the finished product.
So Sara I say to you, RECYCLE!!! And that's orders from an Environmental Science Teacher ;)
