Fundamentals..

Hey my peeps!      ...Here is a thought on life and things concerning it. I like to call it the fundamentals.


     Don't tell me, "Never grow up." Simply because it is impossible. No matter what anyone says we all grow older.  No one can escape the burns and aches of this present life. It is ineveitable.
     Wishing for what could have been is a waste of time. You can't stop anyone from hurting me, because the tears I'll shed are the building blocks to who I will become.
     It is ok to fear but do not be afraid of fear. To fear, fear itself, is to hold your own self back. This world  has enough evils, the least of which should be fear.
     Never say never, because in doing so you are closing yourself off from your future experiences. Life is made up by the moments we make, the decisions we choose. Never is worse than no. No can be rearranged into yes, while never cannot be removed.
     The only thing you should never do, is let go. NEVER give up. Once you have released your grip, you can never again regain it. It is gone forever, lost into the unknown. If you do let go of something, let it be your anger. Anger and frustration bring nothing but trouble and usually destruction follows.
     No matter what, it is always, ALWAYS, okay to cry. It does not matter what anyone says. Tears are beautiful and should fall every once in a while. Crying is not a sign of weakness but rather a show that you are strong enough to be weak.
     Our strengths are found in our weaknesses. If you do not fail you won't know how to try again. If you aren't weak to begin with you don't get the oppurtunity to grow stronger. Remember strength is just like beauty, its truth lies within.
     It is okay to slip and fall, from this we learn to pick ourselves up. Learn from what you do so that you do not make the same mistake twice. And if you do, know that forrgiveness can only be given if you ask.
     Many emotions are asked for but one that should never be asked for is love. Love and grace. Love is freely given. You are loved more than you know, even if it seems you are lost and alone. Because love is the thing that shines in the dark. It is the thing that saves your tears when they fall. It looks beyond the mistakes you've made. It does not care how beautiful or strong you are. Love is always waiting with arms wide open to give but never recieve. Love is the thing that does not fail. Love forgives.
     They say love does not have a name. They say it does not really exist. But I have found that it does and that name is Jesus Christ.
     So as I said, I don't listen when they say never grow up and I won't listen when they say please grow up. I listen to my heart, what I feel inside.  I listen to Love.
      I close my eyes; in my darkness I look for The Light. I may fall and stumble. More often than not, I will cry. I will wish away my fears that so surround me. I will cry out, "Never again!" I will feel truly alone and believe all hope is gone. I have been here before. And when I can't take it anymore, I will reach out, though I am afraid to ask.
     Before I can blink, Love comes swooping in like a superhero. It rushes in and lifts me up like the shining sun. Love whispers, "I am here. I AM." Suddenly my tears evaporate. And, yes, I ask to be forgiven but Love has nothing to forgive. When I open my eyes, I find I NEVER need to search again because Love is in my heart. I stand with Him who saved me from death. He who pulled me from the pit of dispair. He who took away my overwhelming pain. He who is LOVE. 

...it is simply fundamental.
