Sometimes You Got To Act Like A Kid To Become An Adult

With another semester quickly coming to an end, heres some valuable lessons I've learned. Perfection is unattainable; it just doesn't exist and that is completely okay, because stumbling is part of the journey and growth. If we all got it right on the first try, there would be no struggle. Struggle gives meaning to all the good in my life and makes me value all the positive things I get to experience. Happiness and success are subjective, because we all have different variations of it. I have realized that happiness is my number one priority and that it should be an everyday goal. Love, juries still out on that one, but when someone figures out that four letter word for me, let me know. Being with someone else teaches you about yourself, relationships help you realize what you are willing and not willing to put up with. I don't think you can get to know someone else until you really, truly know yourself and I think it is important to be comfortable and confident alone before you throw someone else into the mix. Education doesn't just come from a classroom, I feel like everyday has been a learning experience for me, and I have enjoyed being exposed to so many new things, just in the last six month. And finally, perspective, I think the biggest change from adolescence to adulthood is gaining some perspective. I don't think anyone takes the time to step back and see the bigger picture. I am definitely guilty of stressing the small things and not being able to appreciate the moment. I know thats a lot of things for just a few months, but its all ideas and thoughts that I've been working through for a while and just starting to piece together.
