Just Say Yes

 When a person is hurt, they will instinctively put up an imaginative shield to protect themselves.  This shield will get you into trouble. I have come to realize how much I really need to grow up and learn to forgive and forget. It can be really painful, to turn the other cheek. If you eventually do; the healing process will begin.Eventually it will get easier,to just rise above all pettiness. Many life changing things has happened to me in the past three years, things that I haven't had time to heal or grow from. I have found, that because I didn't allow myself to heal; I ended up hurting others, and stooping to levels of immaturity that I would have never before. I think about it a lot, about the type of person I can be at times, and she is not who I want to be. I think because I realized this, I am beginning to heal. I have reached a point, where I just want to be a good person again. To be strong, and loving. There is a saying, that a person is who they are when they were a young child. As a child, I was compassionate, loving , gentle, and confident. I think that person still lyes within myself. I just have to patient and allow myself to recover from a hard past. Trials and tribulations mold individuals; my mold is yet to be decided.
