A Piece of Glass Shattered

There is a lot of bad in the world and there is also good. I've come a long way from the day I learned how to stand on my own two feet to the day I drove my first car. I'm sure you can relate. With age they say, comes wisdom. With wisdom however, comes the horrifying reality of the truth.

I've been through a lot of obstacles, I'm sure we all have. I want you to put those all aside and I want you to just think about the worst truth you've ever come across. 

What is mine, you ask? The worst truth I have ever come across is finding out that the Superman and Superwoman in my life, my dad and mom, are in fact just normal human beings. They're filled with faults and they too can be wrong, but does that mean they are bad people? No. 

Like I said, with age comes wisdom. But thinking about this made me realize that when we are so young we tend to block away the reality of it all. I still remember look at my dad as a hero and my mom as my idol and that will never change. But there is a beautiful innocence about looking at your parents like they're your superhero's and there is a heart breaking realization about finding out that they too can make mistakes. They can't be perfect. No one can. This isn't meant to fill your mouth with a sower feeling, it's mean to make you realize the beautiful reality we live in. No one can be perfect, but that doesn't mean you cannot try. 

I cannot remember the exact day that I realized they were just normal people like me, but when I did realize however, it blew me away. It didn't change the way I look at them because I still put them on this pedestal. It did make me realize though that no matter how much a sponge may be able to absorb it will still have holes. In this case, flaws.

Thinking about this taught me the value of living in the moment and enjoying every smell, touch, taste, and memory that surrounds us.

*I know I haven't been active and the purpose of this blog has lost it's value, but I revisited this the other day and re-reading my own posts and the millions of post's I have stored away in my draft folder refreshed me and motivated me to keep expressing my thoughts. I hope that someone out there comes across this and can relate to it and understands that they are not alone in this place we call Earth. No matter where we are from, we have the freewill to dream, don't ever forget that.*
