something to chew on...

alright...the computer is not so tempramental today...this was something i wrote about a year ago when i was going thru a rough time in my life...i was hoping that it might be of some help to Kyomi who seems to be going thru his own problems...i hope it helps... ~*~Life is a Journey~*~ Life is a journey…a quest if you will. So many have used those exact same words…but I guess it’s with good reason. There is no better way to describe this thing you call life and the way you are forced to live it. There are many factors that contribute to how your life forms into what you know it to be. Not much is known of what you call life. There is no clear purpose or reason you are here. Perhaps that is the purpose of life…to determine why you are here. And while you discover the answer, you are taken on a journey of self-discovery as well. Life is and will always be the most complicated aspect in the entire known universe. It is filled with roads or paths that you map out with the decisions you make and the actions you take in life. These roads are filled with obstacles and trials that you must tread in order to reach the road you walk down. Most of all, they determine what kind of person you end up becoming. It’s hard to understand how such small things like making a decision between this or that changes the course of life in a split second but somehow it works. There are many things that influence and affect our lives in the littlest ways. The decisions that you make, the actions you take, the changes you endure, the way you handle hard or tough situations. But possibly the most important and effective influence on determining who you are and who you become ate the changes you endure throughout your life. These changes are meant to test your will and help you grow in your experiences. But there is no way of knowing if you can possibly handle these changes. Sometimes you are not ready for such tests and challenges. But the only way to be sure is to take the chance. Life is bursting with changes that will give you clarification and revelation. To avoid these inevitable changes would mean to never take the risk of becoming better and stronger. Sometimes it takes more than one trial to really change for the better and so we endure the same change over and over again until we learn the lesson that needs to be taught. These changes can happen at any given time never giving us a chance to prepare. But you can never be fully prepared with these challenges to life. They challenge what you believe and what you know. How you handle these challenges when they come will make you all the more stronger for it. Much like a quest, life is full of difficulties as well that everyone must endure. It’s hard to know what to do in these situations. There is no clear way of knowing how things will turn out or how it will affect the course of your life. So these will often times be the hardest decisions you make. And it’s because of that fact that these decisions you make will also have the most effect on your life. There will be many people in your life also. Some will leave others will stay. All will leave a part of themselves with you. That is another factor or influence that dictates who you become later in life. Your personality is compiled of each and every person that you have met throughout your life. Those that stay for a longer duration of time will have more on an impact on your personality than those who come and go in a short period of time. Life is also filled with emotion. The heart is a complicated organ to master and will go form one emotion to another without missing a beat. Often times these emotions are more trouble than they’re worth. You spend the majority of your life trying to achieve happiness but as you grow older you discover that no one can be completely happy. Life is filled with hardships that prevent the possibility of complete happiness and content. When it comes to love, it’s both the greatest feeling in the world and the most spiteful. The feeling of being loved is most likely the single most greatest feeling in in the world. But to love someone and be rejected or lose that love could very well break your spirit and the will to live forever. All these factors contribute to who you are and who you become. Any slight change to that so called formula would risk changing the person you are. And that little change will be the beginning in a chain of events that would ultimately result in the change of and entire world…and entire galaxy…an entire universe… I love Ren & Hao. What about you?
