I need to write on my blog again. Like, make an actual post! The problem is, I don't have one specific thing I want to write about. So if my thoughts are everywhere, forgive me. Because I'm most likely just going to write what comes to my mind. So here goes...
Remember when we were children? When we ran around on those summer days with no cares in the world. Getting tired one moment, lying in the grass, feeling the soft breeze on our perfect faces. We would sit up, look around, and giggle as we took off once more, thinking that we had tricked our parents yet again. But they knew. They knew because they had been in our spot before. They knew because we were their children. They knew because we were children.
Aren't we still children? Do we really know what cares there actually are in the world? We pretend we do. We pretend like our math load is too much to handle. We pretend that we are too busy with some things to do other things. But the reality is, we aren't. I've lost count of how many times I've psyched myself out with my homework load, thinking that I will have no time for anything else. The outcome is always the same, though. I have free time.
But when you look at adults, do they get the free time we do? I don't know about you, but it seems like my dad never has any free time. And that's when I have to reflect back on my own life. Reflect back on what really matters at this point in my life. Is it school? Is it my social life? (Psych! Hahahaha. What social life.) Is it the extracurricular activities we are involved in? Is it close friends? What is it? Because some things come, and some things go, but only a few things stay. And I think that's what we should focus on.
So what things stay? It's hard to say, seeing as we can't look into our future. Will our best friends stay with us? Will the relationships we have formed at this time in our lives stay? Will the knowledge we "gained" in all of our science classes stay? (Hahahaha, no.) What matters? And what if what we think matters, really doesn't matter? And if what we think doesn't matter, does? What then? Well my friends, that is the point people start to have mental, and sometimes physical, breakdowns.
One thing I am sure of, however, is God's love. And that is one thing that is certain to stay. One of the most profound lyrics in modern music, in my opinion, comes from the song, "Don't You Worry Child." When I first heard it, I was like, "What? There is hope for the world??" The line was this:
Don't you worry child, don't you worry child, see heaven's got a plan for you.
And aren't we still children? Don't we still run around on summer days with no cares in the world? Do we really need to worry about what life will bring? Because as much as we do worry, and as hard as it is to stop, we really have no need to. Because heaven has a plan for us. All we need to do is trust.
Well, I was right! That went everywhere. I also made a new discovery about myself after proof-reading: all of my blog posts seem to end with faith in God, in some way. I don't mean to preach, I just post what I believe. I also think it's kind of significant as well. Don't all of our lives eventually tie back to God in the end? Just a thought.
Hmmmm. Mmkay. I'm done now. Bye guys.
