“Nothing has ever come easy for me, and I think that’s a really good thing.” – Zooey Deschanel

With my birthday coming up in a few days, I’m mentally running through the same list of what I’ve done, have yet to do and acceptance for the things I will never do. There are things that are particularly hard like getting to a place of forgiveness or accepting that certain things and people will never change. Yet, there’s peace in floating in the river of what is instead of fighting against the current.

Every decade pushes me forward. It shapes and molds me into who I’m supposed to become. The process isn’t painless, but it’s necessary for the evolution of my soul.

At every milestone and hidden within every moment is a chance for growth. If you listen carefully, you will hear it ask, “Do you see me? Will you forgive me? Will you love me?”

Those that keep themselves busy won’t hear it or if they do, they purposely bury it under things, people, and drama.
