Day 106..#Inspiration..

(This post was inspired by Bird)

You know when you read through old journal entries and get a feel of the person you used to be whenever it was written?

Talk about flashback to 2008..first year of University and I was all emotional and what not..

Okay..maybe not emotional..but you know..

..It’s weird looking back and reading..the evolution of it all..

I was a pretty sad kid..not openly..I knew how to hide it well..I’d go as far to say I was pretty good at lying..

..But I think..from reading..I was clearly a very broken person..for many reasons..and knew that no one would understand..

I’d left my friends and family 200 miles away..and I wasn’t coping..

..But I could never tell them that..so I said nothing at all..

Some parts made me smile..you know when I realised the whole world wasn’t against me..

 

Then I delved into photographs..and MAN were they FUNNY! From High School times..to college times..to University..some years of my life in photo’s..

Photographs are so important..they trigger memories that you think you’ve forgotten until you see them again..

A lot makes me smile..and honestly..I know those things will continue to make me smile..

 

Fast forward like 5+ years..and I think I’m finally starting to get the hang of this “who am I” thing..

..and it’s strange because it was never something I can say I’ve known..at 22 better late than never eh? 😛

And for the fact that I believe I’m finally starting to identify..it blows me away..

 

So since blogging..Bird (from Everyone Has A Story) has become one of the most inspirational bloggers I know. Her matter of factness..the fact that she is so frank..and honest..allows me to look forward to reading her posts every day.
Yesterday..she wrote a post called  How I Began To Make Peace With Who I Am and since yesterday I’ve been thinking..a lot. I “liked” the post..but couldn’t bring myself to leave a comment because of the fear of being human I guess..and I couldn’t really justify in words at that point just how it made me feel.

It’s true..everyone does have a story..and how people decided to deal with their past and tell their stories are different..

I’ve only just started to deal with things that happened to me probably over the last two and a half to three months..and in this post..she just encapsulated lost feelings and emotions of things that I never even knew still bothered me..things that I never even knew I remembered..and dealing with all of it kinda makes me feel again..

Bird inspires me everyday..whether she knows it or not (but I guess she does now..lol) and I’ll kind of always think that that post was for me..because I always say God will use the most unexpected routes to get your attention..and He has my attention 😛

So this is just a thank you to Bird..who unknowingly confirmed something I’ve been waiting to hear for a very long time.. 🙂

 

This is what I leave for you fellow bloggers 🙂

[1] For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven.
[2] A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant and a time to harvest.
[3] A time to kill and a time to heal. A time to tear down and a time to build up.
[4] A time to cry and a time to laugh. A time to grieve and a time to dance.
[5] A time to scatter stones and a time to gather stones. A time to embrace and a time to turn away.
[6] A time to search and a time to quit searching. A time to keep and a time to throw away.
[7] A time to tear and a time to mend. A time to be quiet and a time to speak.
[8] A time to love and a time to hate. A time for war and a time for peace.
