Do Not Disturb

Sometimes it's hard to accept new things in life, even if they're good. We're so use to working up to the good things like becoming dance captain, winning a competition, graduating high school, or getting a job promotion, that sudden good fortunes can almost seem dooming. Usually it's the bad things that take us by surprise. Loss, injury, death, are all things that we don't see coming. Things that come into our world unexpectedly, really throw shit around, and fade away as we continue to work toward the good.

So how do you respond when good things come unexpectedly and really throw shit around too? What if I was comfortable with what was happening in my world, do I turn away the positive change or do I accept it? Am I expected to accept it? I think that since I'm so use to sudden change being a bad thing, my mind automatically assumes that this change will turn sour as well, and so I should protect myself. 

How many good opportunities do you think you may have turned away because you thought you were protecting yourself? Friends, career, experiences, love...

How do you forgive yourself for pushing something good out of your life because you're afraid it could hurt you? It just sounds fucking stupid. 

This is fucking stupid.

Your first love really shapes who you are as a person.

You will experience your most extreme emotions when you are in love. You break boundaries and cross lines in your ability to trust someone; your ability to cherish and care about someone; to feel hurt by someone; to feel rage toward someone. You realize what you're emotionally capable of, and I think you start to feel more strongly toward most other things in your life too; effecting, changing, or altering your general perspective on life completely. Just like fine fabrics, once stretched, they will not return to their original shape, neither will you.

Be careful, you can be stretched and pulled in all the wrong ways.

p.s. I don't know anything.
