It took a long time and with some peoples help I have finally jumped back onto the path that I feel I need to be on physically, emotionally, and spiritually. It feels pretty good. I was at a friends house this week watching football, and he asked why I stop doing my blog. It really wasn't the biggest of deals, but when I left that night and all the next day I thought about it. To be honest I had no idea that he even read it. And it got me to thinking about a lot of things.
We all of us as people are so much more than we think ourselves to be. There are times this past year when I have felt really small, for lots of reasons and no reason at all. But hearing my friend as me why I stopped writing my blog made me feel so much more alive and special than I have felt really in the past year. I know it sounds crazy, but it did, I mean I told him that I didn't know why I had stopped writing but I knew, I knew exactly why I had stopped.
I had given up. I had given up on the possibility that I could make my dreams come true, and I had given up on the person that I thought I could be. It's sad really but I know that sometimes in life we give up on ourselves. Sometimes it's because things get hard, or maybe things seem impossible, or maybe you've fallen into a funk and you just stop believing that good things can happen to you. I'm here to tell you today that it's just not true. I believe that good things are happening to us everyday, we just don't take the time to stop and realize it.
I believe that above all things that I've done thus far in life the thing that I have done the best are my friends. And there is something to be said for that. The people that you choose to have around you in your life can lift you up to places you never thought possible. I won't go into detail of all the people that have been there helping me, but you all know who you are and if any of you are reading this, thank you and I love you. I won't lose sight again.
Now that all of that is done I've going to be really quick about this. If you read this far I'm going to ask you all to do something for me. You may not know this right now, but by doing something for me, you are actually going to be doing something for yourself. Go out as soon as you can and see The Perks of Being a Wallflower.
If you have ever read any of my stuff before you know that when I start talking about a movie I can tend to go on and on and on, so with that said, I'm not going to do that tonight. I'm simple going to say that this movie is what it's all about. It takes you through so many different emotions and there is just so much heart in there. I loved every second of it, and I'm not ashamed to say that I teared up a few times in it. It's that good folks, it was one of the best times I've had at the movies this year, and lets face it, that's saying something because I go to a lot of movies. So thank you for reading this, and don't worry there will be more to come, I promise.
Here is the trailer for those of you that don't know what this movie is about.
