realized that we are all capable of overcoming our fears, insecurities, and selfish desires?
I’m 17 and, well, an experience about 3 months ago revealed to me the extent of my mother's love. It was like a love greater than I could imagine--a love so great that it opened my eyes, and immediately I was a lot wiser. Eventually, all my fears, insecurities, and selfish desires dissolved—I had overcome them. I still have desires, but they have become unselfish. It’s so weird, feeling like an adult in a teen’s body—truly amazing really; it’s a gift for which I’m grateful.
I’ve even reached that point where it’s like…my parents weren't really helpful to me growing up, but I love them. More than helping me they seemed to use words and actions that cut, and I was a good kid...I just had fears, insecurities, and selfish wants. It's just that I understand. It's so weird, because I used to be so mad at them --but I totally forgive them, and love and appreciate them for the simple fact that they’re my parents and like the average parent, they loved me more than life itself. It’s just somehow, it's our responsibility to rise past that and love wholeheartedly despite every else. You know... it is pain that guides us to try to understand and eventually build up our wisdom to a point where all we see in ourselves is love and compassion. I understand that there are many different personalities, and some will clash sometimes--but love is strong enough to fight any negativity and compromise and forgive and move towards a better relationship. Despite my parents’ flaws, I’m able to see goodness and perfection
It was a complete change in me, and somehow I keep wanting to improve myself in all ways big and small. I feel like I’m going to accomplish a lot, because I’m completely open to change and criticism—and am perfectly okay with myself now. My vision used to be so clouded and disillusioned you know. What do you think…are you willing to make positive changes with me or am I alone in this?
