The
Reason for a Season
Lately
I have been thinking about many of the things people my age struggle with on a
regular basis. Something we all encounter is love. Love is a beautiful thing.
It stirs up many emotions that can confuse, liberate, or excite us.
I
want to express that when going through life a relationship is not necessary
for happiness. Love is amazing, but a relationship is not the most important
thing for your life. I often find myself looking at the media and seeing the
publicized concept that a relationship is a need and not a want.
This is not
true, and your happiness has to come from yourself.
Being
there for someone and creating long lasting relationships with friends is
extremely important in your college years. Often, the people you are close with
in college become lifelong friends. These friends will see you through the
years where you experience the most growth and truly find who you are and want
to be.
My
advice in this post is to nurture and invest in friendships and relationships
that are most important to you and not worry about finding “the perfect
someone”, because you’ll eventually find that person, but the friends in your
life are the people who will see you through that relationship.
The
poem I have chosen for this week entitled “Seasoned Friendship”, is about how
relationships, struggles, joy, and other times in life are temporary and often only
last for a season, but good, nurtured, and cherished friendships can last for years
and years.
Walk
with me
through
these paths ahead
the leaves
change color
the
foliage is dead
new
life is born
it
blooms and grows
the
sun comes out
your
happiness shows
there
is joy and love
found
in each of these times
but I
hope you and I
will
have the other till we die.
