Pursuit
of Patience
Wow,
somehow it has been awhile since I last posted on this blog. Originally this
was started just for a class, but I genuinely miss having this outlet to share
my poetry and thoughts. I hope this will touch someone, somewhere, and at some time;
even if it is just me reading my post again later on in life.
Lately
there has been some good changes occurring in my life. I am definitely not one
to believe in luck or coincidence, but it definitely seems like the stars have
been aligning pretty well. I have been developing deeper relationships with my
friends, taking more time for my own health and well-being, and I have been
able to see a lot of my hard-work pay off in school and relationships.
Something
that really has come out of nowhere is a growth in relationship with one of my
best guy friends. The connection we share in unmatched and I see how things are
changing right before my eyes in a new direction. Regardless of where this will
lead or what else will change I know that throughout this I will learn
something. I would like to stress that in this post.
No
matter what happens in life it is important to try your hardest to view things
from a positive outlook. No matter how bad things may seem or how far something
can go wrong, there is always something positive you can find in the situation.
While some people view this as “finding the silver lining”, I like to take a different
approach. The belief I have is that all things are wrapped completely in gold
because the beauty in all experiences, trials, problems, celebrations, etc. in
unmatched. There is always something that can be learned and gained from every
single thing we experience in life and all of these things put together make us
into the people we are meant to become.
I’d
like to leave you with a poem I wrote about being patient in your pursuits of
love, joy, and peace, but seeing that you can find happiness even in the
waiting.
The
beauty of an effervescent glare
it
halts me and I stop to stare
I reach
and reach with all my might
to
capture even just the sight
but
if I could id take the chance
to
join him in love’s sweet dance
my
feet, my head, and my heart would twirl
if I
got the chance to be his girl
yet I
wait in patience for what’s in store
because
good things are worth waiting for.
