Reality

I've written it so many times that it is practically engraved into this blog, but I'll say it again. I love to learn. I love to challenge myself. I love to work on my flaws. I love to see myself grow. I love to anticipate. I love to reminisce.

All of these things I love, I write about, and as such the majority of my blog is dedicated to the positive changes in my life and seeing how they came about. I am slowly realising that if I leave it at that, then you aren't being given the full picture.

I cry. I get frustrated. I get arrogant. I get envious. I race through life. I daydream. I worry.

One thing I'm thankful to be able to say I don't do, is give up. If I don't understand something, I keep asking questions and dedicating time to figuring out the answer. If I see a flaw I continue consciously to work on it until I see improvement. If I get envious I count my blessings. And if for a moment I forget those blessings and lose my way, the Photographer is quick to bring me back onto the right path.

In reality, every day there will be something I get wrong. There will be something I misjudge. There will be a word mis-spoken, a person I envy or a million thoughts that swirl into each other and stubbornly refuse to disentagle.

But I hope that in all of that there is also something, every day, that changes me, that teaches me, that makes me smile and that reminds me of who I am and where I'm going.

Much love,
xx

  1. Your frailties are the same as mine, and they remind me of Michael W. Smith's song, "Never Been Unloved." A few lines from it...

    I have been unrighteous, and I have been unmerciful.
    I have been unreachable. I have been un-teachable.
    I have been unwilling, and I have been undesirable.

    Sometimes I have been unwise. I’ve been undone by what I’m unsure of.
    But because of You and all that You went through, I know that I have never been unloved.
