Lessons of life.


Lessons, everybody learns them. Some are definitely harder than others, but still from when we are little to our old day’s lessons will always be learned. I remember lessons such as tying my shoe; really I use to hate it… I would sit on the kitchen floor until one of my older brothers helped me; but at last I did finally learn how. I remember learning how to drive… let’s just put it this way always check to make sure the car is in the gear you want… or you may end up over a cement barrier… whoops.  I remember learning how to handle independent life when I moved away from college and I definitely remember learning how to rearrange my life after receiving devastating news. As I said some lessons are definitely harder than others.  This past weekend probably one of the biggest lessons I have learned yet, that really just hit home.
            The lesson all started with a phone call. I of all people know a simple phone call can change your life. Apparently, I needed to learn this lesson once more.  Anyway, I get a phone call and by the end of the day I had I think about twenty of them, I had close to fifty text messages all saying the same stuff. Repeat, repeat, repeat… apparently this person didn’t think what they were saying was going in loud n clear but trust me it was.  I won’t go into detail simply because I don’t want too.  All that needs to be said is this person didn’t care who they hurt as long as they got what they wanted in the end… they went after a good thing and went to extravagant measures to ruin it. Now the lesson I had to learn was a bit of a hard one for me. This lesson was trusting someone completely no questions asked, just simply giving them the power to tell me the truth.  Then learning to forgive no questions asked. This by far… was just plain out hard.  Let me tell you, it was an extremely long day full of long talks, stomach aches, ringing phones and pure emotion of every kind.  In the end I got the truth, I’m not going to say it wasn’t hard because it was. I’m not going to say the person who kept trying to ruin a good thing is going to stop, because truth be told I don’t think they will. I will say that when you care about someone you do whatever it takes you don’t walk away, I will say I have the best support system in the entire world because I do, I will say this person who doesn’t care about anyone but themselves has a long road ahead of them and I will definitely say that I am going to walk to hell n back before this person breaks me.
            Lessons, we all need to learn them.  We learn to trust, we learn to love, we learn to forgive, we learn what is wrong and what is right… we just learn. Needless to say this weekend I learned a big lesson in the game of love. What have you learned lately?
