I wish I knew then what I know now. That life isn’t black and white. It’s charged with confusion, winding bends paved with adrenaline, butterflies in your stomach floating aimlessly with no sense of direction, and child-like wonderment filled with light intermittently darkened by familiar shadows that can pull you down into the depths of your own hell. The judgements cast in the ignorance of my youth have become the fate of today. The wounds I have so mindlessly inflicted on loved ones and strangers alike have formed the tempestuous ocean of sorrows I must now tread. One thing I do know is that love is not a simple thing to be overlooked. It's breadth and scope is unfathomable, its penetration is multidimensional, it's faithfulness is eternally unwavering, and it's effect on the heart is deeply profound. Love is, without a doubt, the backdrop for all existence; the essence of what God is and who we are.

If you knew then what you know now, then your life wouldn't be what it was and is.. longing for different memories, longing to know then what you know now,, robs you of the perfection of how your life unraveled.. or longing for being in a different place now, is longing for a life you'll never have. But the way you see love, is the way I feel love.. nice words : )

The opening question blew my mind

Myself not fear death....I look forward to this...tho I may not have done my best in this lifetime. I am tired and dislike this cynical view of humans I have...the "hopeless" giving up...the antidote? Who knows...anyone feel same?
