Dear Life

I take back all the times when I complained about obstacles that I thought I wouldn’t get over. I am sorry for complaining about them when really they were minimal. In the past 2 months you have given me my share of obstacles, as if to force me to change and reinvent myself. Thank you for the lessons, I welcome them all. They are all happening at once, they feel very heavy on my heart at times, and sometimes I am not sure how I am supposed to conquer them all. I feel the changes happening, but every time I think I learned the lesson, you through my another obstacle that I have to juggle with the others I haven’t solved as yet.

With all the obstacles you have introduced, you have also brought in a lot of new opportunities that I have always sought to have as staples in my life. It seems you want to teach me how to rid myself of old habits, old blankets and find comfort in things that are more reflective of the woman I want to be. Some days I wonder how I am going to find the strength, sometimes I struggle to find the meaning in the struggle.

No better time like thanksgiving to be thankful no for what we do have. I may be struggling with the changes and obstacles but I know that it could always be a lot worse. This thanksgiving although everyday something seems to prove to be harder than I thought, I will keep in mind that even when I can’t see what the reason is; something good will come out of this.
