Growing Up

Life is a time where you get burned, and then you survive. It isn't something that we ever expect to do, but it happens. We go through life watching our parents wake up every morning, get dressed, and go to work. Sometimes they're happy, but most of the time, they aren't. We never wonder why.... and then we start school and understand that things won't be fed to us anymore. We now have to work to get anything we want and since then, we haven't liked it. What choice do we have? Life is made to give you choices that will not only better you, but make you grow as well. I have to admit that my mother was a great woman. She taught me how to function, even while under adversity, stress, and many other things. She also taught me how to pay attention to others needs. She helped me grow up. My life growing up wasn't what I expected of it, but I've had to roll with the punches somehow. No one can make the claim that every decision they made was a good one, but we all have had to make them to survive.... to grow. I hope that when I start my family that I can prepare my children so that their growing process was a little smoother than mine. I also have to give thanks to the wonderful people in my life, friends and loved ones alike, living or passed. Every single one of you have impacted me to grow and I thank you all. I will continue to grow and hopefully prosper in this life.
