I know the title is weird, but here’s the essence of what I want to convey:
Appreciate the lengths you’ve gone to, to get this far into your life.
Most of us don’t remember too far into our childhood. Maybe you remember a particular incident, or a fight you had with your best friend, but we don’t really remember us making decisions and matters like that. It’s hard to imagine we were all once innocent little kids. But that was a part of your life too, you had to get through so many things. You got through endless pages of homework, through bullies, and people not listening to you because you’re a kid, and only occasionally getting what you want. You got through all of that.
Later on you got through your adolescence. Trying to understand yourself, and finding your purpose in the world. All of us are taught that each of us is special and unique in our own different ways, this built up the pressure to plant your roots firm and give yourself an identity. You got through identity crisis, friendship drama, relationships and what not.
And then a day you came you had to actually make decisions that would determine how your entire life plays out. You got through that.
So what I’m saying is, you didn’t just get here because you just went through life. We made active decisions and went through struggles and uncomfortable moments to get here where you are. To get to wherever you’re standing right now.
Only the earth knows how far you’ve walked. Being smudged with toe prints through your life and time.
