Like that moment after time has passed and you start to notice all the ways you're maturing and growing. Of course you never notice while it's happening, but when you don't fall for the stupid things you used to or you see yourself moving on from something you never thought you would, it's a really really good feeling. There's that saying, when you know better, you do better and I couldn't be any more grateful for the wisdom that experience gives you.
For example, relationships have always been a roller coaster for me. Unpredictable, painful at times, and a lot of lessons. I was caught in an unhealthy relationship that literally sucked the life out of me... but I didn't know any better. But now I'm sitting happily in a new relationship and couldn't be any happier with what I know now about life.
So what do I know for sure?
- I know that the best relationships happen when both people consistently strive to better themselves and unconsciously influence the other to do the same for themselves. It's never a losing game when you meet half way.
- Life is a lot of how you perceive it. Better to see it and understand it in the best way for your self than have other people try to influence you with how things should be. Be comfortable in your own, as long as its healthy, it's all good.
- You really are better off with what have now than what you left behind. There really are reasons why people are in your past. God works in wonderful ways and I trust in that. Only move forward, never backward.
- Sometimes the people you least expect to be with are the best ones.
- If all else fails, laugh. Love is enough for most things.
- Your past isn't every reason why things don't work, and when things don't work out, it doesn't mean you throw in the towel. Relationships take effort, communication and understanding.
Some of these things may be obvious, but again, hindsight is a beautiful thing. Now that I know better, I can do better.
