HISTORY
Posted by Christian | Posted in history, look back, Love, risks | Posted on Saturday, March 06, 2010
Getting away from the usual routine. Breaking away from the mundane. Doing things differently. However deep or superficial you want to slice it- it all applies.
Since almost two weeks ago, I have been taken on an awesome adventure with the most dysfunctional yet loving family. And amidst all the bickering, whining, complaining, and accidents that I witnessed firsthand during that week-long vacation trip, I felt the love and felt welcomed in as part of the Ponce familia. One of the greatest things that I learned to love about them all was their transparent and genuine attitude that was not focused on trying to make everything look alright and pretty. It was crystal clear that they, just like any 'normal' family, has their issues and problems. They were upfront about it all and honest to tell me how despite all their problems they deeply loved and cared for each other...Legitimate.
I respect that attitude... simply because that is how I look at it. Being a transparent person is a blessing that I have in my life and can't think of putting up a front to make others think that I am something that I am not. I prefer to be raw rather than part of the typical...too bad there is not a greater majority of people that can say the same thing.
History is made when you do something different. All the ppl and events in the history of man that standout from the rest because of the very fact that they were all different and left an impact. I want my history to be one where I make an impact on other people because I did things differently. Like I mentioned already, I'm not a fan of the typical...and I'm not a typical person in many ways.
I'm asking and praying for hope and faith to keep pushing forward. To not hesitate or worry so much. To continue being open to living my life to its fullest; to take risks and to do things I have never done before. To keep loving and learning what it means to love.
And just like I just did a huge recap on the last 7years of my life in the previous posts, I want to look back on the life I lead 10 years from now- and say 'wow, thanks God for always being there and carrying me through'.
No Regrets. None at all.
