EPIPHANY! Ok, maybe not, but it seemed like one. Maybe it's more like an idea...
Being
here in Guatemala, things have been easy and fun for me. I kind of got
accustomed to it. I kind of wanted things to stay like that, too. I
began to get stubbornly attached to the idea that things should remain
easy and fun. Me...stubborn!?!? Shocking, I know.
Life is supposed to be challenging and difficult. When things are
kind of easy and swimming along, you kind of forget that. I guess I have
just had a lot of challenging times, and so completely embraced easy
and kind of like staying in it. But I realized that we can't hide
behind easy and try to keep things as such. When you don't face things
or you try to avoid difficult things, then you're really learning
nothing. And if you're not learning anything, then what's the point of
living? I'm not saying a person shouldn't enjoy life when things are
easy, but, at least for me, a person shouldn't try to maintain an easy
life as the status quo as an avoidance response. Am I making sense?
Bueller...Bueller...
