Recently I have had some blasts from the past, where people from deep in my past have found me after a decade or more. It was very flattering to know that even though I was long gone, I was never actually forgotten and that I somehow left an impression. It's was and is nice to know that as insignificant as life may seem, I have obviously played a significant part in some peoples lives.
It's funny though, how when the past catches up with you and you take the time to reflect and look back, you realize just how far you have come. There have been many times recently that I have been frustrated and felt impatient because I don't feel that I am progressing as quickly as I would like. So when faced with having to remember where I grew up, it made me realize how far I have actually come. It also made me realize that I have to remember who I am and that if I couldn't be held back then, then I refuse to be held back now. I'm not sure if I was born with the strength of heart and mind that God gave me or it was something developed throughout my life to help me survive the trials and tribulations that I had to endure. Whichever it was, all that matters is that it is the part of me that made something out of nothing. It is also the part of me that believed I could make it when so many thought I would fail. Point in fact... I didn't fail then and I refuse to fail now. I will be strong and I will always push forward to a better place. I will reach my goals and I will achieve my dreams. My past is behind me, but it made me who I am today and today I know that I have a bright future ahead.
Love too you all!
