The pages of our life..

In our life we go through countless stages, new places we move to, new faces that become a part of our lives, and new ideas that sweep in and take a hold of our decisions.
With each new chapter of our lives, the pages are filled in and these pages slowly become the book of our life. Pages filled with loves and losses and immeasurable times that have slowly created who we are. The chapters that have shaped our lives and created our unique stories will be looked back upon, read again and again. When we pause and look back upon those pages, we will continue to be reminded as to how quickly those pages can turn and how fast a new blank one can appear before us.
In life we learn new ways of thinking while keeping a hold of the things we have already learned. We learn from our mistakes vowing never to make the same one again, but sometimes not achieving this. I believe that it is not the mistakes that matter but what lies in your heart that is of importance. When I am old and look back at my story, I want to smile when I think of the times that make up those pages. I want to know that for every heart ache I have had, before it there was a great love. I want to remember those who entered my life, whether it was for a brief second or a long road together. I want to know that I learned from my mistakes and my heart was always in the right place. I want to not be afraid to remember the pain and relive the pleasures, both of equal powerfulness.
Our time is moving fast, each day matters and each day is another page to add to our stories. The lessons that we are currently learning, whatever they may be, are shaping the next chapter of our story. I'm excited to be able to look back at these pages with contentment and gratification in my heart.
