We never thought we
would change so much. With every day that goes by our eyes shift and we can see just a touch more of what is real. I wonder what is next. New sensations at every turn and new loves with every heart beat. New loves form that we never even dreamt of forming. Loves that open new pathways that were not there before. Love of being free to be who we are in a world where not everyone is free to do so. Love of new art that has the ability to change our perceptions of the common to the uncommon. Love of wilderness and mother nature through magical forests that we take walks in and ponder their mysteries. Love of the history of our world, the rights and wrongs we are learning from. Love of critical thinking that enables us to move forward and to make changes to our society through acknowledgment of the contextual differences we all have and bring together.
We never knew that during the course of being young wild and free, we would grow at such
magnificent rates. Through the new loves we experience we begin to learn about change and growth. Through the history of great feats carried out by many before us we begin to get inspired. We realize that we all have voices that with a little courage can change our world that we live in, just as those before us changed their world. The shear weight of this realization can be life changing, the outcome breathtaking. At magnificent rates, at different stages of our lives, we begin to accept that our own dreams of change can lead people to truths that they do not yet see. And the circle of life, the circle of change, will continue.
We never thought we
could change so much. As we continue to grow and change we need to remind ourselves to be conscious of the barriers that we all inevitably face. We all are different and we all have biases whether we choose to acknowledge them or not. We should strive to be able to recognize that knowledge is directly related to power and gaining new knowledge will give us the power to make a change and take action
in whatever form that may mean.
With being young, wild and free comes the responsibility of making our world a little better than when we found it. Taking a stand for something that we see is wrong, saying it out loud, and researching it until we all understand it.
