Day 30: I'm DONE!!

I had an interesting realization today. Everyone deserves second, third and sometimes even fourth chances in this life. I mean, who are we to say that they don’t deserve another shot at being a friend. Granted, there are a few exceptions, but just because someone says something that hurts you doesn’t mean that you should stop being their friend. I know that for me, if my friends hadn’t given me second (and sometimes third) chances, I probably wouldn’t have friends. Everyone makes mistakes, its part of growing up, and we are all CONSTANTLY growing up (even when you’re fifty).

But when do we stop giving second chances?? I mean, where does the line sit that if you cross over you don’t get any more chances?? This is something I struggle with. I believe everyone has the spark to be the greatest thing in the world. I also believe everyone screws up at one time or another. But should you stop being friends just because of it?? I know that I’m overly sensitive sometimes and freak out about stupid stuff, which is why I think second chances are a saving grace. If everyone I ever freaked out at wrote me off, I would be absolutely alone.

I guess what I’m trying to say is that everyone deserves to prove themselves and until they do something so bad that you can’t even stand to look at them, you should accept an apology and maybe even offer a few. You never know if someone is in your life to teach you something. If you kick them out too soon, you won’t learn something valuable that will make you a better person. So yeah, just love everyone and try to make sense of the lesson God is clearly trying to teach you with them.

Maybe I’m being really cryptic with this all. I can’t really explain where all this is coming from, I just know that it is true. I know I need to mend a few bridges with people that I was absolutely horrid to. Maybe I should just send them my blog address and let them read it. Haha.

I made it through the 30 posts!! I’m going to disappear for a little while now (but not too long. I’ll probably be back on in a week). I think the world is a bit sick of hearing from me. I know I’m starting to get sick of myself. So if you made it through the month with me THANK YOU!! If you didn’t I forgive you. I know half these posts didn’t make any sense, but whatever. I knew what they were about and it made me feel better to write them.
