Those who Wander.
12:21 AMThere is a common saying that goes "Not all who wander are lost" but I believe the truth is that you don't realize just how lost you are until you find yourself.
There are days I wake up and feel like the world is mine. I breathe in nothing but the air of opportunity and it is absolutely unparalleled. But, with that there are also days I wake up and regret even getting out of bed. I don't like having those days but if I didn't then I would have never learned to appreciate the good ones. The root of a good day to me is being able to embrace the feeling of calm and assurance. No worry, no negativity, just knowing that its in Gods hands and being completely thrilled about that. We all stumble, and we all back slide but we are so blessed to be able to fall back on our faith when we need it the most. How lucky are we?
Today society is filled with so many materialistic ideals, you have to have the best clothes and highest price tag to be beautiful. If you're ribs aren't showing then you're not sexy. If your hair isn't like the girls in the magazines then you're not gorgeous. If you don't go out and club then you're not cool. Intelligence is looked at as snobbery and swag is accepted more as a credential than some college degrees. We have ruined ourselves. Do you know what's beautiful? Kindness and selflessness. Do you know what's sexy? Being a woman comfortable in her own skin. Do you know what's gorgeous? A genuine smile that reflects a giving heart. Do you know what's cool? Finding yourself. Do you know whats smart? Being brave enough to be faithful while still having your wits about you. Lastly, do you know what gives you credentials? Living and experiencing life and all it's wonders. As long as we keep falling into all these modern idealistic black holes then we are going to keep setting ourselves and future generations up for failure. We have completely demolished the idea of family. Traditions are slowly going out the window, which is heartbreaking. At what point did the American dream became a nightmare? At what point did the values of being a lady disapate? What happened? Did we wander too far from our roots? Not all who wander may be lost, but if you're not reaching a destination then how will you ever appreciate the journey? I don't want to be today's wandering woman. I want to be grounded. To be strong, to be smart, to be a good wife and mother. My journey has a destination, and it's back to the roots of life. Imagine how different things would be if we all looked at the big picture.
With love,
Kayla.
