Strange Dream

I had the strangest dream last night. I was walking down a dirt road with snowy woods on either side of me. I was all alone. The road seemed to go on forever. I couldn’t see another person anywhere. All at once, however, I saw someone walking towards me in the distance. As this person got closer and closer I realized that it was me. It was me from many years ago, fresh faced and young. I could see in her mind all the dreams and hopes that she had too. They had, after all, once been my own.

I was overjoyed. I had so many things I wanted to say to this younger me. I wanted to spare her the trials I had gone through, the pain I had suffered, and the mistakes I had made. I wanted to share with her all that I had learned over the years of my life. I wanted to show her how his life would turn out so much differently than what he had thought and hoped it would, but that it would be so much better and happier than the path she was now on. I wanted her not to waste so many years on the things her ego thought were so vital but instead to realize that love was the most important thing in this life.

I opened my mouth to say all of these things but couldn’t. I realized at that moment that even if I told her she wouldn’t believe me. She would have to walk the road I had walked, learn the things I had learned, and go through all I had gone through. She would have to find God in her own way and in her own time. I let her walk on by and watched as she disappeared in the distance. Then I turned to continue on my own way and woke up.

In this life there are no shortcuts. We all have to walk the road. We all have to travel through sorrow as well as joy. We all have to learn to love. We all have to grow into who we were meant to be. It takes our whole lives. Yet, it is a journey worth making.Sometimes we want to give I up sometimes we do but in the end we are the only ones that can make life worth living despite all the chaos , pain and bad memories life has left us with , I'm learning day by day life can change that another person can beat and torture you mentally and physically but they can not Steal your soul, they cannot steal what you don't allow them to have, I held onto my soul for so long that it was what got me to where I am today..
