So I woke up this morning with excitement. I had one of those dreams that feels so real. You know the ones that make you feel alive. I thought about writing it down, but realized I didn’t need too, I could remember every second of it. As I heated up a frying pan to make some eggs, my mind went back to the events of last night. It was then that I realized something. It dawned on me that anyone who has any worth will constantly try to protect those in their life from pain, humility, and going through the unnecessary. Then I remembered something my grandfather had taught me. I recalled making a huge mistake when I was but 19 years of age. I remember asking him why he didn’t stop me, why did he not warn me? He asked me if he had, would it have changed my course of action? I realized it wouldn’t, and he said that we have to learn the lessons that are most valuable, on our own. That while he wished there was a way to prevent me from getting hurt, that getting hurt then is exactly what I needed. That we all must go through our lessons learned. While I understood that at the time, I just realized that I had forgotten that lesson in regards to a friend. Not just last night but a few weeks ago. Had I remembered that lesson a few weeks prior to last night, I wouldn’t have set myself for disappointment. So I guess now as I write this, I ask myself, when do we intervene? When do we provide that knowledge, that wisdom? Which circumstances do we step into, and which do we allow to unfold as they may? If only their was a guideline, on which lessons must be learned the hard way. I would definitely memorize it. So in closing to the one I offended, I’m sorry. I truly didn’t want to hurt you, you have your own struggles and I don’t want to be one of them. To everyone else, take something from life every day. A lesson learned, a thought that makes you happy, hell, even a dream that makes you feel alive.
