How to take care of yourself as you grow old?

Looking back at life as it has presented itself to me. Learning along the way was the greatest adventure I have ever embarked upon. The world is the biggest classroom we will ever experience.

The doors are plentiful that stand all around, but how do we choose?

Opening doors is the beginning of life as we step into our future. Not all are going to give a positive experience. The first lesson is to learn to take the good with the bad and not let your mistakes though you under the bus.

However, be prepared for the pains that come with growing. Finding out you are accepting the truth is not easy to accept that you are what they call the black sheep in your family, and you have never been able to find true friends.

Swallow the Pill

What a hard pill to swallow, the feeling of being unwanted and unloved. So you put up with and go along just to be a part of this world. This is not how I picture my life as I grew into an adult.

Although, there was not much room for me to learn the thing that the world had to offer. For many years I took this as a naïve aspect of my life. I did not realize how blessed I was. I won't lie. It hurts to know that there is no place for you anywhere. My cousin once told me it is bad when the world does not want you and the church have turned its back, and there is no place there for you.

Jesus Christ is Your Savior

I tried hard to prove him wrong, but I failed. No matter how much I tried to find a place, I still found myself alone. Learning to create a world of my own where I feel loved, comforted, and a place to belong.

Through Christ, who has made all things possible! I learned that love begins at home. You have to learn to love. Learning to love oneself is a great lesson not offered in the world. Being your own person, the person God has created you to be is not offered in the world. It is the time spent alone that allows you to see.

It opens your eyes, heart, and mind, allowing you to see the truth about the world. That it is not a nice place people are rude, hateful, lies, they will walk over you and kick the dirt in your face as if you are nothing. It does not matter if they are family or those you call your friend; everyone has an agenda.

One may say I have no nice thing to say about growing. For me, it has been a long road of pain and disappointment. It is by the strength of God that carried me through. I have learned to lean on him to carry me as I continue to grow.

I found that age does not make you an adult. If you have not grown into and matured at heart, you face a lifetime of failure. You must believe in yourself and trust the Lord in all things as you step out into the world.
