Unimaginable

What’s the first thing we do when we meet someone for the first time? We make sure that person knows us or who we are. But when do we hold ourselves accountable for how people may treat us, based off of what and who we said we were at our initial interaction? I believe it is difficult to try to digest who and what we are while we are still growing. We can learn things about ourselves during a season, however, we can’t deem that to be who and what we are as a end result. Why? Well because we are like onions layers full of curiosity, things dormant, and things that we don’t even know exist about ourselves. As we embark upon this journey we call life, I feel that each year or season we grow older, we discover a new layer of ourselves. That’s why it’s okay to outgrow people or circumstances. I don’t feel we should be hard on people for the things that they do. Hold them accountable, but don’t feel that because they’ve done what they have done, they go down in character because their value doesn’t match our own. These situations can be seen as growing pains; simply because of the pain that may come from growing at different speeds and times.
