breakthrough

First and foremost I owe Levi a shout out for being one of my biggest fans. He's been a Daily Dozer since I started and I'm proud to have received as many texts as i have from him saying nice blog or something along those lines. When I make a Daily Doze t-shirt, I like to think he'll be one of the first to buy.

Now to breakthroughs. I always feel like I have mini breakthroughs in my life. I'm not sure a mini breakthrough is ever actually a breakthrough, but for the sake of not arguing, today it is.

Some breakthroughs are positive and leave me feeling satisfied. Some are negative and leave me questioning everything around me. I've had several breakthroughs of both sorts recently.

The thing about these mini epiphanies is that each epiphany leaves me more confused. I guess that means they aren't epiphanies are they?

I want to know what the future has in store for me, but I won't know until it's here. One thing I do know is that I'm not afraid of it.

The only thing that has hit me recently that I do understand is that people love to regress. People love to reopen doors that were closed for a reason. I don't mean to talk down to anybody when I say this, but in my opinion going back to an ex is one of the biggest forms of regression. Maybe in some cases it isn't, but in almost every case I've seen, it is. I see people go back to exes that cheated on them, lied to them, and left them for no reason. I just think it's sad. There's a reason you are exes.  


Sure love is blind and all that other cliche garbage, but just because love is blind doesn't mean you have to be. Open your eyes and ears and see what's going on around you. Maybe this is an unnecessary rant, but maybe it'll strike somebody. It's just an observation I've made that's been grinding my gears.

In the end it's about moving on from one book of your life to the next and not looking back. You've read these pages already, and you know how the story plays out. Get into that new book and look for something worthwhile in it. Turn each and every page and find yourself in it. Find the words and the chapters nearest and dearest to your heart. Find that character that makes you smile, that makes you happy. Make that character yours. Just know to move on when the time comes. Rereading old books might bring momentary happiness, but they always end the same and if you're rereading the book that means it didn't end the way you wanted it to the first time...
