It's food for thought. My current roomie is the most positive person I know. She is also one of the strongest people I know. We all want to make things better, but very few of us have the courage to dig deep within ourselves, to find and change the all those little complexities of the mind which make us who we are. My roomie has that kind of strength of mind.
Each and every person in my life, every single person who means so much to me, is around me in some form or meaning. Not just in pictures, clothes, or gifts, but in thoughts, behavior, and habits. Each and every day I take in a little of what I admire about each of you, to become who I desire to ideally be. To do what's sometimes hard to do, and to do the opposite of what might come naturally for me to do, but to do what may be the right thing to do. Most importantly, to know in the end, that while we may all be a part of one entity, there is no shame in learning from others. There is no loss of individuality in doing something different from what we naturally do each day, by grouping together aspects we admire about those we care about, and sometimes even certain strangers.
To fight fear, I realize we must acknowledge it first. Sometimes, that becomes the foundation of the solution. And sometimes, that alone becomes the solution to the problem.
