Just something I typed and considered may share amongst young people on Myspace and elsewhere. As I turn 21 soon, God has blessed me in so many ways. Through this site and with all sorts of things, I have become a bigger, better person. I'm not by any means trying to sound arrogant or conceited with this reflection. This is just one of the many things I've been fortunate to learn in 21 years.
"Will YOU be that person?"
The maturing, getting old factor is an inevitable part of life. In our youth years, lots of us carry subconscious reluctance when faced with this fact. Our warped mentalities serve to cater pleasure, lust, and other behaviors we eventually find as regretful. Although many of us notice mistakes constantly made by peers and elders alike, the concern that maybe, just maybe, we may make the same mistake is often swept under the rug and we go about our daily routine.
No one is perfect, for the desire to attain absolute perfection has speared into the side of life time and time again with little to no success. However, the concept to learn the mistakes made of the past and present has sunk deeper and deeper it seems. As temptations arise in making the same mistake twice in adolescent life, many of us are seemingly hesitant to be aggressively resistant. In a car accident, some trade 5 minutes of excitement while joyriding without seat belts for a life- changing, painful, and devastating outcome of mental pain and psychical recovery.
How many chances must we get before it’s too late? In my opinion, When this generation ages, we not only need to be more reflective on our mistakes made while young, we must continue to strengthen emphasis of the lessons learned from those mistakes on the present young.
God bless all!!
