Internalizing
IT is so easy to collect thousands of quotes and hang them up on our walls, our minds and our hearts. And then as the wind picks up in our lives, or in our rooms, they slip off the wall, under the bed, and in the back of our mind…
Even with the best intentions they have to permanently inspire us. And even if they were spoken by the mouths that changed societies. They are still just words formed in such an way that for a short Moment we feel a change of wind in our sails, a Hope that these black little symbols will reach into the dark slimy depths of ourselves and pull out something that we wish we always had. Truth is these quotes and these thoughts, are from people who have lived there life in such a way that those little black symbols crawled through the dark slimy depths and emerged out of themselves, they were born through their experiences, and emotions. How do we expect to be changed by other peoples little black symbols. Eh hem I don’t. Sure we can be inspired by others, but true change comes from within. I AM ME AND IM MAKING MY OWN AND MAKING THEM COUNT. I AM GOING TO CHANGE THE WORLD AS I SEE FIT!!
Makayla, you are freaking amazing.
Kayla, That is both beautiful and poignant. – Thanks
I am absolutely astonished every time I read your writings! You are honestly, one of the most exceptional writers! Would you mind if I printed this off and used it in my class? I think the message is amazing, the meaning profound, and though I know the little printed characters won’t ultimately change the students I teach, I hope the wind in their sails at least blows them in a better direction, even if only for a while! Let me know if I can use it and if you care if I use your name with it?
Of Course !!!!! Thats Why I wrote it … To Inspire and get people Thinkin’ (:
