Rapture

The rapture of being alive is good.

I don't want to be haunted by what might have been.

Getting tired of who I am when I am not moving forward.

It's time to make peace with my own meekness and sometimes
being of an ordinary disposition.

To forgive myself for my short-comings, to always be patient
with my education.

Because this education will not go away but is here to stay.

To be able to experience joy in the midst of all that would try to
cause me woe.

To go on to the betterment and fulfillment of my life's dreams
and hopes no matter what other people do or say towards me
and to forgive and love them in the process concerning where
they may be coming from.
