Families

What makes the perfect family? Is it the mom that works everyday to only see her child at night while shes sleeping? She strives to give her child a good life, no matter how many hours she has to put in. Or is it the father that doesn't have a job but stays home with his children to spend every waking moment with them because he never had a relationship with his parents? Families are put together everyday with different shaped puzzle pieces and different shades of colors. What makes them perfect? Do the children decide that they're perfect, or is it everyone else around them who see's their true colors? Children love their parents unconditionally when they are young because they can't see the faults, or the mistakes they've made. Children see that mommy tucks me into bed, and daddy sneaks me ice cream even though mommy said no. Children are the starters of that perfect family because they bring love wherever they go. Mom comes home from a long day at work, to lay herself down on the couch recollecting her thoughts about the day and she hears the little footsteps come into the living room so she opens her eyes and sees this big smile staring her in the eyes, who has been waiting for her all day and she can't help but smile. Children don't know who pissed you off at work, children don't know that that man cut you off on your drive home, children don't know that you can't pay the bills this month. Children know that you love them, they know that you hug them when they're sad, they know you get excited for them and jump up and down when they pee on the potty, children know you are always there for them and they can count on you. I believe that children are our angels. Children are the ones that make us laugh, bring a smile to our face and will even make us very angry and forced to yell at them, but they're the only ones who we will always forgive, who we will never stop loving, and the only ones we actually feel bad for after yelling at them. Children are our angels that make our perfect family perfect because they except that mom might not be around all the time, and that dad may not live with them, or that they might not always get what they want, but they except us for what we truly are. They see the colors were made of, they see our shapes that make us whole and at the end of the day when they put their gentle hands on our face and smoosh our cheeks together and kiss our nose it brings a tear to our eyes and bring light into our hearts. Children make our family perfect because their little hearts carry so much unconditional love that molds us together. So if you want to know if you have that perfect family, look at the ones that give you the unconditional love, look at the ones that count on you, look at the ones except you for what you truly are in every shape and color because those are the ones who think that you are perfect.

The Longest Road..

The Longest Road

All our lives we are moving, turning and choosing different roads. What do these roads consist of? Do I want to know what these roads will lead me to? Throughout my life I have been down a lot of roads that don't have the greatest outcome so needless to say lately I've been taking everything in a slow pace and not so much a running start. My boyfriend tells me that I have more love for life than he has ever seen in anyone, so why is it I can’t find my running start? Being 20 years old I have the world at my finger tips! My dreams for life have always been to travel and experience all of the wonderful things that life has to offer. The mountains, the lakes, the jungles, the sunset on one side of the world compared to the other. Does it look different? How many different colors are in a sunset in Australia? You have to wonder these things, you have to see what the world has to offer because, if you don’t what are you living for? If you are not seeking something new and trying to find what else this world has to offer you will not find happiness. Happiness is everywhere, it’s in the love we have for one another, it’s in the book we read, it’s in the dinner we make, it’s found everywhere throughout our life in every road we choose to go down. The longest road is our pursuit of happiness. Your road of happiness will forever go on as long as you keep looking for it.

The Constitution only guarantees the American people the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself. ~Benjamin Franklin
