Weight Of The Word

Sometimes people tend to say things but their words do not resound any action or weight behind them. Over time, as this failure to follow through accumulates, a person’s word is lighter than a feather and can be wisped away as if it were just a small cloud of smoke. 

Accountability is also a word that can sum up what this means. If a person says they are going to do something, they should follow through for if they do not, their words will count for nothing and they will not be believed when the time comes for them to be serious.  

Personally, I keep disappointing myself by believing even the weakest of promises sometimes… 

Dealing with change is a concept that is difficult for me to fathom. But we change every day. Something new is learned, feelings appear or disappear, we eat different things, experience a new day whether it be good or bad, and we grow. 

Through these past few weeks back in college, I learned that it is possible to keep a steady schedule going for myself and that a computer is not completely necessary to keep up in class. Productivity has increased substantially all through old means (notebook and pen) and I think I am on the right track to figuring out the important stuff I need to do before my college experience is over (although I would love to attend college for the rest of my life, given that it’s all free and funded). 

New Years Resolution is working so far, just got to keep it up to not let myself down. 

 

Easier said than done. However, people think about what they will do for the new year. It is all up to the resolution-maker to uphold their resolutions, so I will make a couple that are possible to do:

1. Be more positive (Surround myself with more positive people)
2. Smile more
3. Continue to exercise and stay healthy

4. Get to know more people that have positive mindsets

5. Hang out with my old friends more

6. Stick with a budget

7. Be a leader of my own life

To those that don’t know where their lives are going: Keep a chin up because those that let the world drain them will fail at accomplishing their own desires. Keep a smile on your face and look forward. I plan to

Nostalgia-Sentimental yearning for the past

After having spent time back home with friends, I realized how much of myself I had let go throughout these past few years of college. My decisions are covered with stubbornness, regret, and moments of weakness in which I did not know what to do with myself. 

I remember a friend telling me that I had let go of my former self. That I had changed.

However, I am not the only one that changed. Though I was able to hang out with my friends again, they were not the same people that I remember. They were different because they had also let go of their former selves. They were more confident, wiser, and all the more wild than I was used to. 

A part of me wants to go back to more innocent days.

Progression- A movement toward a goal or to further or higher stage

Unfortunately, you cannot go back to the past. Though I am full of regret and angst through my own foolish and naive actions, I cannot change what has already happened

Battles were lost, but the war was not won, and one can arm themselves with knowledge to fight against ignorance.  

But it was those decisions that I made that caused me to see the error in my ways, and the faults of others.

The only option left is to take what you’ve learned and progress with the passing of time.

Making mistakes is a part of life. It is a culmination of you. Everyone is made up of all of their mistakes, and this is what causes one to learn.

It is interesting how some words carry weight and how others do not. Just like how Albert Einstein broke down the concept of time: It’s all relative.

In saying that words are relative, the sender and the receiver must both be taken into account. The sender’s motive and how the receiver feels about it are what make words weak or strong.

Words such as Love and Hate may speak volumes to one person, but bear no value to another.

So for anyone who begins to read this blog, my words might carry a lot of weight because they might be relevant to you, or because I may be relevant to you. To others, my words may carry no weight

This is the beginning of a new chapter. As a reader of this blog, the weight of the word rests on your shoulders.
