Reflection.

Living a more simple life and in a more simple city has really made me think about the last few years of my life. Split focuses on life and beauty. I am living a new life without television, cell phones, and (pretty much) without internet. I’m not able to sit on a couch after rehearsal, turn on E! News, and learn about Lindsay Lohan’s newest arrest. I am left with my thoughts and memories instead.
In reflection, all those little things I complained about were trivial. Was my life really so hard as to complain about the things I would find and complain about? I don’t think so. If so though, then why would I complain about it? I have always lived a good and privileged life.  Every life poses obstacles. Those obstacles represent lessons. Learning turns into your advantage. So in the end, you win. 
I can find good more than evil. I see the world through optimistic brown colored eyes. The world we live in is beautiful. Life is beautiful. I think back and realize that I made so many mistakes in life. At this point, its too late to change them and pointless to live life in sorrow over them. I can turn them into lessons though and change my decisions for the future. In life, we lose things. We lose friends, lovers, money, and jobs. We can blame other people for this but you are still the one left responsible for your losses. Life is interesting like that. We don’t live life in a movie that you can stop, rewind, and playback in a different way. 
So as I am sitting here, I realize that we all make mistakes that we will regret later on. I learned that you have to look back in hindsight and find those errors and make sure that you don’t repeat them. We can’t mourn over our losses because at the end of the day, we are all lucky. And finally, I learned that HAPPINESS is our life goal. 
Have you found yours?
