Rainbow's End
Right now, I'm sitting in music composition class with a friend who works at Uniqlo and watching old Wong Fu Production videos from 2011. (What a great year) And one term stood out to me the most; the chase.
Chase: to pursue in order to catch.
Whether it's chasing after the 335, your friend while you're playing tag or maybe even, that person whom you're so sure is The One. For me, the path taken in pursuit of something has always ended with either a blessing or a lesson. What I mean by this is that when I fall short of attaining that one thing I desire, it helps me realize that it was never meant for me in the first place. And if I do somehow, someway get that thing, I will be blessed with another gift in my life.
But lessons can be gifts too.
Even if we do chase something or someone and end up disappointed, we still have the rest of our lives to figure it out!
We have the next x amount of years to,
find our passion and the thing that sets our heart on fire,
mend broken friendships or relationships,
write songs, blog posts and journals about life,
learn something from everyone we meet,
and encounter the person we will fall in love with and cherish for the rest of our life.
Don't be grade eight me. Falling in love and catching feelings for any girl who showed just a little bit of interest or care. It sucks to admit but hey! We aren't defined by our past right? I am glad to say that I have grown from those experiences of infatuation and false love, finally realizing that you don't need to have feelings or even romance, in order to genuinely love someone.
Sometimes paths intersect and sometimes they don't. That shouldn't stop us from loving them anyway and being grateful for the time you've spent together. The Chase more often that not, will leave us discouraged and disheartened but that shouldn't stop us from trying.
When we seek out treasure, we should be ready to face the possibility of finding nothing. That's what makes the hidden treasure so meaningful and worthwhile. We try and we try again, because moving forward is always better than not moving at all. I am terrified of stagnation and if taking risks brings about movement, I am all for it.
I will continue to pursue and chase the things that mean the most to me. Because the blessings God wants me to find are just on the other side of fear, doubt and the unknown.
Even if I find nothing and am left empty-handed, I will put on a smile, relax my shoulders and try again. To keep trying is to keep living and what good is life if we don't live it?
