A Promise Is Made, A Protector I Become

People change. That much is truth. I have changed significantly from the person I was 10, even 5 years ago. Back then, I wanted to change into a person who was more open to others, someone who didn't bottle things up so much. I also wanted to be stronger, and if you knew me that long ago, you can understand why. So, with those things in mind, I made a promise to myself: I will change into the very model of the person whom I want to become one day. And, as you can figure, I have changed into that person almost completely, as the process is still on-going.

Now that I have become stronger, I wanted to take another step forward in a direction and on a path that is full of risks and danger. So (and this was recently), I made to myself another promise: I want to use my stregth to protect the people whom I care about the most. Now that alone seems like a big promise to keep, so you would think I would have stopped there. Wrong. I made another, and extremely HUGE promise (which was actually more of a vow): I will use my strength to protect as many people as I possibly can. Even I thought that this was way too big of a promise to keep. But I felt that God gave me some reason to make that promise. I believe that it may be part of His unforseen plan (of course). Perhaps God wants me to protect others so that I may learn about self-sacrifice, which is something I defintely need to practice more. But I don't feel that it was forced upon me, since I made that promise myself. Because, if I aim to protect as many people as I possibly can, then it's likely that I'll be able to protect the people who truely matter to me even better. Even if it was just for one person for which I made this promise (which actually, it is, but they don't know about it, yet), I would follow it through, until it was complete, or for the rest of my life. And so, I feel that God has given me a job, or better yet, more like a mission, and with that mission, a title: I will be a Protector (Actually, if I was to choose the title, but having it being closely related to the first one, I would choose being called this: a Guardian. Heh, maybe a "Guardian Angel" perhaps? Maybe, but whatever, just "Guardian" suits me.)

So, in conclusion, I'll end with a quote from one of my favorite band's songs: "People change, but a promise stays the same." And as for promise, it will stay the same, forever and always (or, for at least however long it needs to stay the same).

You Must First Learn How To Crawl Before You Can Walk

I have been one to not take the initiative to do opportunistic things. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a COMPLETE procrastinator, but up until recently I wasn't too enthusiastic about new things. But then something changed me. A sign and revelation from God perhaps? I haven't figured out that entirely yet. So now I've been taking small steps towards things I probably wouldn't think I'd be doing a year ago. Like starting this blog. I never thought I would be sharing (some of) my personal feelings with others. I have the hope of eventually being a very outgoing person, but we'll see how things turn out...

My Thoughts On Power

Power... why do we crave it so? What are our reasons for our insatiable desire to be in control of something great? Is it for our own gain, or for the sake of others? Is it an attempt to counter our fear of being weak, or is it to gain the ability to defend those who they themselves are weak? This desire incarnates itself in many forms, but in the end, we are either consumed by it, or we are able to conquer it...

Shameful Correction, Wonderful Error

Forgive me for this, but I must tell you that this is not the true beginning of my journey, I began that all but one month ago. It was when I graduated from high school, and then the next day, became an adult (legally, I turned 18). This is only the beginning of the recordings of my journey.
It is better that you know this now than later on. My apologies, and thank you.

The Beginning Of My Long Journey...

Hello, and welcome. With this post, thus begins my chronicles of my journey, the greatest anyone and all must take: the journey of life. I do hope anyone who happens to read this will desire to follow my "blogging" from now on, until I can no longer do so, or at least as long as possible. So let this journey of mine begin...
