Pause it. Look away. Come Back to Live It Differently.

I am sure that everyone wishes that Life had it's own remote control. So that we could pause those great moments and just look at them. Those moments that take your breath away. But sometimes, being on pause can mean more than just stepping back and looking at the big picture. Sometimes, pausing your life can be to take a break from all that is weighing on your heart and on your shoulders.

Sometimes I pause my own life, sit back, and ignore the big picture in front of me. I don't want to deal with all the heartaches and heartbreaks that life seems to enjoy throwing. I don't feel like looking at my mistakes anymore. I learn from them, don't get me wrong. It just gets annoying to have to constantly look at them. So I wish that my life had that remote control. I want to rewind to when I didn't have to worry, pause on the amazing-life-taking moments, fast--forward over the tears and life-shattering hurt, and maybe every once in a while I will pause and walk away from the "screen". I don't encourage running away from your problems but you don't have to be worrying over them 24/7. Take a break. Pause it. Look at it. Look away. After a while, come back to it with a fresh mind and a cleaner heart, then and only then, will your problem become easier.

Being young, I may not have all the answers and may not even understand the questions but I have lived and experienced enough to say that I have some answers and some questions don't scare me anymore. I have loved and been hurt more than I would like to admit but that doesn't stop me from living the life I want to live. I still have my dreams, my hopes, my heart, and my connections with the people and world around me.

Pause it. Look at it. Look Away. Come Back Anew.
There may not be a physical remote control but the decisions we make in life can be our own and personal remote. Pushing the right buttons can get you the results you desire...as long as you are passionate enough about them.
