Some people underestimate how insightful tv shows can be. Many think it's a waste of time to sit and watch tv shows but you can actually learn a lot. Yes, some shows are just garbage and a waste of time, but some carry messages that many can relate to, only if they watched it.
I was watching a show called Greek this afternoon. It's about fraternities and sororities and college life (I know, it sounds like garbage), but it's really not bad. In this episode, the seniors were preparing to graduate and move on. Casey, one of the sorority girls got accepted into Washington law school. She was afraid to leave her college life and boyfriend, to venture into something more challenging. She told her best friend, "maybe I'm not as strong as you think I am." Her best friend, then, said, "maybe you just took a break from yourself." It was then that I thought, maybe I took a break from myself. Where have I been? It dawned on me that I have not been the best version of me. I guess one thing remained the same though, I was always persistent. I guess now it's about changing direction. I think I was just afraid of making this transition before. There's no holding me back now. I owe this to myself.
This Holy Week, I am determined to carry my crosses no matter how heavy they are. It's no coincidence that I've faced so many struggles and humility during this Lenten season. All I know is, Jesus sacrificed his life on the Cross...the least I can do for Him is to trust; to lay down my pride; to find humility; to love unconditionally; to be thankful...
I'm letting go of the rest.
