experience refines us
throughout my 33 years on earth, i have traveled numerous roads, steered off track more times than i would like to mention, ventured into many unknowns, stepped right into situations that i KNEW would end disastrously with immeasurable heartache, and walked countless miles in shoes that did not fit, only to discover the painful blisters that confirmed my journey, fortunately, heal in time. i would not, strange as it may seem, erase a single moment i have encountered because each one has taught me a lesson that is worth its weight in gold. i am still learning every day, but i can say with unwavering certainty that experience refines us. this is the beauty of becoming older. some things just keep getting better.
