Blog 6: Finding Onesself

We have to look inside ourselves, not outside, to find our true selves.  One has to be honest and realize change is a part of life.  Everyone has change in their lives.  Whether it be accidental, intentional, or natural-change is a part of life.





When the girl was young she felt as though she was the most beautiful person, and so did others around her.  They even had high expectations for her future.  As she became older, she became more rambunctious.  She was upset when her brothers received guns and she was left to play with her bow and arrow.  One fatal day, they were playing, she was shot in the eye by her brother.  This was the accident that changed her life.  He swore her not to tell, and she did not.  She lost the sight in her eye and it changed her looks, she felt for the worse.  Life brings the unexpected, the loss of sight in one eye brought this young girl questioning looks and unanswered questions.

After she was married and had a child she realized she was still beautiful.  Her daughter told her that her eye looked like the world.  She knew then, she had not lost her beauty.  There are many ways to look at life, one way, is from the inside out.  If we could all see life like a child.  They do not see the ugly, and they look for the beautiful in people.  Look at life as if you may not see it tomorrow. Who knows you may not.
