It's been over a year now since I left for my cruise ship job. Does time heal all wounds? Are things that were touchy for me then better now? Have I grown up and become more of a woman? There are still certain issues that I am dealing with a whole year later. Running away from your problems can sometimes help, but it does not fix all. Running is a temporary solution, but you cannot realistically run and live life to the fullest forever. I definitally have grown up in a lot of ways. I am more loving and patient. I am more understanding. My eyes are opened to the reality of the world, to other cultures and to the way a woman should be treated by a man. I understand that I am beautiful, but there is some amount of beauty in everyone as well. I am unique however not above any others. People generally want to be loved and everyone has the ability to share their love in one way or another. Life is short and can end far sooner then we ever expect. We need to make he most of the time that we have here with the ones that we love. These are all things that I now know.
I have decided to brush up on my french.
