This wasn’t at all what it was supposed to be. I had big plans, it was going to have beautiful fruit, and lush green leaves. As I explored its road the fruit had no place in its journey. Unfortunately their memory could not simply be destroyed. I had to find ways to overcome old mistakes and make the most of what I had to work with. The darkness blended with the lush red apples, but in turn it created a haunting scar.
Rather than trash what I had I pushed forward. Eventually my journey came to an end and I reflected on the time I had with this tree. Though some moments were heart breaking, and others were frustrating, they were collectively delightful.
Our journey on the road of life has many obstacles, we will make many mistakes, and experience heart break. This is all a part of the adventure. Don’t give up on yourself because of a few unchangeable mistakes or incredible heart breaks, because ultimately at the end of your life, if you strive to be good, give good, and find ways to avoid making the same old mistakes you will be the tree you always wanted to be.
