Life is Easy

For majority of my young lifetime I thought the journey of life was simple. You just make decisions and work as hard as you want to get where you want to be. Elementary school, middle school, and even high school were a breeze especially since I didn't participate in any drama that's been told by people or portrayed in the entertainment business. Choosing the university to attend was quite straightforward as well. The academics always came easy to me and learning is something I seem to excel at. As a result, finding a major to get a degree in and finding a job was as painless as it gets. All of these things plus being surrounded by great friends and family have led to an amazing life (so far).

But life is easy when you have complete (or almost) control of it. Growing up, my brother would call me a robot because of the lack of emotional that I expressed and how I go about everything very logically. He would constantly blubber about issues like choosing a job or how growing up were difficult. I thought he was a fool for being so emotional and illogical.

It has only been recently where I've realized why people risk their emotions (and insanity). It's when you become vulnerable where the most satisfying moments of life occur (in my opinion). Deeper connections are made when you don't put barrier between you and the outside. While not having control of every aspect can be difficult for some (including me majority of the time), it's worth experiencing various outside facets of life especially emotional. The emotional highs are higher and the emotion lows are lower but being vulnerable is definitely worth the meaning and value that it adds to life.
