You've probably heard the old saying, "You don't know what you got 'til it's gone." I enjoy that one, but lately I've felt more like "You don't know what you want 'til you have it."
I always thought I knew what I wanted. For my major, my profession, girls. But I have learned lately that mistakes must be made to realize what our hearts truly desire.
Architecture seemed perfect. Go to Auburn, graduate, design things for a living. Something happened. I tried it, the real architecture process, and it was not right. Something was off.
I met a girl. She seemed like the girl I could be with for a long time. Suddenly, things changed and it all faded away.
When you want something, it is really just an ideal of some way of your life that you think needs to be changed. When it actually does change your life, you may see that it really is not right for you. It wasn't what you expected.
Things always change. No matter what. People, places, time. Learning to cope with the change and adapting to it is key.
I believe that we must accumulate all the lessons we learn from the mistakes we make in order to become people.
