Sunsets

Lately I have been sitting on my front porch doing school stuff and writing blogs because it is just a lot nicer to be outside and let’s be real, in the summer nobody wants to be inside.  Tonight while I was sitting work on a different blog (spoiler alert, it is a song, by Green Day, that is in a musical) I caught some of the sunset, through the massive maple and apple trees in my front yard. 

I love sunsets, they are all beautiful, some more than others, but every single one is unique and special which makes me want to spend all of my evenings on a lake in the middle of nowhere watching them.  There are a lot of things that are beautiful, unique and special on Earth though; around 7 billion I think, I am sure it is more but the point is there is a lot.  Each person is beautiful, unique and special whether they think so or not, the main issue is getting a person to realize it about themselves.  My partial solution of the day is this, when you see a sunset and just stand, sit or lay in awe of it’s beauty think of yourself, you are just like the sunset. 

Sunsets are not just the sun though, without clouds and dark spots there would be no real beauty.  Through life there are struggles and dark spots but that is what makes up a person and without challenges a person would be left shallow so instead of being ashamed and try and hide show your real beauty of your true self. 

The little daily reminders that you are incredible, have a purpose, bring beauty like a sunset other peoples’ worlds is what are needed.  If you get the chance, remind yourself of a sunset or somebody else because hearing it from somebody else always holds a lot more meaning.  You are a sunset! J
