We Accept....

Acceptance

No matter how long we’ve known a person, no matter the relationship or bond, you’ll only ever know as much about somebody as they want you to know. Just like onions, we all have layers and we peel them back one by one showing each other new things. Trust people to be who they’ve always shown you they are, that should be the expectation, anything beyond that should be seen as potential but not taken for promise. Every adult isn’t grown, age defines time, it doesn’t measure maturity. However we aren’t to judge people on the layers they reveal regardless of whether or not we approve, true serenity comes when we trade our expectations for acceptance. To embrace and accept people as who they are does not require you to approve. We all may agree on the necessity of growth and change but we won’t all be in agreement on how we do it.
