So I am currently learning a very very tough lesson…the grass is not always greener.
Have you ever heard this expression – you probably have if you don’t live under a rock. I have been hearing this expression since I was a child. It’s often said as an expression of warning, that you should be thankful for what you have; don’t yearn for what others have because you don’t know the whole
situation. The grass may look green but it might not be the kind of green you are looking for.
I think anyone who is reading this can relate to a time or instance where this has happened – if you haven’t - come hang out with me and I can give you some of mine!
I don’t like to say I have regrets about making decisions, because I really do believe that everything happens for a reason – most of the time even in the worst situation you gain strength, experience, patience, or learn a hell of a lot more about yourself.
Do you ever make a decision and feel more lost then you thought you would? That is where I am in life right now. I made a decision to go to the other side and check out the greener grass and guess what – the grass ain’t all that great! And now I am lost. I can’t go back to the other side, cause I left there not wanting to go back. Now I am on this “green” hill and I don’t want to be there either. And to be honest it kind of just feels like I am rolling downhill, let’s not be extreme and say to rock bottom, but you could say it’s not the top of the hill where I thought I would be!
What’s my next step? Are you ever scared to take the next step when the last leap wasn’t a good one? I don’t see a “greener” hill nearby? How long do I stay on this green hill that is starting to look yellow and brown!
I know this isn't an advice column and most of my blog posts are often fun, light, or crazy sarcastic - I bounce around, you get it- but this one sincerely is asking for advice. I'm not perfect - shocker! - I make mistakes and like I said before, I don't have regrets but my decisions do make me hesitate in taking the next step...whatever the next step may be...
Cheers to greener grass!
