My Turn

I am your ride or die. I will do anything for you. I will go wherever you invite me. I want you to know I will show up. I will be there. I will support you. But there are so many times I don’t get that in return.

You know those feelings when you try to get your children, family, or friends to go places you enjoy. “Hey I will pay if you would just go with us.”. But they never want to go. So instead you cancel your plans or never make the plans. You feel guilty for leaving your loved ones behind. What if they need me while I’m away. I have felt these feelings far too many times.

I feel each one of these to my core. I enjoy going on adventures and making memories. I have always felt adventures and memories were more valuable than any worldly possessions. But if I leave the ones I love behind it leaves an empty space in my heart. I never get to truly enjoy the adventure that awaits. I always find myself saying “I wish she or he would have come”, “I know she or he would have loved this”, “Am I being selfish for not staying home” or “Why do you think he or she would not enjoy this”.

When is it my turn? There will come a day when adventures will be no more.When that days comes I will say “It is my turn Lord”!Take me on the best adventure!
