When you were little did your parents ever remind you that the world actually did not revolve around you? My mother had to do this a lot when I was little, and then life started to remind me that it was not all about me. In families, it's often true that one member of the family is focused on more than others. Now, this probably isn't true for people with siblings. For only children, it is. The focus stays on that child, because it's not required anywhere else. 

Anyway, life has once again reminded me that I am not the center of the universe. My universe, yes; but not the one we all share. I don't really struggle with needing attention like I did when I was a young girl, but I do often have to be reminded that the world wasn't made to accommodate me -- that I will not get everything I want. And neither will you.

What's that song? "You can't always get what you want." Who sang that? Do you remember? 

I don't, but it's true. You don't always get what you want, but sometimes you'll find that you get what you need. So in the meantime, I'm gonna pray for peace with the way the world works.

catch you later,

And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. // Philippians 4:7 KJV
