Acceptance

Acceptance. Its a word that we dont use often or atleast i dont. Its a word that most of us are blind to see because instead of accepting we try to change it. Sometimes in life and in reality accepting something the way it is and going with it, is better than changing it. Good things could happen with new things correct? Or good things come to those who wait... and see. Today was much different than other days. I feel like i took off a blind fold. I feel like I dont need a telescope to see into the sky to see farther than what we can to the naked eye of a human. Honestly. I stayed in the house most of the day because my host mother was busy and which i had no problem with. I watched movies in italian and studied some italian words and even asked for help on some stuff. Then around 5 we went out, just my host mom and i and went shopping. Must i add that i have gotten my first pair of italian pants.. partially because none of my pants fit me anymore and not because im getting fat! but because i have lost around 10-15 pounds. lol. unfortunetly not intentionally. Anyways, we went out and it was like I finally could see passed this wall i had built up as soon as i got here and was admiring all the buildings and all the love. Love is not the same as it is in the USA as to here, i mean to a certain extent... The love i mean is not between a bf and gf but a love for the surroundings, the family, the culture and the food. Its so weird yet so amazing to me to see these interactions. People love what they have even if its not USA high priced wanting more quality. People love what they have. They walk and ride bikes everywhere, of course there are cars but thats only if its too far or something like that. People say Ciao always. which is hello and goodbye but not just hello and goodbye but with a smile on their face as if nothing in their lives could go wrong. They love laughing and talking and smiling. They love family and people. The love for one another in a family way is amazing to me. Not because i dont know the feeling but because in the USA a family gathering is texting in the same room, or randomly going out to eat... but here its going out for a walk to feel the cool air, to drink and to eat together often. to hug and to kiss cheek to cheek. Its weird to most but comforting to some... and in my eyes i think we should all stress to find the comfort in the small things because really... what are we left with in the end?
