Shaping of the world

I believe in good and bad, and right from wrong. It is true that shaping is a way that most people look at the world, as so do I. At the same time I also think that the idea of seperating good and bad is very closed minded, because when you think about it what necesirally is right and what is wrong? Grendels view of the world and shaping causes him to be angry and bitter, a way most people dont want to live. If doing one wrong thing in your lifetime causes you to be categorized as "bad" you could be missing out on what someone has to offer. Not being open to the fact that someone can reedem themself causes people to be stuck up and regretful. People deserve second chances so who am I or anyone for that matter to label someone good or bad? Shaping is true but also a very broad way of thinking and allthough some people live by it, everyone deciphers it in their own personal way that makes sense to ourselves.A part of me seperates the good from bad, but at the same time im not quite sure how to define either one. To live a life  believing someone who has once done bad is forever bad isnt living at all. We all make mistakes in this lifetime but its how we grow from it and take that experience that makes us the people that we are. I have always supported forgiveness and looking past things people have done that i dont necessarily agree with, so who am i to distinguish right from wrong?

Bring me Along

In a few months i will be off to college and in the process of packing there will be a select few things that i will make sure to bring along. Firstly i will pack a picture of my family because above everything else i will miss them terribly. A picture of us all together will always spark those memories in my head and get me through the times that I get really homesick. Also i will pack a new pillow i received this year for my birthday from my little sister. The pillow was my favorite gift and stitched across it was the phrase " A sister is a forever friend". When I leave, my little sister will always be apart of me and having the pillow as a friendly reminder to check in with her will keep me close to her. Lastly I would bring my childhood blanket that ive had ever since i was a baby. The blanket reminds me of everything ive been through and how having it with me provides a sense of comfort and care. The best feeling in the world is cuddling up to my blanket after a long day and falling asleep with it my arms.
