Lord grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.I am a free thinker, but this verse my dad imparted left a lasting impression, and I can't help but feel that right now, I need that serenity, to accept what I can't change.I think I've encountered something immovable, and I went against my stubborn emotions to try and prod it along. It could have just snowballed though, but perhaps I need this change. I just wished I could have seen it coming, but I was too clouded by vague hopes. Now on hindsight, it would have taken a miracle to materialize.There were two equal sides to the flawless sphere, and while I perpetually saw the ignorance of one, the other was a complete opposite. I could've glanced over before, but ignorance was bliss, and it was folly to be wise.
