We are continually faced with choices every single day. When you got up this morning, what to wear, what makeup, what to do with your hair, whether to go to your first class or not, to walk to take the bus. But how many of these choices are hard? None of them. We get so used to making such trivial and unimportant decisions that when the hard ones come up... We panic. Maybe youre one of those people who can make any decision in an instant. Just like that. I am not. It is RIDICULOUSLY hard for me to make any decisions. The choices we make that change who we are, are these kinds of decisions. It is time to be brave. To make the changes I want to see in my life. To be opinionated, and stand up for what I believe, or even decide what it is that I Do believe. To face my fears. To become the person I WANT to be rather than who I have let myself become. The lack of decisions, the lack of strength, and my fear have overcome my ability to MAKE THE CHANGE! The time for me is now, The time for ALL OF US, is now,. Don't let yourself get in the way of becoming the You, that You want to be and are completely capable of being.

This was shared with me by a friend and it definitely hit home for me. Apply it to your life. Face the Enemy within!!
"Decide now, because destiny waits for no man, when your time comes and a thousand different voices try to tell you you're not ready for it, listen instead to that lone voice of descent, the one that says you are ready, you are prepared, its all up to you now."

Love and Be Loved
The last few days people keep saying things that have really caught my attention concerning love and I just can't ignore my thoughts any longer. In the last week I have had 3 of my friends get engaged! This is crazy and exciting and I can't be happier for them. They have found Love!! Isn't that what we all want? I know I do. Love.. What a strange idea though. I guess until I experience its a concept quite like "Forever" Just a difficult concept to fully grasp. I mean, What does that even mean? And what does it even mean to Love?
A recent conversation I had with a friend led me to the conclusion that we have to love ourselves first, before we can expect anyone to love us in return. This friend, was struggling with a girl that he liked and was willing to fight for her and make it work, and she...well.. wasn't. The worst part in all of this was that he blamed himself. "People fight for things worth fighting for" he told me. This absolutely tore me to pieces.
He is worth it. I am worth it. We are ALL WORTH FIGHTING FOR!! If your love doesn't think you worthy to fight for, they are NOT WORTH IT! and You DESERVE SO MUCH BETTER!!
Why are we so hard on ourselves? I realized as I was telling him this, that I was being a hypocrite. Being down on myself and blaming myself for the lack of love I get from others? Guilty! I need to take my own advice. I have to love myself, and be confident in MYSELF before I can expect any devotion or love from anyone. I mean, come on people, lets be realistic here... Not everyone is going to Love you, or even Like you, but if a person cannot accept you fully and completely exactly the way you are, you don't belong together. That is my personal opinion anyways, take it or leave it.
I was dating a guy there for a while who I thought I was completely in love with. He made me better. He made me stronger, and I absolutely loved talking to him, and the way he made me feel. When he told me he didn't feel the same way anymore, I was devastated, I still cared so deeply for him and he had moved on. After everything I've heard and the thinking that I have done the last few days, I realized and accepted the fact that... if it didn't work out, it wasn't meant to be.
Why settle for someone who doesn't love you as much as you love them. Why settle for someone you have to convince to love you? NEVER settle for LESS than You DESERVE.
So what does it mean to love and be loved? I guess to me, Love is trust. Love is Giving myself to someone completely. Love is wanting to be with them always. Love is someone who makes me a better person. Love is friendship. Love is appreciation for each other. Love is acceptance of every flaw. Love is priceless. Love is compromise.
