I have decided that I'm spending too much time trying to make others happy and in return...all I am getting is pain. I'm wasting my time pleasing others when I should be pleasing myself. I was always scared to be without the one that I devoted most of my life to, but now I realize that it is the one thing that I've needed. To leave my comfort zone puts me at ease. I find myself to be more comfortable than I was. It's strange how the world sometimes doesn't make since. Yet I've learned to take it and hold it with all my strength. I think that sometimes people put too much faith in tomorrow and often forget to live today. We go about our usual routines afraid to change anything. But how do you go about life in the same way everyday? Don't you think that the point of having options and opinions is to grasp them and express them? I broke away from everything I knew. I couldn't have what others had....I didn't want it. I've tried too hard to be what everyone else wants me to be or what I think that they want me to be. And now I'm beginning to see that it's not about how others see you. It's how you see yourself. I believe that life doesn't come at you fast. You go at it fast. If we take the time to slow down enough to enjoy life and the liberties that come with it, then everything would go at a much more relaxing pace. The only stress in life is the stress that we cause ourselves. Take today with a new look. Take in everything that you see and hold it with everything that you have. Take every opportunity that you see and run with it. Take life and love it.
