We all need to open our eyes.

This is for the ones who are living their life for everyone but themselves! This is something I think all of you would appreciate hearing, or reading. In my nineteen years of living, I've spent half of it, looking for others to help, completely ignoring that I need help! I've spent my time with males, who are "broken" & I wanted to help them, help them see what they are capable of, just with a little bit of hope, that they can better themselves, make what they want to happen, happen!

I have recently left my fiancee, & came back home. I realized, I wasn't going to better myself there, or in that relationship. I was only getting pulled down. So, I left. It's hard, hardest thing I've had to do yet. But, I need to do this for myself. & It's scary, realizing, I have no idea how to live MY life, for ME. But I'm going to learn. Even if I need to start back with crawling. I wrote this earlier & I hope it helps some of you, & gives you sometype of push, in the direction you want to be in, or should be.

But always remember, we only have one life. & that life is ours. It's not meant to be spent on someone else. You can do anything you want to do, it truly is, never too late. Even though I'm fairly new at this, I still have my hopes & beliefs higher then ever, & yours can be too.

------------------------------------------------------
I can be someone completely different. Someone I love. I need to learn how to love myself, before I can ever love you & spend my life with you, or anyone else. I want to become my own person. My very own person, who I can cherish, & I can look into the mirror & think to myself -Wow, look at you. You did this. By yourself. You did the right thing, you took the right path. Just remember, it is NEVER too late. You can do anything, youre incredible & youre stronger then ever- One day, I want to be able to speak out loud, without shame, or insecurities, I WILL speak that out loud one day.

Simply put, this is inspirational!

This really hits close to home for me, because I am going through something similar to this myself. I'd read it earlier and had meant to respond, but the words had escaped me. Perhaps the reason was because I wasn't ready yet to face this truth for myself. Even though I've always told other people who come to me for advise what you have said here, I feel like I haven't taken my own advise. I'd always said that I wouldn't live my life for someone else, but rather share it with someone, and I don't want to forget that promise I made myself. But I'm scared, scared of the unknown... My heart aches just from talking about it right now... not only because I know that this is the hard truth but also because it might just be the hardest decision of my life...

But always remember, we only have one life. & that life is ours. It's not meant to be spent on someone else. You can do anything you want to do, it truly is, never too late.

i learned that lesson at such a young age, im only 19 but about 7 months ago i realized my life is MINE. and through the process of realization i finally feel free. i think the only way to get rid our overwhelming sadness and insecurities is through this message. once we have learned that our life is only important to us because we are the only ones living it, we are then able to grow as a person and mature. i am proud to say i have had a lot of help and now i have become my real self and not what i think everyone else wants and expects of me, at such an early age too. i am happy you have spread the word , we all need a little inspiration.

That's true... but I feel that I can't do that, because then I feel alone and like I have no goal in life... I live for myself and find joy when I help others, I just don't expect something from them... I help others because it makes me feel satisfied. However, I don't put others needs in front of mine.
