| I was reading my science fiction book for class and came across this sentence: "If you work hard enough at something that doesn't matter, you can forget for a while about the things that do." This hit close to home. Personal burdens had been shoved onto the back burner because I choose to keep myself busy with my internship, studying, going to classes, etc etc. It's a lot easier to fool yourself into thinking that you simply just don't have the time to worry about things when you're so preoccupied with busy work. It's good in a way because I save myself from a lotta stress...but then I also miss out on a lot, bad or good. How foolish to me to also believe that I can control when things happen. Because very rarely can situations happen on your terms. Time to own up to it. |

| "How can you love me if you don't love yourself first?" The most profound saying I have heard in a long time...and it was taken out of context hahaha |

| I want... -to be a more attentive sister and daughter. -to be a more effective listener. -to be able to be with my boyfriend for more than several times each year. -to be a more understanding girlfriend. -to quickly adapt to change. -to see the positive side and appreciate the little things. -to not be a flake and keep my word. -to make time to do things that really matter (and NOT spend it on the internet) -to put in an honest effort into working things out with God. -to put words into action. |

| I've realized that I tend to trust people really easily. I can name many incidences where, in my mind, I've considered certain people to be my friends, only to find out that I'm the only one to call what we had a "friendship". It's always really disappointing to find out that everything had been a one-way relationship; I give a lot of myself to my true friends...maybe I'm too...naiive? Foolish? Hopeful? I feel my heart being hardened a lot nowadays. Too many disappointments from people that were important to you can make even the most optimistic person fall into a rut. |
