Pinterest



Pinterest is full of thought-provoking quotes and I’m tempted to print the ones I have pinned to make a scrapbook.  Strange?  I have it all planned out in my head on how I will organize it!  I think it would be great to be able to pull out the album for inspiration or for a push in the right direction.

These quotes expressed everything I felt at that particular moment when I stumbled upon them.  They made me realize that it was okay to feel certain emotions and to act a certain way; nothing is ever wrong.  We are entitled to our responses and I’ve finally learned to never apologize for it.  If anyone has a problem, point them in the direction of the door!

Let You Down



I decided to write a different kind of post tonight.  This piece is brought to you by a song!

Have you ever had one of those days when you’re in the mood to listen to a certain genre of music?  On my way to the gym, I wanted to listen to Three Days Grace.  I’ve listened to this CD countless of times before, but tonight, the lyrics to “Let You Down” stirred up a lot of emotions and thoughts.

Trust me
I'll be there when you need me
You'll be safe here
And when you finally trust me
Finally believe in me

I will let you down
I'll let you down, I'll
When you finally trust me
Finally believe in me

Whether it’s a family member or a close friend, there’s always that one person who you think you can count on.  They might give you the speech, “I’m here when you need me” or “You can count on me to be there.”  And, it’s in our nature to have faith in them, to trust them.

But, they let you down in the end.  Sometimes, it happens more than once or twice.  It’s your decision when to put your foot down and to realize that they can’t be relied on for support.

Go elsewhere for a venting session and advice.  Don’t continue to be led on, to build up your hope, only to have it snatched away from you.

We are better than that.  We deserve better.
