I'll Figure This Out

I guess I don’t have much to say.

I was trying really hard to write something tonight, but nothing wanted to pour out onto the page.

It’s been a little slow in the writing department because of school, but I’ve been done with school for two weeks!  There’s just not enough time in the day to get what I want done.

I’ll figure this out sooner or later!

I think going to a library will help tremendously or even sitting in the park or beach to get my writing done.  Going to the library for school work worked out so well, why wouldn’t it for this?

I need to get back into the habit of posting onto this blog a little more frequently; not only for my readers, but for myself.

Not Enough

I do believe in miracles.

I do believe what is not going ideally will certainly fall into place.  Eventually.

It’s just so difficult to see the light at the end of the tunnel when a series of unfortunate situations keep happening and there doesn’t seem to be a breather.  It’s a heartbreaking moment when you feel helpless.  

You want to be able to do more for that one person, but realistically, all you can do is be by his or her side.

Sometimes, it doesn’t even feel like enough.

Go!

Why do we make plans to have a few drinks with our friends?

Why do we make plans to have a dinner and see a movie with our significant other?

Why do any of us get out there, kick back, and relax?

It's simple: our sanity!

In my opinion, it is not healthy to be cooped up inside for a long period of time. You need to clear your mind, see the world, get some fresh air, and experience new things!

Get those endorphins to release!

You'll instantly feel a bit calmer and at ease once you allow your body to experience some fun. :-)

So, I encourage you to go out. First and foremost, be responsible, always. Laugh until your stomach aches, smile a lot until your checks hurt, and create memories!

Tainted

She sees now that their relationships are tainted.  She’s come to the conclusion that not even a miracle can salvage what they had.

Every day is just a reminder of how upsetting it all is.  No one can truly understand unless they’ve experienced it themselves.  Never did she think it would be like this.

Her future is very crystal clear if this all continues.  It’s not fair, but what can one do if at every turn she is not being heard?

Through this all, she has realized how important feelings are.  They should never be ignored.  She just wished everyone understood that.

Support

It’s a wonderful feeling when you are surrounded by people who are applauding and encouraging you in all that you’re doing.

Hold on to those people; keep them close beside you.  Those are the ones who will be with you through thick and thin without having to question it.

The people, who are interrogating your decisions and are not showing support, let them go.  You don’t have to let them go forever, but at least for a short period of time so that they can rethink and put themselves in your shoes.

Negativity is never a good thing.  They should be lifting up your spirits when needed and giving you advice.  After all, isn’t that what family and friends are all about?

Mandatory or Choice?

“When you have kids in the future, will you bring them up Catholic?”

This was the question asked to me and I quickly answered, “yes”.  But, then I had time to think about it.

Would I really?  I’m not so sure.

When I think back, I remember feeling miserable in Sunday school and Confirmation classes when I was in middle school.  I did not like it one bit!  But, it was mandatory by my parents.  And, when eighth grade came and it was my choice if I wanted to complete one more year of Sunday school, I chose not to.  That made me happy.

As I got older, it was my choice if I wanted to attend church with my parents.  If I did not want to go, they did not force me.

I keep thinking; would I really want to put my son or daughter through that?  They will be young.  Why would I make it mandatory for them?  Why can’t it wait until they are a bit older?

Maybe I will raise them Catholic and when they are old enough, they can make the choices for themselves regarding religion.  There are many different faiths, so why can’t they explore?

I am very open to the idea.

You and Happiness

You don’t need to prove anything to anyone but yourself.

Don’t worry about what others are saying and don’t worry about what others are thinking.  By allowing yourself to think about it, you’re harming yourself.  If you’re allowing yourself to get agitated over it, you’re taking a step back.  It’s not worth the aggravation.

Don’t let anyone destroy your happiness.  Continue to go about your day and move forward.  You’ll be pleased in the end.
