Live, Love, Be Happy.

I'm not afraid to live
I'm not afraid to live tomorrow
I'm not afraid to live forever
I'm afraid of tomorrow; I'm afraid of forever.

The things that hurt the most are the uncertainties of life and the scariest part of living is life itself. I don't know that I'll ever find true love; I don't know if I'll ever look for true love; I don't know if true love really even exists. All we can do is hope and wait and love unconditionally. Love that is not exclusive and not inhibited, given to absolutely everyone, is true love. I don't want to sit in my tower and wait for someone to tell me they are coming to rescue me... I want to jump out of the tower and know the grass beneath my feet and experience the wind in my hair.

Life doesn't have to start here. There is time to remain a child and feel the warmth of the sun in your soul. It's not all high heals and brief cases... sometimes it's about letting loose and showing your true colors, exposing your heart and letting yourself become vulnerable. When people can see who we really are, they fall madly in love with the very being that you are. It doesn't have to be a romantic love. When you love, you will be loved. We only have one spark of genius, so don't be so quick to smother the flame God has given you. 

Why do we let ourselves become unimportant? Part of love it being able to let yourself be loved. It's not about finding love because everyone has the ability to love; it's about giving love and in return, the love you think you are looking for will find you. God made us to be creatures of habit and love is a habit. So make one out of it. When you are given love, make an imprint on your heart of the love because there will be times when you will need to run your finger over the grains of that imprint to remember why you are still where you are with the people you are with. 

If you wish to be happy, be.
You are the only person who can control whether or not you are going to find the joy in life. Stop blaming others for your decision. If you want to be happy, take action and make yourself happy. If you start finding the beauty in things, there is no way you can avoid being happy. Hurt is going to happen; you either live and learn or leave. 

Time is your possession, now you have to decide what you are going to do with it. You can make it your best friend or your enemy because it's going to happen no matter what.
