"For Once In My Life"

For once in my life I have someone who needs me
Someone I've needed so long
For once, unafraid, I can go where life leads me
And somehow I know I'll be strong

For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of
Long before I knew
Someone warm like you
Would make my dreams come true

For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me
Not like it's hurt me before
For once, I have something I know won't desert me
I'm not alone anymore

For once, I can say, this is mine, you can't take it
As long as I know I have love, I can make it
For once in my life, I have someone who needs me - Stevie Wonder

Those words are from a popular song by Stevie Wonder talking about finding that true love and feeling satisfied with the person you found is the person for you and you for them. I look forward to that day that I will place a ring on that pretty finger of my beautiful bride and to walk to the reception and sing this song to this beautiful heaven-sent blessing. How my family and closest family will have a new daughter to introduce to the family. Their Patrick with his special someone. Someone to come home to, to argue with and make up with food and special surprises. To have someone to vent to and pick on only to laugh until you cry again

My dad and I were sitting in the living room discussing the future and relationships and he said "Son, whatever you do in life be intentional. If you do not plan to make whoever your pursuing a permanent thing do not invest or pursue it. In all aspects" Those words ringed into me. I want to have something that comes to me to be positive and long-term. The way you can make the outcome be the outcome you strive for you need to project your mindset into the one you want for yourself. Do not go looking for what you think you need for what you need will find you when its ready to be found or when God allows you to find it.

We live for now and we as a generation have the shortest patience span. Living for cheap thrills and quick satisfactions. Instead of working and fighting and taking time to make something that will last longer and has more to offer. When you get that attitude and set that as the goal and nothing short of that you will begin to find what you looking for, But if you are there and you still have not found your other do not fret. Your partner may not be there yet, instead pray and keep your eyes on Jesus and when both you and your future partner are ready you will be put in each others' lives.

Enjoy the journey and do not worry about the destination. You will get there when you need to, not when you want too.

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?
