Things to keep in mind

So, lately I have felt like I'm just in this state of mind where I don't know what to do and if I'm doing things right or messing everything up. I don't think I'm the only person out there who feels "stuck" for lack of a better word. Feeling stuck is completely normal, but it's the things you do to unstick yourself that change your life. So what I'm going to share with all of the world are the words that keep me going.

The first set that I love is "Silence is the most powerful scream". Sometimes saying nothing at all has more of an effect on people and yourself than 1,000 words. By choosing not to speak you aren't giving up. In fact sometimes it shows that you are finally standing up. Not everything people say changes the world. But I've learned by taking a moment and not vocalizing what you have to say, you can take a moment and hear what somebody else has to say. So often people find themselves talking and getting wrapped up in what they are trying to say. Well why don't we just say it. Or don't. Find out what happens when you give somebody else the chance to speak.

The most important thing that I have learned is that you can't do everything on your own. I'm the type of person who tries to balance a million things on my own shoulders. I get told all of the time that I'm a strong person. Well, sometimes you can only be so strong. We all have some sort of support system and it doesn't show weakness. If anything it shows that we have people to lean on when things ge hectic. I'm happy that I realized this. I began to feel burnt out until I found help. I'm thankful for the people in my life who support me no matter what.

Sometimes, people in your life just aren't worth the stress they cause. This doesn't mean you have to cut them out of your life, but if it's a toxic relationship that's not fair to you either. You deserve so much better than that. If they want to walk out of your life show them the door, but don't let them treat you like the welcome mat. If they left there's usually a reason why. I'm usually all for welcoming the world in my arms, but once you leave me I have a hard time when you come back.

And above all It's never too late to be who you want. If you're not proud of the person you are only you hold the power to change. This is your life. Live it for you. Be proud of the person you are. And if you're not it's not too late. You still have time. Remember the best is yet to come. Only time can tell what will happen. Things don't just happen over night, it takes time to change.

But remember, you have nobody to impress but yourself. Live your life for yourself. I think people are good, but it's the things that happen in life that makes them act otherwise. That being said, be the good.

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way.
