THOUGHT: As stated by Martin Luther King Jr., "Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle. And so we must straighten our backs and work for our freedom. A man can't ride you unless your back is bent."Right now in my life I can't even begin to express how content I am with my life. Everything is perfect the way it is, for now : ) . Not too long ago, I was confused and had no idea what to do. My mind was vexed and I did not know how to solve that problem. In the end? I did what I knew in my heart would make me happy, not what would make the people around me happy.
This is one of the most important lessons to learn in life. Pleasing everyone is not going to happen so stop trying. Also, it is not necessary for you to walk all over other people and make their lives miserable to make yourself happy. Lastly, happiness cannot be gained through someone else' happiness. In order to make other people happy, you need to know what is best and will make you happy. I'm not talking about happiness in this very second and this very minute. I'm talking happiness in the long run. Contentment through success and achievement.
To all those stuck in an unhappy relationship: being free is such a liberating feeling. I'm not saying that I want to be single my whole life,
definitely not single my whole life. But maybe your relationship isn't working simply because you two need time away from each other. No matter how horrible that may sound in this moment and time. Sometimes it is for the best.
When my parents told me I was too young to date, they were right ! As teenagers we're unstable ! So how can we possibly maintain a stable relationship ? With age comes stability, but right now, it's a time of experiments, testing your limits and discovering who you really are. You can't do that when you've become attached to someone else. They begin to define who you are and slowly you are molded into who they want you to be instead of who you really are.
In general, I can always commit in a couple years, but for now, freedom's my recipe for happiness. Freedom: liberation from restraint or from the power of another.
