Be who you want to be.

Advice for myself~

So many times in life we will feel tempted to compare our lives with others. But that won't do anything except make us feel small, left behind, and stuck. So away with the endless comparison! All that time we spend envying others and feeling sorry for ourselves could go to writing our own stories, making our own memories, and living our own amazing lives!

We all have uniques paths, so how can we place them side by side with someone else's?

Own your own life! & make the most of what you have!:)

Nostalgia

Part of me longs for the old times when we were all together- when we all lived so close, when we walked the streets of Springfield, when we laughed together and had so many good times. High school was definitely not the best era for me, but looking back at least I had amazing friends by my side. Now that we've gone in all different directions, I can't help but feel as if parts of me have been scattered in different directions as well. I long to go back to those times at church when everyone was also together. Things have changed so much; it seems so strange to walk the same halls. I keep wanting to go back, but I know better. You can't recreate the past. Things are always changing, and they will never go back to how they "once were" not matter how badly you want them to. Knowing this, I should be able to let go and move on. It's hard, but I guess in life we can acknowledge those good times in our past without letting them hold us back or making us meloncholy. That way we can focus on the present, move forward, and create new memories!
