Chapters.

I have a lot of these in my book. A lot. And they aren't always pretty, but then you will come across a scene, and it will leave a mark on your heart. Those scenes are the ones that keep me going, because I know if I wait, another scene is going to return. Another page will be turned and the story will be happy again.

After everything, I still believe in happy endings. Why should I stop?

I feel like I am growing up a lot lately. I am not sure I like all of it or the things I am learning. But growing up is inevitable. So I am taking it with class and trying. I want to try more and more every day.


I think the thing I realized most lately, and the underlining reason for this post is that people are fallible. As much as I want everyone to be perfect, they are not. I am not. Friends will hurt you, Family will hurt you. The love of your life will hurt you. Strangers will hurt you. Its what you do with it that counts.

Forgiveness is hard, but it's also important. I don't want to let them win. I refuse to be the victim. Someone once told me people are in our lives for " a reason, a season, or a lifetime" and sometimes that's just the way it is. You can't stay in contact with everyone, even if it hurts. We just have to realize some people are just part of our journey.

With that being said, I realized more and more who I want in my life. I used to say "need". But I really feel like everyone has the possibility of leaving, and if they do, I know no matter what, I am going to be okay. God is with me. Everyone can leave me, but God will never leave my side. I am never truly alone. Even if it feels like it sometimes. Back to what I was saying.. I realized who I want in my life, who I want to make an effort to keep a relationship with. It's an interesting feeling, and even more interesting that I am going to meet more people someday, and just add to that list.


I feel very aware of life. Very awake. Who knows what tomorrow holds. Whatever it is... this woman will be more than okay.
