Timing is everything.

I can't stop thinking.

I can't stop thinking about this.

I can't stop thinking about that.

I can't stop thinking about the way things play out.

I believe that whatever will be, will be.

I believe that everything happens for a reason.

I can usually hold to these beliefs,

but for the first time in a while,

I want things to work out.

I want my dreams to become reality.

It's one never-ending story.

Every time I go to turn a new page, 

or start a new chapter,

I end up right back where I started.

I feel like certain things are truly meant to be.

There's something always drawing me back.

So here I sit again.

I was perfectly fine,

but now,

my head is reeling,

my heart starts racing,

and I get lost in memories, and distant dreams of what could be.

Dreams of what I want to be.

Timing really is everything isn't it?

Maybe it's the universe sending a sign,

but this really is something.

I can feel it.

Is it worth it to take a risk?

Is it worth it to take a chance,

to take it again?

While I sit and tell myself to stope thinking such absurdities,

I can't help but wonder as my mind wanders.

I guess you never know unless you try.

While I sit and wait for everything to play out,

I'll hold to my dreams,

but always remember in my heart that what is meant to be,

will simply be.

Truly. Madly. Deeply.

Things aren't always perfect.

Somehow, this makes life stunningly beautiful.

I feel perfection, absolute perfection, is an impossibility.

In a sense, it's completely subjective.

Perfection is in the eyes of the beholder.

I strive to be imperfect.

I like the little quirks I have, the awkward moments, and the ridiculous laughs.

My imperfections mold me into who I am.

Luckily,

I've managed to stay true to who I've always wanted to be.

I've watched so many people change right before my eyes,

and it makes me question whether or not I ever knew who they truly were...

I always question, but I never judge,

Another thing I fancy in myself and others.

I believe in withholding judgement.

I believe in offering an opinion and letting people make their own mistakes.

How else will they ever learn?

In addition, what was not right for you may be perfect for someone else.

Your mistake may be someones right move.

I believe in letting people decide what is right for themselves and being there for them, whether it falls together, or it falls apart.

I believe imperfection in all its beauty entails making mistakes.

I've definitely made more than my fair share,

all with a lesson to be learned.

Some lessons I've decided to ignore,

others I've understood right off the bat.

It's good to take the time to remember, that the person you are, is beautiful.

When you feel imperfect or make mistakes,

just remember,

you share that feeling with everyone in the world.

Embrace it.

Love your imperfections and learn from your mistakes.

You will only grow.

When you feel imperfect or make mistakes,

just remember,

you are beautiful,

and you are loved.

Never stop believing in yourself.

P.S. Here is one of my favorite quotes :)

The moment I said it.

Sometimes,

I day dream.

Usually about past memories.

I tend to get lost in them.

I just can't help it.

Sometimes,

that can be embarrassing.

Especially when I get a goofy grin on my face in the middle of campus,

or a slight cringe of embarrassment when I remember something I wish I could forget.

I love memories.

Sometimes,

a place can hold too many memories.

Everywhere you look the past flashes before your eyes.

This can be good or bad, dependent on the situation at hand.

Sometimes,

the memories make me smile and feel lucky to hold it in my heart.

Sometimes,

the memories make me wish I could go back and relive every wonderful moment.

Sometimes,

the memories make me realize how happy I am with the present.

But most of all,

the memories make me miss the people who are part of my story, but haven't been seen in a while.

They make me wish things were different, and that things always work out the way we want them too.

That would make life too easy.

I like a little challenge,

so bring it on universe.

Memories are lovely, but don't get stuck watching the past because chances are you're missing out on the present.

Legally Blonde

Elle Woods, you've inspired me.

You've made me sit back and contemplate upon something when I thought I felt so certian.

Is love enough?

Really though, have you ever thought about it?

Questioned the power of love?

Until now, I never have.

I believed love, true love, could conquer anything.

With love distance means nothing, and no trial nor tribulation could tear it apart.

If there's a will there is a way; love is the way.

In the words of Nicholas Sparks,
"When people care about each other, they always find a way to make it work".

But look at Elle.

She fell head over heels in love,

and she thought he was too,

but it wasn't enough.

That really made me think, and think I did.

Sometimes, love isn't enough.

But you know what that means?

It wasn't true love,

and it wasn't meant to be.

If it was, he wouldn't have let her go.

Luckily, Elle realized this too.

It allowed her to find true love,

and a man that wouldn't let her go.

A man that knew love is all,
and that love was her.

Sometimes, love isn't enough,

But with the right person,

it's all you need.

Chivalry, is it dead?

Dear boys,

We want you to sweep us off our feet,

bring us flowers to see our stunning smiles,

and write us notes to make our cheeks blush with love.

We want you to care about us,

to open doors,

to think about us frequently,

to get jealous sometimes,

to always fight for us and never give up.

We want romantic gestures to show how much you care.

We want to hold your hand,

as you wrap your arm around us,

and kiss you infront of everyone and anyone to show you how much we care.

It's really not all that hard to figure out.

What has happened to this I ask?

Not that it still doesn't exisit.

I know for a fact that it truely does,

and well,

it's lovely.

But I'm seeing it less and less.

So, meet my old friend chivalry.

Go for it, ask a girl on a date.

Getting her number at a party isn't the same thing.

All I'm asking for is a little common decency,

and a lot more respect.

We deserve more.

Lately, I've only been running into guys that seem to not understand any of this.

Really, realize that we have feelings and don't want to just be a girl, we want to be that girl.

We want to be your girl.

The Unknown

Sometimes, life throws more at you than you can manage.
What was once a priority loses its importance to something you know shouldn't be on your mind.
I find myself in that situation exactly.
My mind knows what's right.
I want nothing more than to listen to it.
In fact I do, but then the heart comes whispering.
It begins ever so softly.
You can almost ignore it if you'd like, but it's still there.
Then it grows to the point where there is no way to avoid the takeover.
From rational to emotional.
From the right path to the one that may be wrong, but you want to take ever so much, just to find out where it might lead.
Your heartbeat quickens and your thoughts start spinning.
There are constant butterflies, and not always the good ones.
You think of every possible situation, outcome, possibility, what is wrong, what is right.
Then the next minute you're fine again with the realization that if it's meant to be it will find its way.
I have remind myself of that more frequently than I'd like.
I believe in it wholeheartedly, but sometimes you want it to work faster.
It's hard to listen to your mind when your heart is taking you in the opposite direction.
The question is, who's to say your heart isn't the right voice to listen to?
I tend to like to follow my heart.
It's never steered me in the wrong direction, yet it has led to heartbreak.
But that's part of the lessons life teaches us.
My head tends to hold me back while my heart will take the leap.
However, sometimes you have to listen to both.
Risk and chance are scary games to play, but are involved on both sides.
I'm a hopeless romantic, so risk and chance are my favorites.
I also love when fate is involved.
Fate, it's a funny thing, and works in ways I'll never be able to begin to explain or understand,
but when it intervenes, I like to let it.
Not only that, but I find immense meaning in it.
A special sign from the universe.
Especially when it had been in your thoughts for longer than you'd care to share.
When it comes down to it, trust me, when fates hand graces the situation, don't dismiss it.
Revel in it, take in every moment, because you never know when the situation may arise again.
If you're lucky, you won't lose it.
But life isn't always fair like that, the answers aren't always so simple.
If fate has been involved once, I feel it's likely to happen again.
At least that is what I hold on to in my heart.
There are endless possiblities,
and I'm not afraid to take the leap into the unknown to find them.
This isthe time to explore, dream, and love with all your heart.
The time to take chances on things that seem crazy,
because you never know what will happen.
That alone makes it worththe risk to me,
the openness of such situations.
The person I am,
is always willing to try.
To try for something important, and continue a story that isn't quite over.
To turn a page anew in a direction that may not be perfect, but could be amazing.
To open my mind and heart to new things.
So take chances.
Go for the things you want.
If it doesn't work out, then it wasn't meant to be in the first place, and life goes on.
Enjoy it, revel in the experience and love.
Listen to your heart, it usually knows what it's talking about.

It all starts with a kiss a week.

Promise me this.

Don't ever be afraid to fall head first into love.

It might seem scary.

Guess what?

It is.

But what is life without taking these chances?

Love is amazing.

There is this one look, and words cannot do it justice.

You just know, that with this one look, you mean everything to that person.

Just take the chance.

Who knows what will happen.

Maybe your love will grow over time and become so strong nothing can break it,

or maybe you fall away and out of love.

But at least you had that moment where you wanted nothing more than that person.

Sweet memories were made, and will never be forgotten.

You might hurt, but love is just around the corner.

There's nothing to fear, only a lesson to learn and memories to reminisce upon.

Never give up on love, or being with someone.

When I hear people say they are done trying, my heart breaks a little for them.

Why give up on something so great?

The person you are telling this to may just be the person you are meant to be with,

that loves you more than you can know,

and knows that they could make you happy and care for you with all their heart,

if only you'd just open your eyes,

and let them.

Don't be afraid of the unknown, or giving your heart to someone.

Just remember, everything happens for a reason.

I hope you can make this promise to me.

I hope that no matter what you are happy.

I hope you know what you mean to me.

Love always.
