Liberation

Why is it that every time I get back to normal or my mind becomes at ease, something comes along and messes it all up again! I mean not that it's a bad thing this time; finally. I'm so tired of feeling sad or sorry for myself. So now I'm taking charge of my life. No longer will I let anyone walk on me or ruin my day or week. I'm finally getting comfortable in my own skin. Instead of fearing the future, I now look forward with excitement. No longer will I be confined in the walls I've built around myself that have restricted me for so many years... What a liberating experience! Talking to some of my future college classmates has made me come to the realization that I'm not going to be alone. That there are actually plenty of people out there in the world that share my belief and values. While it was ignorant of me before to think that I would be alone, I've reassured myself of the truth that I won't. I know some of my blog followers aren't at this point in their lives; where you're leaving home and starting your independent life...but that doesn't mean you should wait until then to find yourself. It didn't happen for me until now, but honestly, that was entirely too long. For the past three years, I feared loving and living, and I didn't trust my heart with anyone. Don't put yourself through that. Life is about learning. We all make mistakes so don't restrict yourself from something in fear of making a mistake. But most importantly, never let anyone tell you that you are too young to fall in love. Love is timeless. Love is ageless. No one but you can dictate what your heart feels. So get out there, live your life. What's stopping you?
