Sometimes the truth hurts. I am fortunate to have friends who speak their minds. My friends are honest and sometimes blunt, but it's usually necessary.
There has been a lot on my mind lately.
It's really hard to face the facts and notice the negative when, for so long, you've fought for the positive. When the red flags are raised, it's time to take a step back and read the fine print. That stupid fine print is the part that always gets you in trouble. It's the secret that someone has kept from you, it's the lie someone has told you, it's the ugly truth that lies beneath the perfections. Sometimes I wish I could just mark out the fine print and pretend it didn't exist. But as we all know, a time comes when those tiny little words at the bottom of the page determine the outcome.
Life is hard. I don't think it would be good if it was easy. If everything was handed to you, the perfect job; the perfect husband; the perfect family; the perfect everything, life wouldn't have the surprises, the romance, or the thrills. Granted, we wouldn't have the heartbreak, the sadness, or the fear, but LIFE itself would lose its glamour.
I've never had it "easy". I'm thankful that I've never had it "hard" either. But I've always had to work for what I wanted. I'm grateful for my parents because that is the woman they raised me to be. I don't believe in gliding through life. I am not the kind of girl who wants a boy to buy me everything. I don't expect to receive anything. I know I will get what I want because I will work until I do.
That being said, I'm not much of a decision maker. I always fear that I will make the wrong choice and regret it. I'm afraid to hurt someone else in the process. I don't want to look back and wonder "what if". I have several decisions to make in the near future. None of them are easy, and all of them will affect my life in many ways. All I can do is pray that the decisions I make are the right ones.
For those of you that are still reading, you're either really bored and have nothing better to do or you're a good friend. Either way, I never turn down advice. Like I said, my friends are honest with me and it makes my decisions a little more clear.
That's all for today. Thanks for reading! :)
