Who are you?

I firmly believe that a person should never sacrifice themselves completely to please someone else. Call me a callous bitch, call me selfish, call me whatever you want but I really do think that there is only so much a person should be expected to bend before they start to snap in half.

I think sometimes we really need to ask ourselves those deep thinking questions we all avoid...

Who am I?
What do I want out of my life?
Where am I headed and how will I get there?

Our answers to these questions will often vary in different stages of our lives. As we grow older and enter relationships, we might find that even though these situations start in sync and in line of our plans, the course may change at any given time due to unforeseen circumstances, like a flash flood or a sudden change in weather that was unforecasted. Timing really is everything. How do you deal with it? Do you melt down and have a nervous breakdown, or do you embrace the changes maturely and assess the situation from a realistic point of view without disregarding your own desires? That is what I believe is key. Looking at all the angles is crucial in any decision making process. You have to fight until you can't fight anymore, and you need to sometimes take rests much like a boxing match to assess the current match and strategize your next moves. You need to be the warrior of your own life and not expect someone else to swoop in and save the day for you. You are the soldier and you have been training for these battles your entire life, each and every single day.

No matter how hard situations get, there is only so much each one of us can do to turn it into something positive. Be strong and stay happy and never blame anyone else for a situation being what it is. Sometimes things happen that alter the original course. It's life and its unpredictable but it's meant to happen the way it does. Smile and look forward to the things and people that make you happy. That's all any of us can really do.

Love with all your heart and fight with all your might.
It will all work out, when the timing is right.

Ciao
