Decisions?

so do it. decide. is this the life you want to live? is this the person you want to love? is this the best person you can be? -greys anatomy

I'm currently at a crossroads with life; I'm stuck making a life altering and changing decision that is going to drastically change me. I am confused, I've been pulled apart into many different directions and so far I don't know what piece to follow. One of two directions can be chosen, both with drastically different outcomes. In this case, this is nothing my normal pros and cons list can fix. It's something I have to choose/chosen on my own now. It's something I needed/need to made a decision about right now in the/this moment.

As a part of this, I have came to understand that not everyone can, will, or be willing to be there for me in the way I want them or need them to be and I have to learn to be okay with that or be lonely; and at this/the moment, being lonely may/was even be better.

In life we are faced with decisions that we may not want to make; these decisions may even remind us of what wrong or right we done in our past. We're faced with the truth of who we actually are.

Personally, with the decision(s) I am faced with, I just keep thinking one single question: Who am I and why am I here? That question may seem pretty loaded, but it can also give direction and guide you in pretty much situation.

I'm being completely honest, I don't know the answer to that question. People can try and answer is for me and whatever, but I just can't sit down and think about an honest answer for myself. I known that others can give their own opinions on who they think I am, but they're not in my head like I am. No one can change me or my decisions; but maybe in this case, no answer is an answer or maybe even the best answer.

It's my choice to whether of not involve people in this decision that I'm struggling with. Its my choice to even tell anyone that I even have to make a decision. Life is all about choices and I'm beginning to learn that every choice comes with a consequence, positive or negative. Maybe I need to make this decision in a way that reflects what I want and need instead of what others want for me. Maybe I need to jus do me. Maybe I need to learn that I can't let other in.

Breathe in. Breathe out. Decide.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
