Proceed Or Halt

When things don't come together, take the hint.

Proceed Or Halt
Preservation Of Moments

In life, we encounter people. Some of these people are friends and some make us feel like we want more.

It's fascinating how you cross paths, but things don't always work out as you planned.

At times, there is a gut feeling to go against the way life is moving.

From what I've figured out, you can't force what isn't meant to be.

This doesn't mean that the person you are directing these feelings towards will feel the same way. The hint to take here is that is that you'll keep trying even in a situation that doesn't benefit you. Although, this isn't really good for you or them, because it becomes wasted time. You do gain personal growth of sorts, but don't lose all your time in the process.

The key takeaway here is that if it isn't meant to be, then it isn't meant to be. Period. Things are working out for a reason. Why do you ask? You don't know it when it's happening, but it's life's way of showing that there are better things in store for you. Trust me when I say, anyone who doesn't like you isn't worth your time.

You only stay stuck to it because it's in front of you. You survived before all this. Don't settle for less.

Don't settle for something momentary. You are worth so much more than that. Your effort counts in karma points. You mean well, but this isn't always perceived how you intend it. It's more than you can say for most people though, so keep doing good, but don't waste your time on things that aren't worth it.

Another thing to know is that you should never go in worrying if the other person is going to write back or even see your message. Your effort lies in the fact that you sent the message from square one.

Anyway, take that for what it's worth. Proceed in being a good person, and a halt in settling for less.

You're worth your weight in gold. Don't ever forget that.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
