Be with someone who makes you want to better yourself.
If you aren’t with someone who makes you want to be a better you at the end of the day, I’m not sure you are with the right person; this also goes for friends as well.
Sometimes you have to look at the bigger picture in the long run. Maybe it just isn’t the right time--it happens a lot more then you think.
In order to figure yourself out, you have to take time just to do that and only that. No matter how hard it hits the other person and how hard it hits yourself, at the end of the day, the only person you are completely guaranteed to sleep with at night is yourself.
The future is very much a mystery, just as the next 5 minutes of your life are. Anything can happen. So you take the time to figure yourself out, and so should the other person you’re with, or the friends you hang out with. Taking the time either makes you miss some people more or it makes you realize a lot more as well. Either way, some things are bound to happen by fate.
One thing I have learned is that you cannot change fate. What is meant to happen will happen no matter what it is. The more you try and screw around with the inevitable, the more you are messing up the path you are supposed to be down. You were supposed to be in that spot at the game, you were supposed to get that message from a new number, or hell, you were supposed to wing it and end up at that bar at one in the morning. Those were all supposed to happen.
I think the thing which stops us from making choices we might not want to make is that we are afraid, or scared about what happens next after making a choice. You don’t want to hurt your girlfriend, boyfriend or even your friends. But in order to change and better yourself and whoever else is involved, you have to do that. You need to trust your choices; you need to trust that other person too. If you don’t trust the path that you are on, it isn’t going to end up well.
Trust yourself and trust the path you are on. The grass isn’t always greener on the other side but it is always greener where you water it. I didn’t have to tell you that--it’s just common sense.
The only thing stronger than fear is hope. Trust in the path, and trust in the process.
