You know.

What a day. From sleeping in to American Idol, it's been simply wonderful... Today I discovered three things. One being, I have come to discover that my stroll from Pre-calculus to English Literature is increasingly enthralling due to my quota. Due to a newfound sense of self, I've realized that I'm focusing far too much on myself and not enough about other people. So, in light of this, comes my second discovery. My quota. I challenge myself to meet at least one new person every day and to genuinely care about them. Today I met my quota in James, a Business Management student who happened to open the door for me and happens to be in my Pre-calculus class. Both of which were very pleasant surprises. It was cold. And I am happy.
And for my third discovery, I realized something astounding.
For the first time in a long time, despite whatever, a lot of the pain is a memory and I can't help but thank God for working in my life.

For the first time in a long time, I can be honest when looking at myself and my life and...
I can't help but smile.

I happened upon your blog by "accident". I believe there is no such thing. I just want to say of your belief in romance: YES! It IS there for you! I believe because I found it. But I made one mistake that I hope you don't: don't care for others more than you do yourself. You will too easily give yourself away. Love and respect yourself FIRST. If you need confirmation of this advice, please read _The Courage to Be Yourself_ by Sue Patton Thoele.

I know it's odd to receive a response, much less advice, from a stranger. I just had to reply. I feel I've been where you might be going.

Blessings and Hope for your Future,

I just wanted to thank you for your comment on my blog. Unfortuately, I'm deleting that one. No offense, but I shouldn't have posted to you here under this name; I need a place to journal/blog that I don't start having conversations on. Nonetheless, your comment really helped me and I'm so glad mine helped you!

Blessings,
