Follow Your Heart

If you had one last chance, one last chance to prove you were worthy or to tell someone how you truly felt about them, what would you say? Would that decision affect your life in a positive way? Is it worth hearing what the other person has to say no matter if the response was good or bad? We are hiding behind the what ifs. What if they don't feel the same? What if this changes everything? So what if it does? What if it doesn't? It is so easy to hide behind a closed door when you are afraid of the other side. If we only knew how to overcome our weaknesses by using our strengths. Sometimes we are going to be scared to face the obstacles that life throws at us but we have to be ready to catch them. You can't expect to get off easy. Getting torn down is a part of learning and growing. Being able to face hard times and being able to defeat that. Why do we live in fear? It is easier to be scared and listen to your head than to be strong and follow your heart. Although, following your heart will pay off in the end. A big problem facing society today is that we try to live by what others say. We are so obsessed with trying to impress others that we don't step back to see how that can affect our lives and the lives of the people we love. Steve Jobs once said "Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma- which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition." What I believe this means is that, you shouldn't live someone else's life. Isn't it amazing to know that you are who you are and you are the only person like yourself in the world? We need step back and realize that life is short and it's time to take a stand and follow our heart. So call the person you love and tell them you love them. Post that video on YouTube that you've been scared to post. Fill out the application to a job that is a hundred miles away because you are too afraid to leave your hometown. Life is short. Start living. Follow your heart.

Love

It was the eyes, the eyes that made it visible to see that what we once had was no longer there. It was the lips, that after one kiss, made it hard to hate the taste. And the words you told me shot through me like an arrow to the heart. It was my heart that let me know that I wasn’t in love with who you were but more of the thought of you. We make it a point in life to fall in love. What hurts the most, though, is when the person you love doesn’t love you back. How do you cope with the feeling of being unloved by the person you love? There isn’t a definite answer to that question. You see, falling in love is a scary thing, having feelings for someone is a scary thing. We all assume we have to settle for something that is easy and within our reach because we are so terrified to fight for what we want. What is life without love? When you love someone you tend to be so blind and hardly ever step back to take in your feelings or even figure out what the other person is feeling. See, what I have learned, is you have to fight for what/who you love. You can’t sit around and wait for love to happen because you are going to get hurt in the end. Do not be scared of love. Although it is terrifying it is also a beautiful and precious part of life.
