1. you can't change people. you either accept them - and all their faults - or you don't. but if you choose not to, you give up the potential to have beautiful, meaningful and very real relationships.
2. life is not a competition. it's not about who's skinnier, prettier, makes more money, or has a boyfriend. it's not about one-upping other people. it's not about who you know. my life is my journey.
3. the truth is, very few people actually care about the things you care about as much as you do (or at all). most people are quick to dismiss what you're going through to talk about things they are going through. how unfortunate.
4. i don't have to be perfect. i don't have to eat right all the time. i don't have to work out everyday. i don't have to look immaculate at all times. my body does not have to look like heidi klum's.
5. sometimes not telling anybody a secret you know if fun.
6. standing up for yourself is liberating. really.
7. brothers and sisters in christ who have become close friends are a tremendous blessing. they make life sweet.
8. if jesus isn't the heartbeat of your life, your life is meaningless.
9. kanye west is, in fact, a jack-you-know-what. this is the only time i have ever (and ever will)agreed with obama.
10. you really can tell god anything.
in other news: i bought a house! i am so blessed and excited to be able to do this at 23 years old! it's a big decision, but i feel so good about it, and i can't wait to see what the lord has in store for this next chapter of my life. i never thought i'd own a home alone - like without a husband - but there's no sense in sitting around waiting for life to begin when i'm married. who knows what jesus has in mind for me. this is my life, and i'm going to celebrate every moment of it.
