don't ever lose yourself to someone, don't ever try to be someone else, because truly and honestly at the end if that person didn't like you for you, he wasn't worth it. when you look at yourself and you see the way your life has played out don't get mad or frustrated because your life has been chosen by you, by the choices that you have made, when things around you are going wrong, when things that you can't control happen, and you feel like you can't breathe because the world is suffocating you, know that he is always there. know that in the midst of all the pain and confusion he has the answers, and that his purpose always prevails! at night when i pray that the lord may change things, he reminds me that i have the choice to do so and if i haven't it's because i have chosen it so. i am the person i inevitably wanted to be. each and every scar, each wound that has made me fragile defines me.
