One Day at a Time

That's how we have to live.
Life is hard and it's scary.
It scares me looking ahead.
Imagining myself going off into the world on my own.
Being an adult.
Raising a family.
Finding out what I want to do with my life.
It's overwhelming.
But none of that matter right now.
I just need to focus on tomorrow.
One day at a time.

I love the song One Day at A Time by Jeremy Camp
"One day at a time i will walk this road i've traveled so far
One day at a time well i know i will carry on
One day at a time i can see you took my life this far
One day at a time I will take this faith along"

We've all come so far.
Look back on everything you've been through.
You've made it this far, just keep pushing on.

There's a quote I love.
It has so much truth to it.

"Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday."
-John Wayne 

Break Apart Her Heart

An eye-openning song by Good Charlotte
Here a couple of really good lyrics:

"There's something I don't wanna understand
The only way a woman is gonna want a man
The only way you'll ever keep her in your hands
Is breaking apart her heart
Don't tell her she is the reason that you live
Don't give her everything that you got to give
If you want to keep the girl for as long as you live
Just break it apart her heart."

When I first heard this song, I was offended. Set back.
If a guy told me I was the reason he lived, of course I would pick him over some loser who treated me like shit. Wouldn't any sane person?
Actually no. Most people don't. And girls aren't the only offenders of this, though I must say we are much worse.

Think about this. Haven't you ever really cared about someone who just treated you like crap. And it broke you down every day. Yet right by your side was a guy saying "He's not worth. Look at how he treats you. He doesn't deserve your tears. I don't get what he has that I don't. You are the reason I smile." Yet we keep fighting for this other guy. The one that obviously doesn't care, or isn't willing to show it. Either way, why waste our time. It is only going to lead to pain and heart ache. You've all you can, all you should do. If that guy is really "the one", then things will work. He will come around and make it work. I promise you. But we're all afraid to walk away. We don't want to lose them. What really do we have to lose? Nothing. A friend of mine always tells me this. If two people are meant to be, they'll still be meant to be together in a year or whenever. It gives me hope that if I give up on a person and lose them, it was because they weren't meant to be in my life.

So my challenge. Try to let go of the people that only cause pain. The ones that only break hearts. And start cherishing the ones that view you are the most important thing in their life.

That's the way it should be.

We love those that hurt us.
And hurt those that love us.

This disgusts me. I'm consciously making a decision today to change this (:
