Sometimes, you just need to have a fun night like this :)
I always try to live by this philosophy as much as possible! Take those chances, you won’t regret it!!
“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they’re right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”
-Marilyn Monroe
Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about mistakes. We always blame ourselves for mistakes we’ve made and their sometimes drastic results. But, the way I see it, everything happens for a reason- even our mistakes.
“Maybe mistakes are what make our fate… without them what would shape our lives? Maybe if we had never veered off course we wouldn’t fall in love, have babies, or be who we are. After all, things change, so do cities, people come into your life and they go. But it’s comforting to know that the ones you love are always in your heart… and if you’re very lucky, a plane ride away.”
—Carrie Bradshaw - HBO’s Sex and the City
Sometimes the hardest thing to do is remember that there are still things to look forward to in life. Everyday I try to make a quick list of something beautiful I saw during the day or something to be grateful for.
“But one day I’l have to explain about my nightmares. Why they came. Why they won’t ever really go away. I’ll tell them how I survive it. I’ll tell them that on bad mornings, it feels impossible to take pleasure in anything because I’m afraid it could be taken away. That’s when I make a list in my head of every act of goodness I’ve seen someone do. It’s like a game. Repetitive. Even a little tedious after more than twenty years.
But there are much worse games to play.”
-Epilogue to Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins
