Quotes To Live By

Happy Thursday everyone!  Linking up with Sierra for Girl Chat!  This month's theme is "quotes to live by" so here are just a few that I love!

I actually love the entire "Wear Sunscreen" & have since I first heard it at like 13.

The Time Is Now

Her Mind Wanders

It's Time To Go

Be Inspired...Or Don't...

I actually found this on my daily scanning of Buzzfeed on Thursday but I had already posted that day (& I really can't stand double posting...I don't mind when others do but for some reason I hate doing it myself.  Anyway...) & I figured I'd be busy with my favorite ginger today so here you go...

15 Moments Of Inspiration For When You Hate Your Life

The Here & Now

Mr. Fireman & I had a talk Sunday night, & last night, which have led me to the new way I want to approach my life that I can hopefully stick to. (type A personality up in here...planner is my middle name).  

I need to stop worrying so much about making the same mistakes I've made in the past.  I need to stop worrying that I may or may not get hurt the same way I've been hurt in the past.  I need to stop worrying about where my life may or may not go.  I need to stop trying to plan my future now.  

I need to enjoy this time with my friends, both those that live here & those that are coming 1000s of miles to see me.  I need to enjoy my time in Houston.  I need to enjoy the time I do get to see Mr. Fireman.  

Maybe I'll get a new job offer & maybe I won't.  Maybe we'll work out & maybe we won't.  Maybe I'll stay in Houston & maybe I won't.  I have no real control nor no real answers to any of those questions at this moment in time.  I'm going to live for today & today only.  In less than 4 months I'll be leaving Houston to go back to MN for a month & who knows what will happen after that.  I've decided not to care.

(Because YOLO drives me nuts...)

Happily Ever After

You Make The Choice

I have been reading the Divergent series by Veronica Roth (if you're into the whole Hunger Games series I suggest you read this series too...it's not as good but still good) & I got almost to the end (154 pages remaining) when I read something in there that made me stop.  I promise it's not really a spoiler if you haven't read them & intend to...it's just something that made me stop, think, & almost cry right in the middle of a classroom.

"I used to think that wen people fell in love, they just landed where they landed, and they had no choice in the matter afterward.  And maybe that's true of beginnings, but it's not true of this, now.  I fell in love with him.  But I don't just stay with him by default as if there's no one else available to me.  I stay with him because I choose to, every day that I wake up, every day we fight or lie to each other or disappoint each other.  I choose him over and over again, and he chooses me."

Come Alive

 



It's So Amazing

 

...This pretty much sums up how I currently feel about the Fireman & I promise to tell y'all about him in good time. 1.5 more weeks until I get to see him again!

"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain."
