Dear Reader,

I guess this has been on my mind a lot this week... This time of life is sooo... interesting. Change is a constant companion. And the bad guys (and girls) are not so easily identified. In fact, most appear to be your friends. This time period of being in college is a great trial run for the real world. Bad situations and mean people will always be in your life in one form or another... but if there is one thing that I've learned it is to not give the best parts of yourself away and dwell on bitterness. Being affected and playing the victim will never hurt them or make your life better. It will only ruin YOU. People will act how they want to, hurt who they want to, and from my experience.... appear innocent in many other people's eyes. However, there are always people who love you, a God that knows who you are, and you're special in your own way. Don't let these things ruin you. Too many amazing things are ahead and waiting to happen. Just love. And never ever forget who you are & your potential. Sooo i guess this has been on my mind a lot this week.
