longing for the 'better tomorrow'

As I'm sitting here on this beautiful Sunday night, I'm reminded of the places God takes you in life. The people He takes out & the people He puts in.

I was just looking at a book {journal} that I made a couple months back & I'm reminded of just how much has changed. This journal inspired me tonight. It inspired me to be open to the idea of letting God write this next chapter of my life for me. To not be afraid of letting people in. To not be scared of letting my heart go again. {because if anyone knows me, I have a hard time not forgiving people & truly blocking them out for the rest of time.}

I'm a forgiving person, but if you're wise, you won't take advantage of that. You'll try, you'll give all you have. You'll fight.

Some people have told me I'm wrong on this, but I think that every friendship is worth fighting for. There is something in it, that you have to always give 100%. I'm not talking romantically. I'm talking about someone that when you're with just makes you light up inside. They make you joyful. --not just happy, but Joyful! There is a difference in joy & happiness.

People can come into your life & leave a mark that will forever be there & there are also people that can come in & leave without you even knowing it. I try to be the person that leaves the footprints behind. I try to make a difference & hopefully a good one at that.

I've come to realize that I believe I expect too much out of people. & for that, I've possibly lost some people in my life, but if they realized it, everyone messes up. That doesn't mean you should just give up. No, keep going, keep longing for the 'better tomorrow.' It'll be worth in the end.

Everyone needs compassion. There isn't one person in this whole world that is 'perfect.' We are all fighting our own battles. No matter if it's small or big. We're still fighting something. Every single one of us needs a love that's never failing. Compassion for others & kind words. --I was reading a quote on a website today & it said, "kind words go a long way"

I understand that things don't always stay the same, but that doesn't mean everything needs to fail. I don't believe that's the way God designed things.

My writing 'inspiration' is slowly dying for the night, this means it's time to sign out for the night. At least in this writing!

Goodnight lovelies. You all are the ones that keep me writing on here. Thanks for reading about my life.
