on my mind.

i've heard countless times "the timing's just not right"... honestly. i think this statement is kind of a cop-out. Who is to decide if the timing's right? NOT us. Every person i meet, every situation i am in, i try so hard to be optimistic and let things work out how they should... BUT it's so hard when fear gets in the way. Fear that maybe we're getting to close to someone, too soon after we've already had our hearts broken, fear that maybe we aren't ready to take on a new responsibility, fear of failure. HOWEVER. one thing i've learned is that it is NOT about us. Heavenly Father throws us curve balls time and time again. Probably to help us realize we need to be more grateful for what we have. Too many times, i've let fear get the better of me, and looking back, i have missed out on some very amazing things.

I think people don't every truly live their lives until they stop fearing. Fear gets in the way of all emotions, all truth, and some pretty amazing experiences. I think its important to know that through out life you are going to come across heart break, as hard as it is, it happens..but by fearing to love again you miss out on all amazing experiences that you could have had, and one day those people will regret fearing and not letting people in because they will give up the ones that mean the most to protect their feelings.
