I have always been a different kind of girl. I think differently, feel differently about things, and act differently than most people. And I'm okay with that. I love how my heart is able to speak through my mouth and impact people for the better. I love how when something is going on that is inappropriate or something I don't believe in seeing or doing, I have the character and the confidence to exclude myself. I don't have to force a smile or fake a good time, while I swallow hard to choke down my conscience. I try my best to express how I feel to people even when there doesn't seem to be the right words. And I stumble through, walking away with my foot in my mouth, and replay it over in my head again and again. But it doesn't scare me. I fight for what's right, always...not just when it's beneficial for my well being. In fact fighting for what is right in this world often means putting your self interest out there for ridicule. But I don't care. So I'm different...weird....a "freak".
And in life some people will say that when you know who you are and you fight for what you beleive in, that you're a bitch. Even if they know deep down in their hearts how you really are; and maybe they actually admire you for that, maybe they are even jelous about it. But sometimes they will choke down their conscience and and close their ears to the words their hearts are speaking to them, and they will utter the most despicable synonym they can find for the word strong.
I say so be it. Because you have to be true to your heart. And you don't have to apologize for who you are. And if you stick it out long enough, you will find that not everyone in life is like that...and you will form amazing relationships and friendships that last a lifetime.
Love,
Forever and Always,

True Love
With Valentine's Day approaching I have been thinking about love.
It is well known that there are no single two people in the world that are exactly the same. But love has a way of bringing together people that are meant to be together in life.
Many people wonder what do I do if I meet someone that I love but yet we have different views about many things. This happens alot because as much as we try to force ourselves not to believe that opposites attract, they do. The important things is what you must agree on for any relationship to work. Like religious beliefs, how to handle money, these sorts of things.
Heres the part that I always find amazing when I hear people tell their love stories about their lives. Often times, if it's a true love, all the other things fall in to place. People are worried about this or that detail, but when it's true love, each person sacrifices something and they inevitably find a way to make it work.
I am a Christian, and it never ceases to amaze me how the ultimate love sacrifice was made so that we can live eternally. That Jesus Christ died on a cross so that we may have eternal life, and there was nothing that we had to sacrifice or do for him. He did it out of true love for every person that walks the face of this earth, without a second thought.
That was the ultimate act of true love.
John 13:34-35 "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another."
