#dontstopbelieving

It's been a little while since I last wrote. But it's been busy. I had my major papers due, and then BAM now it's exam time! It's like one thing after another. Most of the time I love to be busy, I love to always be on the go. But lately I don't really want to be DOING so much, instead I just want to spend all my time being with people. Socializing is kinda my thing.
I have a confession to make, until this past year I had never studied for an exam, EVER! But I started studying for my exams this year simply because all my friends were and I wanted to spend time with my friends so I would just suggest studying together so I could spend time with them, and they could get their studying done. HAHA!

ANYWAYS! I titled this blog entry 'Don't Stop Believing' because lately things haven't really been working out the way I want them to. Desires that I have, dreams that I've had for my life... things just haven't gone the way I wanted them to. It's been an extremely disappointing month. Full of let downs. But this entry isn't to talk about how upset I am. Because I've spent enough time in self pity over this, and I don't need anyone else feeling bad for me. Instead I want this to be encouraging.

Because who in their life hasn't had a let down? Or some disappointing moment in their life? Reality is, we don't always get what we want. (Which might be the hardest thing for me right now, I'm used to getting what I want, one way or another) So when those moments of disappoint come, you're faced with a choice. Are you going to allow these things to stop you from chasing after your dream? OR are you going to allow them to push you harder? These let downs can make you work harder to get your dream. It can fuel the passion and desire in your heart. But you need to make that choice. I needed to make that choice. Am I going to allow myself to be held back? No! I can't! My dreams are bigger than this! And I'm not going to let something that happened for a small season of my life, stop me from living the rest of my life! And I hope you guys will make the same decision.

Some of my plans for this next year aren't going to be working out... BUT that just means I have time for something new. Something that I am not expecting. And hopefully that something is amazing. (Because I could really use some happy news in my life right now) But even if its not amazing, I am going to live my life to the absolute fullest.

Don't stop dreaming, and DO NOT stop believing in those dreams!
infinite x's and o's
