the only one in charge...

..is yourself. mind over matter.

Watch your thoughts, for they become words.
Watch your words, for they become actions.
Watch your actions, for they become habits.
Watch your habits, for they become character.
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.

It's by choice, not chance to have ended up with everything I have now. I am lucky enough to have people who care about me, love me, help me, provide for me, guide me, teach me, etc. To think there are those who are less fortunate than I, saddens me because there are times when I feel like "my life sucks" when really I should be thankful. I should appreciate how much I am blessed with a lot of things...lately I just seem to overlook all of it.

A few days ago, I visited my friend in the hospital. We have so much history together. Holding a friendship with someone for almost 10 years isn't easy...but with her, it has always been successful. My heart broke seeing her in that state, having to watch her suffer through the pain, I couldn't help but break down into tears. She's such a strong person, I believe she will make it through all this. and yet...I can't help but pray that she'll get better sooner.

ramblings...

_i hate headaches.
_“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen."
