I BELIEVE...

I believe...that one day I will say that it will be okay and believe it. I will know why the things of the past happened the way that they did and trust that the future explanations are coming.

I believe...that its okay to want to mingle with the rich and famous and be them one day even though deep down you know, you probably would never fit in there anyway.

I believe...that in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, its okay to make mistakes, to learn the consequences of your mistakes a little too late and to still have a chance to fix them.

I believe...its okay to give people a second chance and wait to be surprised.

I believe...that its okay to not know every SINGLE measly detail about the elections and still be proud to be American.

I believe...that its been one hell of a year and theres more to come but surviving this will make everything else to come that much easier.


I believe...that something that doesn't kill us, does make us stronger...but we sacrifice a part of us to learn that lesson.

I believe...that watching full house over brunch on a Saturday morning can be considered a guilty pleasure and a chance to relive middle school life.

I believe...that its okay to name drop in desperate situations.

I believe...that its okay to not want to say hello to everyone you run into on some days and reserve the happy greetings for someone that truly makes you happy.

I believe...sitting outside and enjoying a beautiful day or a sunset enriches your soul and reminds you that theres something more.

I believe...that being able to down 5 shots of tequila without getting sick is worth talking about.

I believe...that some days, its okay to desperately wish for a Hollywood ending and hope that someone hears.

I believe...that its okay to want to stay home alone on a Friday night and do nothing...even though college is apparently a time of drinking, mingling, socializing and dancing.

I believe...that its okay to secretly hope that a miracle that will blow your mind will happen.

I believe...its okay to want something so bad it hurts.

I believe...that one day, my story will tie up into a neat bow and the answers will come tumbling down to me.

I believe that I will survive...flourish and thrive.

I believe that its important to live in belief , to give believing a chance, to give faith a chance, to give hope, goodness and miracles a chance.

Above all, I believe that believing in belief, believing in faith, believing that we will survive helps us to survive, to flourish, to thrive.

"I believe...that something that doesn't kill us, does make us stronger...but we sacrifice a part of us to learn that lesson."

I couldn't agree more.

I love this. I especially enjoyed the one about believing in second chances. I feel that so often we all think if we give someone a second chance it means we are naive, or that we didn't learn from the first time around. Which seems silly. Who gets everything right always on the first try?
