Romeo, save me...

Romeo, save me. They're trying to tell me how to feel. This love is difficult, but it's real.
What you feel is something only you know. Those feelings may be expressed physically or verbally, but until you express them, no one knows what you truly feel.  No one can tell you how to feel, either.  Your life is yours alone and it was given to you for a specific reason, so make your own decisions.  If someone decides to hate you because of your decision, you know they were not your true friend to begin with.
Sometimes people will tell you, "You're too young. You haven't known each other long enough yet." But how can I deny what I feel inside my heart? How can I refuse to say what comes so naturally to me? How can I bury my feelings? The truth is I can't. Other people might have an emotionless front, but not me.  I feel with every iota inside of me. Truthfully, I can't hold anything back. If I'm going to feel something, I might as well let my emotions run amok.  When I love, I love with my entire heart and not one particle less. I cannot, no I will not, deny or hide what I feel

what's meant to be...

I saw a quote the other day "What's meant to be will always find its way." I believe this quote is so true. Things happen for a reason, whether they're good or bad. If something is meant to be, then it will be. If it's not then it's just going to fade away. Never be afraid to take chances. Even if everyone you know is against something, you should listen to your heart. Only you can tell yourself what to do and no one can live your life for you.  At the end of this life, you are the one who is going to be held accountable for everything you have done, so you should at least make the decisions your own.  If you're afraid to do something and keep waiting and waiting, then that "golden opportunity" may just pass you by. But, as I've learned recently, it can come again. Maybe there's something to be said for having to wait for it to come back around. Maybe it will be all the more sweeter for the time you had to wait. Maybe, just maybe....
