Patience

I don't know how to put these words together, exactly. I'm trying to stay strong for you, you know. I don't want you to know that I cry. I only want you to know me as the girl who laughs and the girl who can make others laugh. I want you to know me at the girl who can help people. Not the girl who doesn't even know what's wrong with herself. I want you to see me as the girl who always smiles that smile. Not the girl who's insecure about her personality. I don't ever want to mess up around you, 'cause maybe then, you'll think I'm stupid. I mean, I know no one's perfect and I'm not trying to get that way, I just don't want you to see me as anything other.

Sometimes, I just takes patience for everything to happen. You don't get respect in just one day, you can't fall in love with someone you just met and you won't be able to forgive yourself in a second. I've learned that helping people is good, but helping someone too much won't let them grow. You grow by making mistakes, getting hurt, and learning from your regrets. Thoughts are there to help guide you to your decisions. It's you that has to take that first step into the pathway of happiness. It's your doing that makes you who you are. Don't assume; get your facts straight. That, is what messes a lot of people up. There's always the true story and reasoning behind everything. We are all different, but have one thing in common, we all want happiness. It's like we're all trying to fight for it, trying to get what we want and it makes us forget the whole reason we wanted it in the first place. No body said life is going to be easy; life is what you make of it. Change for the better.; don't change for someone else, change for yourself. Don't be selfish. Don't limit yourself from don't things just because you don't think you can make it through. Remember, time isn't going to wait for you, so make the best of it.
