Words of wisdom...
You'll learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down, probably will. You'll have your heart broken and you'll break others hearts. You'll blame a new love for things an old love did. You'll fight with your best friends you'll cry because time is flying by and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely and love like you've never been hurt because every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back.
There comes a time when you must stand alone. You must feel confident enough within yourself to follow your own dreams. You must be willing to make sacrifices. You must be capable of changing and rearranging your priorities so that your final goal can be achieved. Sometimes, familiarity and comfort need to be challenged.
There are times when you must take a few extra chances and create your own realities. Be strong enough to at least try to make your life better. Be confident enough that you won't settle for a compromise just to get by. Appreciate yourself by allowing yourself the opportunities to grow, develop, and find your true sense of purpose in this life. Don't stand in someone else's shadow when it's your sunlight that should lead the way.
But most of all just never be afraid to be yourself, the people who matter the most in your life will always love and accept you for exactly who you are. Dance hard, party hard and enjoy life, but always include the ones that bring a smile to your face.
Jess...clearly my perfect love match!
