You cannot prevent the birds of sadness from pooping on your head, but you can prevent them from building a nest in your hair.
-Chinese Proverb-
A good friend of mine told me yesterday that she had been thinking about my life and my situation. Then she said, "You are so lucky-You have it all figured out. You have it all."
Does it really seem that way to you?

When I stop to think about my life right now, I really have been given more than I deserve. So why am I having such a hard time? Someone downstairs is jealous of me, and doesn't want me to take hold of the opportunities that are before me. He wants me to fail, he wants me to pass up experiences and instead, sulk in my misery. These past fews days he has won. BIG TIME. But never again. Like that quote up there says, I can't prevent the bad days that will come, but I don't HAVE to sulk in them. I HAVE to move forward. I HAVE to keep going. And I HAVE to be happy. I can't live the next 2 years like this.
Take a deep breath. It's game time.
"If you screw this up, I'm going to kill you." -my roommate Kelly.
Thanks Kel, I really needed that. It's my life. I need to start enjoying the things I have been given, which I never thought would be a problem, but lately it's been easier said than done.
"Is this the best I can be?
Is this the best I can give?"
Definitely not.

I like that proverb! haha!
Roomates...the BEST part of college! oh man, I love that you guys take turns cooking (we did too) it just feel like home right!?
also, I STILL to this day make dishes that my roomates made/taught me. They will be with you forever, and you'll think of them as you serve that meal to your future kiddos..no kidding.
Yay Whitney! I'm glad you feel this way and I hope you can keep it up because you really are so fortunate. And I definitely know that satan is working on you SO hard because he's afraid of the greatness that you WILL do. Love you
