Sometimes... I just feel like I'm wasting my life. Like someone else would do better with the life I've been given. But the little voice inside of me rises up against the louder one, and convinces me that it's not true. There are some days that go by wasted, but all in all, I cherish my life, and I love like there was no tomorrow...because it's the type of love that Christ has instilled within me. You cannot be a Christian without love. And so what if I don't ever get married, if I don't become rich, if I sometimes fail. If I love, with all of my heart, even the people I do not want to LIKE then I will live a full life according to His will. If I am faithful to my God, there is no way that I will waste the blessing of life. Society sometimes says you have to have ___ and ____ and _____ to be successful. Those blanks usually get filled in with words like "a husband, money, and health".... but society is wrong.
I don't HAVE to have anything other than love.

The greatest thing youll ever know, is just to love and be loved in return.
