Because I Said So.

Over the past couple of years, I have learned some valuable truths. One of these lessons brought me to one word.

Choice.

This is what it all truly boils down to.
We are all given the chance to make any choice we will.
We can choose to forgive, choose to be afraid, choose to win, or choose to lose, choose to love,choose to hate, choose to heal, choose to stay broken, choose to fear life, or choose to LIVE IT...
The key is forever in our hands. All we have to do is decide upon which door to open, turn that key, and take the fruits of our choice.
I have made many choices in my life. Some good...some not. Sometimes, I was a consequence of another persons choice

Now, I Choose.
Now, I Decide.

And even though the lesson was not always easy, I wouldn't trade this knowledge for ANYTHING.

Eyes take in the future.
Discard the broken past.
And a life that’s worth living.
Can never wait too fast.

Quite possibly, you know me.
Or maybe never will…
Nevertheless, I can tell you
Just how quickly love can heal.

I’ve lived in diamond houses.
I’ve walked on broken glass.
I’ve driven straight into the unknown.
And lived to tell about the crash.

These lives are never perfect.
So take what good you can.
Snap photographs of rainbows
And take children by the hand.

We are all in this together.
We are all in this alone.
And what truly matters in the end
Is where we find our home.
