Sacrifice.
Sometimes, doing the right thing is the hardest to do. But, in the end, the "right thing" is always worth that sacrifice. Not going to Friendship Games this weekend is something I needed to do for myself. To be a better person, and for once in my life, make the right choices. I keep telling myself that I wanna be more responsible with my life. That I wanna stop hurting those around me. That I wanna know that the people I love the most have faith in me to do good things. Yeah, the sacrifice sucks at the moment. But, somewhere down the road, it's one of those things that I'm gonna look back and say, "I made the right choice."
I feel like a big weight has been lifted off my shoulders, and that the voice in the back of my head, telling me I need to grow up, is finally gone. I have faith that everything is going to be okay. All it takes is one step to start moving forward and on with my life.
