This Spring Break has been quite the rollercoaster... and everyone knows I hate rollercoasters haha.
The thing that I’ve realized (as silly as it sounds) is that if I want to have certain qualities or believe in certain things I really need to stick to them from the start and tough out the difficult parts. Being diligent requires being consistent through and through - working hard on one assignment doesn’t count. Being hard-working means putting in the effort consistently from beginning to end. Being dependable means being there for others consistently, not just for one or two big things. If I think it is worth taking risks with my heart I need to accept the hurt as part of it. If I want to be self-sacrificing kind of person for my friends, I need to be willing to give when it’s terribly inconvenient or it hurts. I need to be willing to get stranded on Bourbon Street for drunken friends all over again.
It's scary and it hurts like hell right now, but It’s time to try harder. Challenge accepted.
