My Outlook

"IF YOU WANT TO LIVE A HAPPY LIFE, TIE IT TO A GOAL, NOT TO PEOPLE OR THINGS."- Albert Einstein

That quote basically sums up how I've been feeling about life lately. In the past it's always seemed like I've based some of my decisions on what other people around me were doing. Like, my summer plans or possible graduation date, or even how many jobs I worked over the summer for instance. I have finally decided that I need to stop trying to rely on other people because honestly, the only person you can look out for and rely on is yourself. I don't care if you've got great friends or a great boyfriend, you can only rely on yourself to get what you want accomplished. This may sound selfish to some people, but it's the truth. And it's how I'm going to go about my life from now on. I'm an independent woman and that's how I'm going to come across from now on. I am going to graduate either next May or August, and move where I want regardless of any boyfriend at the time. I'm going to be looking out for number 1 from now on.

it's not that anything really "happened" i just don't want to be in situations where i have to rely on people or make decisions based on what others are doing. not that i really did that too much before, but i just want to make sure I stay on track of my life.
