The truth is, you simply can’t control other people or external circumstances, but that doesn’t matter, not really.

Never in my life have I had to look in the mirror more and deal with roadblocks and internal struggles in such an intimate way.

Not everything is going to go as planned 100% of the time.

“

You have to let go of the idea that having control of your life equates to happiness, because that isn’t always the case.

I needed to control and plan out every step as well as practice what I’d do or say. I ultimately needed to know for sure what the outcome would be or I’d be too afraid to fully pursue my desires and would instead use my control freakish ways as a mechanism to cover up my true inner emotions.

When you love someone, you don’t question every move they make. You don’t get jealous when they spend time with their friends. You don’t get self-conscious when they have a good time without you.

If God is to blame for the bad stuff, isn’t He also to blame for the good stuff?

In love, we forget that our better halves have minds of their own. We forget that what we want does not always align with what our partners want.
