The Laws Of Attraction.

It’s hard to believe that things happen the way that they should, but ultimately looking back, I can honestly say they always have. I find peace in believing that things always have their path, and that everyone’s path is unique and different. I think back about all the experiences that I have encountered in my 25 years and I know that everything has helped me grow and develop into the person I am today. It’s crazy to think that even the bad things somehow end up teaching us some of life’s most important lessons. I guess the important thing is to continue growing and not to shut down to new or uncertain experiences.

I tend to struggle with the thought of the unknown. What if this, or what if that? There are so many different possibilities and each choice can lead us down a different path. I am always scared of choosing the wrong path, or making the wrong decisions. As I was thinking about this, I thought about the wrong choices I have made in life. Even though they may have been the wrong choices, they brought me to today, and today I am stronger because of the set-backs, and because of the mistakes. I know in my mind that I sure as hell won’t make the same mistakes again.

I think sometimes I need to remind myself that it’s okay. It’s okay not to know, and it’s okay to be unsure about where life will end up. There is beauty in not knowing, and not trying to control everything; because regardless of what we try to control, we cannot control our fate. I like to remind myself often that I am right where I need to be in this moment. There’s no rush to figure everything out, and even the in between time serves its own purpose. Everything leading up to this moment has its own reason, and one day that will all be clear, but for now it doesn't need to be.

  1. First of all, love the dress. I think it is okay to not know the future and I do believe when one door closes another will always open.

  2. I love your dress and I just noticed the streaks in your hair, which I LOVE. So cute. Not knowing what the future holds is pretty much the best thing about life. You just have to believe you're going in the right direction. :)

  4. I totally know what you mean about a fear of the unknown. Sometimes I wish that I could just KNOW what the future held, but then I also love the mystery and surprise of life.

    And everything does always turn out right in the end!

  6. I am absolutely in love with this outfit! That dress is incredible and your hair looks amazing. I keep finding that I need to remind myself that I need to stop rushing to the "next big thing" or to find out where I'll be going and what I'll be doing. You're definitely right about that in between time - I need to work on that.

  10. This is beautifully written. I struggle with the unknown to...and letting go of control. I find that when I do let go of control, the best things always happen.

  12. this. i think about this so often, but it's so hard to realize. i often get stuck in patterns of negative thinking. it's such a relief to remember you're exactly where you need to be. and even if bad things happen, trusting that somehow it's for the best. xx
