Eleanor Roosevelt

"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams" - Eleanor Roosevelt

           This quote is one of my favorites, I've got at least two frames with this quote hanging in my apartment.. and I think it's a quote more people should look at it and really think about the words.  So many people think they know best for others, they think just because they are older, or have been through the same experience before they know whats best for you!  But at times, I think we need to think about our own dreams, follow our own hearts, sure we need to listen to others who have experienced the same things, because we dont want to make the same mistakes as them.  BUT if we follow the idea that we shouldnt do something just because someone else did that and it was the "worst mistake of their lives" why would anyone get married.. i mean people have been divorced in the past so why should we take a chance and see if its either the greatest thing ever or the worst... why would anyone have children I mean people have had miscarriages, people have had unhealthy children who dont live to see their teens... why does anyone go driving, their are many car accidents dailying in which people are killed....

       But we all need to make our own mistakes, we need to follow our OWN dreams and just hope and pray everything works the way we planned...im not saying lets go get high just to see if its a good experience for us, but im saying we need to be more in tune with our own plans, dreams, and hopes, we need to take other views and opinions into consideration but ultimetly its our own lives and we need to live it to the fullest!:)

    So in lieu of this quote, my biggest dream my entire life was to find my "prince charming" my "other half", I wanted to find a guy that loved me for me, that treated me like I deserve to be treated, one that was man enough to treat me right no matter who is around, one that would stand up for me, but who was still compasionate and caring... and I truely have been lucky enough to find that man in Brandon! We argue sure what couple hasnt had an argument from time to time, but we really have a wonderful relationship otherwise!!! We understand each other, we are there for each other, we know each others flaws and are still so in love!! but ... another very big dream of both of ours is to start a family...and I know that eventually we will start our family, but I am just so anxious about it, I want to be pregnant now, I want to start our family... i know i need to be patient, but its so hard to be...its so hard to see other girls who are getting pregnant and then are upset... im not talking about girls who are "complaining" about their symptoms .. i get it pregnancy is ruff and it takes alot out of you .. what I'm talking about is the few girls I know who recently have gotten pregnant who DONT WANT their baby, they are considering abortion, or aren't taking their pregnancy seriously and are smoking and doing drugs to try to loose the baby... I dont understand how those types of girls can get pregnant and other girls who actually want to cant.  (Brandon and I have only been trying for a couple months so im not bitching that im not pregnant I know some woman go years trying with no success) but I just dont get how people who want kids have to work their asses off to try to get pregnant or adopt or whatever, but then there are soo many woman out there who never want children and get pregnant off of a one night stand...I guess this is kinda off of my original post topic but just something that is on my mind lately..
