All It Takes Is One Person To Change Your Life

I believe that all it takes is one person to change your life. Sometimes you get lucky and meet that person and sometimes you don't. For me, the difference between meeting mine and not meeting mine was that I don't think i'd have found my calling in life if i never would have had the great honor of meeting this person. If it wasn't for her I wouldn't be where I am today or be as strong as I am. I truly believe this person is the reason for where I am and how far I've come. She is...my psychologist. 

 I first met Monica a few months before i turned 13. She was my moms counselor and my dads. The counselor I had been seeing moved to Texas and the idea of having to tell my whole life story to someone new, again, seemed so frustrating. Lucky for me, Monica knew all my past and problems (for the most part) because she had counseled both my parents. So she took me in (as a patient) and since that day, I knew (in the back of my mind) she was about to change my life. 

After about a year I had a calling and I decided I wanted to be Monica. I wanted to change lives the way she was changing mine. One thing I loved about her was how she was so kind but also she had this stern motherly side about her. For example one day, me and my mom were trying to talk about how we were and I closed up, I didnt want to talk. After a few minutes in silence Monica said, "You need to talk to me young lady." She said it in way that snapped me back into the moment and I talked. She's shown me what it means to care about people and show them. Even when tough love is needed. She's got me through my worst years and continues to show me I can survive the hardest and longest days. She's never short on compliments, she showed me how it's good to be open about feelings and how to talk. She makes me want to open up and I hope someday I will be just as good of a psychologist as she's been to me. And I hope everyone else is lucky and blessed to meet that ONE person that changes your life.

Love Is Ignorant

I've had a few relationships, a few where I thought I was in love and I was happy and care free. Then the day came when I truly did fall in love. In that moment I realized all the other times I thought I had been in love wasn't really love. If that makes sense.. Anyways, so then when it finally hit me that THIS is what being in love felt like, I was excited. I was excited to share love and feel love even stronger than what I had ever thought was possible. One thing I never expected was to wake up 2 years later and realize that love was ignorant. I dated this girl who I thought was perfect, I did everything to make her happy, yes we fought and we got mad but I never gave up, I always tried. I think I knew at a certain point that it wasn't going to end good, but I still wanted to see the best in her. I heard and saw the signs, I knew in my heart she was two faced and all wrong, but when youre in love its hard to believe that bad. In the end all the signs I had seen but chose to ignore were clear. I remember the flowers she got that weren't from me, the dirty messages to someone who wasn't me. I got the flashbacks to how she would be protective over her phone and the way she would get so mad if I even said something against her word (because as you know, liars dont like to be called out). Everything I chose to ignore over her questionable faithfulness came back to me 2 years later when she married and had a baby with the one guy she swore she never liked or loved. And in that moment my heart broke for the first time and my world shattered because everything I believed about love was wrong. In that moment I believed love was ignorant.

"Love Is Stronger Than Death" Response

On thisibelieve.org I read Love Is Stronger Than Death.  I found this lady's essay very inspirational, she took a sad story from her life and gave it a silver lining. She put things in perspective that most just wouldn't think about after losing someone so close to them. I agree with her belief. As long as their is love you can handle anything, death can't tear things apart, it may make you sad or hurt, but it can't break you. Love is the reason people carry on. Love is the reason people wake up and try.
 My favorite line from her essay was, "He will live as long as one of us is alive to remember and to love him." When someone dies it is up to us to carry on that person's memory. So go check out that website if you need inspiration in your life!

Creed; A set of beliefs or aims that guide someone's actions.

Overall looking at creeds, most of them are found or mainly defined using a religious standpoint. The list of religious creeds is long for example: Biblical creeds, Primary creeds, Interdenominational creeds, Creeds of Sects, and so on. These creeds have helped to shape our world by setting guidelines for life and how to treat others and ourselves. Creeds we may not have thought of like the Preamble to the Constitution though have helped us live. They help us to keep religious creeds alive. I also think there are other creeds we didn't realize were creeds. When you create a business you create a mission statement, which is basically the statement for why that business is there and how it well help others and the employees plan to help their customers. So wouldn't that be a creed as well? There are a million possible creeds out there, its up to you to find one that will make you a better person and give your life meaning. 

My Life Philosphy!

"Karma; action, seen as bringing upon oneself inevitable results, good or bad, either in this life or in a reincarnation."

After 18 years, 9 months, and 17 days  I have found this definition true and essential to making decisions in life. I have been put through hell a lot, I have been screwed over a lot, and I have seen other people hurt. Through all of this I have found one thing true, one thing that gives me comfort and understanding, and that is karma. I know in my heart that if someone screws me over or anyone else that person will face their own hell later. I got screwed and hurt and the only thing that helps me to not go out and get revenge is knowing that in the end they will face the same things they have done to me. Karma will either make or break you in this life.
