What I Wore: Friday 2/28/14








Sweater: Garage, Skirt: Forever 21, Shoes: Charlotte Russe

Today’s officially the first day of my spring break and I am so happy and relieved to have a week off to relax and spend time with my family at home. I have no major set plans and I am happy that way. With no stress, I am going to let each day happen as it may and accept it for what it will be. With my family and close friends and the feeling of happiness I get when I am home, I know this break will be nothing short of wonderful.

This week I thought a lot about mistakes. I had been thinking a lot about how certain things could have worked out differently if I had made different choices or done things another way. We may love the wrong person, cry about the wrong things, stress about insignificant things, and believe we make the wrong choices sometimes. One thing is for sure: mistakes help us find the things and the people that are right for us.

We all must realize this: You are not your mistakes. You are not your struggles. Though every person has their fair share of both, these things do not define you. We are all here now and have the ability to shape our day and our future. Choose, instead, to reflect on the lessons you have learned from these so called “mistakes” and realize that every single thing that has ever happened in your entire life has served to prepare you for both a glorious moment and for a lifetime that is yet to come. 

Here's to learning lessons- not "making mistakes"
