Life Left To Go

I started this blog the Wednesday just before Thanksgiving break. I just finished it. Sorry it took so long to post!

I recently was introduced to this band called Safetysuit, and I'm in love with their stuff! The title of my blog is one of their songs, and I feel it's somewhat suiting for my blog content. Youtube it. It's amazing.

We finished the "Tuesdays With Morrie" movie in my marriage class yesterday. I cried. Fact. It really put things into perspective for me...what is important to me? who is important me? am I afraid to love and get close to people? am I running from something? am I living the life I want to lead?...There has been a lot of self-reflecting for sure after these past two classes. Of course, I always am doing that after I get out of that class. Which is a good thing. My marriage class is seriously a huge break from all my other classes. I look forward to going and I've only missed once (for chemistry). Since I shared my notes from the first half, I guess I should share the rest of them. Ha.

Don't be afraid to be loved because you're afraid to give yourself to someone.
Am I leading the life I want to lead?
Is this the person I want to be?
If you accept death, you'll live your life differently.
Work, money, ambition--we bury ourselves in this but do we step back and ask ourselves, is this what we really want?
Never do work that uses people or degrades and hurts.
Love always wins.
We think we don't deserve love, if we let it in, we become soft; love is the only rational act--let it come in.
There is nothing innately shameful about being dependent.
We we're infants we need people; when we're dying we need people--here's the secret--we need people all along the way, too.
We must love one another, or die.
The only regrets we should have are pride, vanity, and hardness of heart.
Understand and forgive yourself. Forgive everybody everything. NOW. Don't wait.
We learn from what hurts us as much as what loves us.
What are the poisons in life that you need knocked loose?
Sometimes the simplest things in life are the most perfect.
Death ends a life, not a relationship.

Who's the Morrie in your life?

Again. If you haven't read "Tuesdays With Morrie", I STRONGLY encourage you to read it. It's life-changing.
