heartbreak
aughhh, my heart sooo breaks for my poor cousin justin. his stupid girlfriend for a year and a half just cheated on him, and it has hit his self-esteem so badly. i told him to call me every time he feels like calling linda and he called me today. i'm glad that he's able to voice out his hurt and is not just keeping all the pain to himself until he blows up. but gosh, my heart just goes out to him!
it makes me feel so badly for all those other times that i've hurt guys in the past. to see what justin is going through makes me wish i were kinder to the ex's. but knowing how i was to them also allows me to give justin some good advice. i don't want him to just be a pathetic fool and keep trying to keep a relationship that isn't there. she obviously doesn't want to be with him, so i don't want him to seem like he's begging her to be with him. she didn't respect him enough to know his worth and she really doesn't deserve to be with such a great guy. i was telling him that he just needs to go and have fun. college is a good time for that after all. and you know what he told me? he said that he had all the opportunities to do so, being in a fraternity and all, but linda (the ex) was enough for him. he didn't need or want anything more. *sigh* how heartbreaking! my mom was even crying as he was telling us the details of the sordid story. goodness!

"To try is to risk failure. But risk must be taken because the
greatest hazard of life is to risk nothing. The person who risks
nothing does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. He may avoid
suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn, feel, change,
grow, live, and love."
~unknown
"It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues."
~ Abraham Lincoln
"live a life that others will remember years from now, NOT because it pointed to you but because of how it pointed to the One who made you."
~ Mark Hart, the Bible Geek
"we grow up learning to become self-reliant, but really we need to be God-reliant"
"we could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors....but they all exist very nicely in the same box"
"never wound hearts that love u, never give them the endless pain, because wounded hearts are like roses that never bloom"
"there comes a time when we have to stop loving someone not because that person has stopped loving us but because we have found out that they'd be happier if we'd let go"
