Let me make my own decisions....please

Okay so the title kind of says it all. Recently a lot of people have been coming to me all worried about me and the choices I have made. I know the risks and I know the chances I am taking. I have thought about these choices for a while and my heart tells me I am making the right ones. I am listening to my heart fully for probably the first time ever and it is such a wonderful feeling.  I will be okay guys, I promise. I can't be afraid anymore, and I can't just stand by and think of possibilities, the what if and could haves. I might get burned, but it is better to be burned then to never feel at all or risk anything at all. I know it cause these people care about me and want what they think is best for me. It's okay guys I am a growing women and have to do things on my own. I have risk something to get something worth while, and if you don't agree with my risks I am sorry, but you're not me.  I have to stand by my beliefs, and goals, so if you don't agree with them I am sorry they aren't changing. I am who I am take me or leave me. I  love my friends I know they are doing this cause they care and that means a lot to me, so please don't take this as me saying shut up, but I am just defending my choices and standing strong by them. 

In other news I went to court today and was rescheduled for March 23...great. I have to wait to get this simple accident resolved, ugh what a pain. The only good thing was I got to see my dad and we had breakfast together today which was very nice to just sit and relax together. I also showed him so of the PAB and introduced him to some of my other friends at school while saying hi to others he already knew. He will be graduating for ODU this December with his Bachelors in Business/Management and I couldn't be more proud of him. He started going back to school when I was in 5th grade and he got his Associates when I was in 8th grade, so now as I am beginning college he is finishing. It has been a long broken road for him, but he did it. At 50 he will have a college degree and the ability to achieve more of his goals and dreams. He just never quite and never gave up, even with all the obstacles in the way. I can't wait to see him diploma. He and my mom both graduates in the same year, both with their own college diplomas. It just proves it doesn't matter how old you are if you want that education you can get. You just have be willing to work for it, and really earn it.

Ahh well I have gone off on another tangent accidentally, but hey it happens. I can't wait til I go home again, because I will get to see my sister Brandy and that will be the last time I see her probably until she gives birth to my nephew. Also I plan to visit my high school and say hello to some missed teachers and friends. I love that place, and I always will :). I have to get through finals first so off I go to study!
