. . . & all it's beauty

I am infatuated with Eat Pray Love.

It may not relate to others as it has to me.

So the things that i have been going through may seem small and meager

and not of great worth to those on the outside,

but if you could only catch a small glimpse of how much growth and beauty

and love and peace and trial and challenge and thunderstorms

have passed through me in just a small moment of my life. .. .

you'd be infatuated too.

The thing about eat pray love is that i related so much to it when i first started to read.

There comes a point where you have to accept that things aren't right

they weren't working

and i couldn't accept them for a long time.

but reading eat pray love helped me to see that i h

ave to find my love

i have to find my strength.

i turn 21 on tuesday

and the storms of trials that have raged through me

have tested and strengthened and roared past me

and i am still standing,

and have needed every minute of it.

i am refined.

wherever you go, no matter what you do,

you have to accept things as they are

and learn from things

and change yourself, to ever be happy.
