"For You"
"Self-love is not selfish; you cannot truly love another until you know how to love yourself." —Unknown Growing up in such a strict family who forbid me to talk to boys made me only want to talk to them even more. My dad always told me not to even breathe in the same air as them. As I grew older, I completely disobeyed him. Throughout high school I was always focused on cute guys and what they thought of me. I would text them day and night, and that was the only thing I ever worried about. Schoolwork never crossed my mind. I was always so caught up in my own fantasy that I never knew my surroundings and where I'd end up. It all started when I was head over heels for this guy who was a bit younger than I was. I didn't care about his age, all I cared about was having someone who could keep me going. The one thing I also didn't notice is that I was fangirl-ing over a guy who knew nothing of my existence. I knew I had to do everything in my way to see him and I didn't feel guilty for it at all. I moved schools and made sure I had the opportunity to at least see him once a day. Finally, school started and I couldn't wait to see him. I found out that we were in the same class and I knew God was bringing me closer to him for a reason.

Listening vs. Expressing Ourselves
Listening... Expressing yourself... Do they contradict each other? Or do they actually require each other? The purest conversation is equal input/equal output: listening and letting whatever comes at you or into you flow right back out of you.
