A Season, Reason, or A Lifetime
When someone is in your life for a REASON. . . It is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend, and they are! They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part, or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.
Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.
What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered. And now it is time to move on.
Then people come into your life for a SEASON. Because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn. They bring you an experience of peace, or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season.
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons: things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person, and put what you have learned to use in all othe r relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant. ....;)

being twenty something....my fav
They call it the "Quarter-life Crisis." It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing that there are a lot of things about yourself that you didn't know and may not like. You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now.
You start realizing that people are selfish and that, maybe, those friends that you thought you were so close to aren't exactly the greatest people you have ever met and the people you have lost touch with are some of the most important ones. What you do not realize is that they are realizing that too and are not really cold or catty or mean or insincere, but that they are as confused as you.
You look at your job. It is not even close to what you thought you would be doing or maybe you are looking for one and realizing that you are going to have to start at the bottom and are scared. You miss the comforts of college, of groups, of socializing with the same people on a constant basis. But then you realize that maybe they weren't so great after all.
You are beginning to understand yourself and whatyou want and do not want. Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and findyourself judging a bit more than usual becausesuddenly you realize that you have certain boundaries in your life and add things to your list of what is acceptable and what is not.
You are insecure and then secure. You laugh andcry with the greatest force of your life. You feel alone and scared and confused. Suddenly change is the enemy and you try and cling on to the past with dear life but soon realize that the past is drifting further and further away and there is nothing to do but stay where you are or move forward.
You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved could do such damage to you or you lie in bed and wonder why you can't meet anyone decentenough to get to know better(A: touchi...). You lovesomeone but maybe love someone else too and cannot figure out why you are doing this because you are not a bad person.
One night stands and random hook ups start tolook cheap and getting wasted and acting like an idiot starts to look pathetic.(A:ain't thatright???) You go through the same emotions andquestions over and over and talk with your friends about the same topics because you cannot seem to make a decision.
You worry about loans and money and the futureand making a life for yourself and while winning the race would be great, right now you'd just like to be a contender! What you may not realize is that everyone reading this relates to it. We are in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard as we can tofigure this whole thing out.
Life is so confusing! if you're confused - you're not alone!
Isnt this really true.....feel like m followng d bandwgon.....yupp 20 smething....with my 25 approching this jan...all this sounds just d been there done that kindz...

"Life is largely a matter of expectation,

We usually say such quotes look good onli in books...but this isn't true always ;)...

"Life is largely a matter of expectation,
If u want to succeed, you must expect to succeed.
So,set your goals high.
If you begin with some wild expectations you'll succeed
beyond your wildest expectations...
When you expect things to happen,strangely enough,
they do happen.
Expectations energizes your goals and gives them momentum.
When you believe something good can happen,it will happen...
The dreams you believe in come to be.
Your life responds to your outlook."
Trust me,i've experienced this happen;) n hence have started strongly believeing in it...
