People who are unable to mind their own business are most likely internally miserable. They seek to find faults within others just to make themselves feel better. Offering insight to a friend whose present situation seems distressed can be helpful at times but there is only so much advice you can give without pushing the limits. Even if you don’t agree with what someone else is doing sometimes, you need to take a backseat and let them make their own mistakes.!
“People don’t make you happy, your thoughts do. People don’t make you sad, your emotions do. Age doesn’t make you mature, experiences do.”

Yesterday I went to one of my best friend’s house and we spent a lot of time updating ourselves since Savannah lives in Milan and we get to see each other every 6 months. She mentioned a guy who’s trying to have a relationship with her. She explained to me how he’s the sweetest guy she’s ever met and how she really wants him as her boyfriend, but also how she has a great fear of being hurt by him. She’s been hurt before so no wonder why she has that fear. Also she mentioned how independent she is and didn’t want to depend emotionally on him. With all that said, I went home reviewing that information and two words were drifting constantly on my mind: “take risks”.
Love is all about taking risks.
There are many opinions whether taking risks for love is a good or terrible idea, but in the end that doesn’t even matter, we take risks anyway. Fear is the most powerful weapon on earth. Fear to be hurt, to be ridiculed, to make mistakes, to fail and not reach our goal. Fear can stop us from achieving or dreams, our goals, or even stop us from taking chances on people who want the best for us. As I said to Savannah, it’s true, she has all the right not to totally trust this guy because of her past experiences, but also if she keeps hiding from love then she’ll only hurt herself and others. If she wants those old wounds to heal she needs to give herself a chance to let someone help her heal them. It’s true, time helps a lot to heal wounds like those, but we also need to open ourselves to other choices that may help us. Sooner or later love is gonna catch us and there’s no way to stop that. We were created to love and to be loved, and I think we all agree that love is the best and most indescribable feeling in the world.
