So, I decided to write a blog because my brother in law, Scott, has one, and it gives me something to do with the amount of free time I have (mostly tons). Some of my posts will be about my life, and getting all of my stress out, and some will be advice/ramblings on what I have come to realize so far in the past 24 years of my life (which, I just started to see is a whole lot of NOTHING, but I can pretend).
I thought I would start with four qualities I belive women need to have in their life. It could apply to men too I guess, but I don't think they really care about the qualities they have.
1. The first is some sort of passion in her life. Whether that comes from relationships, friendships, career opportunity, she has got to have something that she is passionate about. Hopefully, there's more than just one thing as well. My biggest passion so far in life is wanting to be a teacher. I cannot explain the feeling I get seeing classrooms, interacting with students, or the other feelings I get when I see a student "gets" whatever it is were talking about, but I would kill to be able to feel that way everyday. I would literally teach seven days a week, 12 months of the year, if I could. I absolutely love it that much. I hope that people out there feel that way about something in their life too.
2. Another quality women should possess is a "sisterly" one. I feel sorry for those women out there that do not have a sister, because I have the three best sisters out there and yes, you should be jealous of the fact that I can absolutely want to strangle them at times and then want to talk to them the very next second. So for those out there without this bond, you need to find someone out there who can be like a sister to you and who you can be a sister to. I do not know what it is, but I know I'm always okay in life if I am able to talk to them about anything and they still love me.
3. Women should have the ability to regret things in life . I do not buy that whole "I have no regrets" people say when asked about it because of course you do. You may not dwell on it like I'm sure I probably do, but regret is a need in life to me because without those regrets, I do not know how you could possibly find whatever it is you're looking for. I have a lot of regrets in life, but they only make me stronger and make me realize that you've got to hold on for dear life when you know you don't want to regret that thing too.
4. The final thing I think that I have needed in my life so far is the power to forgive and the power to forget. Forgiving someone for doing something to you is always going to be hard, but you have to forgive in order to find peace for it. Now, that doesn't mean you have to pretend everything is peachy and go on like before, because that's where the power to forget comes in. Once you forgive, it's important to either forget it and move forward or forget them and move ahead without them. Anyone out there with the power to do that is strong and to me, is the kind of friend I want to have...you'd better stand up for something or else you will end up getting walked all over.
So here is my first blog....there is definitely a whole bunch more I could keep talking about, but for now, I hope you can post what you think you need to possess.
