Lion Heart
Being a sophomore in college, I know I don't understand everything there is to know about the world. As much as I try, I will never know why things happen the way they do and I will not always know if I am doing something the correct way. But this is life; life is rough around the edges, there is no guide map or tutorial to watch online that can show you the correct way to live. The way you live your life is up to you, darling.
Take your life by the reins and let your heart lead you. Sometimes your heart knows what you need more than what your brain thinks you need. You never know where your heart will lead you or what it will show you. Take a leap of faith and swim the sea of possibilities because you never know what you will find. I have found love, joy, support and peace through following my heart in the last year. Yes, there was a lot of pain, struggles, anxiety and second guessing. I am not free from pain, but I am learning to let go of all the pain and struggles in my past. Though, now that I am here, I know this is where I am supposed to be. I may not know what I am going to do with my life yet, but for the first time in a while I am truly happy. I feel free from the burdens of regret and full of the braveness of a lion.
I am a lionhearted girl and so are you. There is no magic equation to determine what you are meant to do, you just feel it in your heart. I have struggled with this since I was a junior in high school because I was so focused on my future and finding the perfect job. The truth is, it will all work out. We need to stop dwelling so much in our past and imagining too much about our future. Instead, we need to live in the present because it is such a beautiful gift, full of so many adventures and chances.
Darling, you can do this. You can set the world on fire. It might not be in the way you originally imagined, or the way people around you are igniting their flame, but it is your way. And your way is beautiful and full of so much potential. I may not be an expert on life, but I do know that you can achieve your dreams. You want to know why? Because I did; I followed my heart to a school 558 miles from all I have ever known, I am going to spend a semester in Austria in the spring, I am studying theology so I can spread love in the world, I am getting one step closer to making a difference in the world. I put my mind in the back seat, not letting second guessing get in my way too much, and let my heart guide me. It meant I was vulnerable, but it also opened me to so much beauty and grace in the world.
Take a leap of faith, dream big, and never lose that spark in your eyes. You are a lionhearted girl.
