i accept

it's easy to lose sight of the light at the end of the tunnel

it's even easier to get caught up in the words and actions of others

so many things that we can't control - yet we struggle and fight against them

acceptance is hard but i can do it

i don't want to, but i can do it

realizing that what happens for others won't necessarily happen for me

     i accept

understanding that i have to work to make things happen, not just expect them to "fall into place"

     i accept

putting into action the steps necessary to make things go the way i want them to

     i accept

accepting that it won't be easy and i might want to quit, but i can't

     i definitely accept

the things that are worth having the most are usually the hardest ones to grasp onto

the things that are worth having the most are usually the things that don't happen

     unless you work so fucking hard that it is physically painful

the things that are worth having the most oftentimes seem impossible

the things that are worth having the most are things that matter the most

          and i will stop at nothing to make sure those things come true for me

               for us.

i accept whatever happens, because i honestly believe everything happens for a reason

i don't believe in fate

          i believe in circumstances that align just so

               and then taking full advantage of them

          i believe in making your own destiny

          i believe in going after goals 

          i believe in love

          i believe in soulmates

               we are meant to be, and i feel that in the core of my being

          i believe in being the bigger person

               even if it takes a bit of time to swallow that pride

          i believe in family

          i believe in acceptance

i accept but i don't settle.

i accept but i don't give in.

i accept but i won't stop.

i accept but i'm willing to do anything i can to change it.

i accept and i know what that means...

                    that means i've got a step up.

                              that means i'm already ahead of the game.

                                         that means i'll be looking out

                                                    that means i'm ready for anything

                                                              and i'm ready for anything with you.

let's go.
