It’s not about being in the right place at the right time. It’s about being the right person, even if you find yourself in the wrong circumstances.

what if I never go to college
and just spend my time working part-time jobs/being awesome for the rest of my life?
Right now I would be very content with that. I hate the lie that everyone seems to believe that to be worthy, I must have a degree.
I don’t like school. Blech.

I’m growing weary of confusion
but I’ve never been left without an answer coming at the very best time.
God has always been faithful to lead me when I need leading, and to let me choose when I should make my own decision. He told me to trust him and I’m learning to do so. But not having the answers I seek leaves so much room for my heart to be hurt. I’m at a loss for what to do!
The hard part is that I long for someone to fill in the blanks - I keep thinking, if only there was someone wise enough who could answer this for me…and then I come back to the conclusion that, at the end of the day, it’s me and God. I have to make my choices with him, and live with them. I can’t leave it in someone else’s hands.
I know this post is super vague but I can’t share the details of the situation. If you would pray for me, for clarity and understanding, I would really appreciate it.

Immature people falling in love destroy each other’s freedom, create a bondage, make a prison. Mature persons in love help each other to be free; they help each other to destroy all sorts of bondages. And when love flows with freedom there is beauty. When love flows with dependence there is ugliness.
A mature person does not fall in love, he or she rises in love. Only immature people fall; they stumble and fall down in love. Somehow they were managing and standing. Now they cannot manage and they cannot stand. They were always ready to fall on the ground and to creep. They don’t have the backbone, the spine; they don’t have the integrity to stand alone.
A mature person has the integrity to stand alone. And when a mature person gives love, he or she gives without any strings attached to it. When two mature persons are in love, one of the great paradoxes of life happens, one of the most beautiful phenomena: they are together and yet tremendously alone. They are together so much that they are almost one. Two mature persons in love help each other to become more free. There is no politics involved, no diplomacy, no effort to dominate. Only freedom and love.— Osho
