this may sound cheesy quoting something from a video-game-turned-movie but it is true: "we make our own destiny..." that doesn't mean that i don't believe that God has a higher plan for us or that everything happens for a reason because i do. it's just that the choices we make and the risks we take mold our lives. we cannot just sit on our asses and think that we are victims of our own lives. we have to work hard at making our lives better and only when we fail do we accept that everything happens for a reason. sometimes, failing once should not be something that should discourage us and stop us from trying. if we fail once, it just means that we should do things differently and try again. it is when we fail that we learn of our faults and learn to pick ourselves up.
i am not invincible. no one is (unless superman does exist) but life is too short to be in fear all the time. life is too short to wait for something good to happen to our lives. i say, let's make it our own --- destiny, that is. take risks. fall in love. follow your heart.
ps. meet my 'beanie' puppy -- louie. he was given by my former manager for christmas and he has been with me through a lot of stressful times and yes, risks.

aww you look so gorgeous in this dress!
i totally feel exactly the same as you. I think some things in our life are kind of fate but it is the decisions along the way that determines what we create for ourselves. if that makes sense! haha
xo
I love your bracelets!

You are so right Gizelle :) Even if God has his plan for us, it's also our job to make it happen. We can't just wait because God helps those who help themselves.
Go and make those choices. Live life without rules. Live life with the lessons we acquire along the way. :)
We're in the same place right now Gizelle and I'm still making it happen for myself. I'm still finishing thesis. hahaha. Mwah!
Great Look! I love the dog tags, i got my boyfriend some made a couple of years ago and now i think i am going to have to try steal them
we really do mold our own destinies to some extent. we have hundreds of choices and take thousands of risks...each and every day. :)
and by the way, that dress is stunning! i adore the crochet and the subtle polka-dots!
I do think life is a combination of both..but I feel what's most important is that everyone should take control of their life and not be too quick to surrender to fate.
just my two cents :)
adore you semi crochet dress <3<3<3
eclectic du jour

i love your dress gizelle! how's job hunting? :) hope you find the job for you :)
I agree with you, and I think that is a little of what free will is about -- we are placed in times and places and given talents and belongings and we are the ones that decide what to do with them.
It is too short to be afraid. Beanie puppy is cute!
