Writing My Own Vows

"Why is it that we are willing to write our own vows but not our own rules?" - Sex in the City

For the first time about a week ago (breaks into song) I stumbled upon Sex in the City. I truly don't know if it was the first or second one, if I'm not mistaken there are only two movies and series...right? Anyway, I had never seen it before but had only heard good things. I didn't get to watch the entire movie but I did get to see a good portion of the ending and I loved what I got to see! I adore the idea that four girls grew up in the city and fell in love with their lives and each other all while discovering new bits and pieces of themselves and the area around them.

This quote when spoken, I immediately wrote it down in my notes to write some commentary on it for you guys. Simply because the second I heard it I thought to myself YES You're totally right! WHY do people do this?! Not writing your vows in your wedding it kind of frowned upon and not very common so why is writing your own rules so uncommon? Who's telling you no? Who's stopping you from saving up money and going to Australia or opening your own store or figuring out if you can paint! Only you! You're stopping yourself of seeing what you're capable of and it drives me absolutely c r a z y to see someone overflowing with potential and not acting on any of it!

You are so special and capable of so much. If you want to do something, do it. Don't think about what people will think of you, just do it. If you're living to please everyone else but yourself, you'll end up not ever succeeding in the path to happiness. Why would you want to be the reason you're not happy?
