Dare to Believe

I don't know whether using this layout for this contest is even okay, since it's been posted before, but I do like it, and everything else I'm submitting is new.

My journaling reads:

Belief. It's such an easy word to say. Two syllables. Six letters. Why then, if it's such a simple word, is it often so hard to do? I find myself faced daily with situation where "all you have to do is believe." And I want to. I really do. But so many times I end up playing what-if. Wondering what will really happen.
My godmother tells me that you have to believe something will happen before it can. As difficult as I find that to wrap my mind around, by some miracle, it usually works. Believing that I really can find people (other than my parents) who care for me. And then those people like KJ and Jen waltx into my life and become a part of my family. Believing that it is possible th accomplish anything. And waking up one morning to realize that I'm through with high school and in the middle of writing a book. At 15.
Believing that I'm a good writer. And then getting letters in the mail that say yes, you've been published.
Writing stores that people want to know the end of. Believing that no matter how weird, freaky, and strange the rest of the world believes I am, I'm going to be okay. Because I have people who love me. And I am. And I do. And I also believe that life is meant to be good. That we are all meant to enjoythis ride we've been strapped into.
I may not undrstand the probability, but somehow, I think that just by believing that, it has to be.

My godmother took these pics of me at the Jam last October, and I fell in love with them. (they were before the hair cutting accident, lol) And what I said in the journaling is so true, lol. It's an ongoing battle between knowing I ought to be thinking positively, and actually doing it. And yet, it all works out in the end :)
