Pages Since Last Week: 590
Pages Since Semester: 650
Weekly Summary: Abby confessed to her parents about her outings with boys and told them everything that has been going on in her life. Abby is happy with finding her independency.
Weekly Thoughts: Earlier in Abby's life she had James, her first boyfriend, who soon cheated on her and became her ex boyfriend, but then came along Ian. Ian was a guy who genuinely took interest in her. Abby was feeling pressured into having to decide on a guy especially now that both Ian and James are fighting for her. What should Abby do? What would you do? The world moves at its own pace. It is either that you move with the world or you don't, and sometimes, you could even move ahead of the world..but anyways, the point is that it is best to move with the world, you know, go with the flow. And as you move with the world, it is best to follow your own flow and to not be pressured by anyone else, but to move accordingly to your own path. Some people ruin their lives by living under the influence of others. It should not be that way because you should follow your own self otherwise, your life would be imbalanced and you would never be happy.

Shaina, I could not have put this in better words! Having a relationship, especially so early on in life as a teenager is difficult. So if I were in her position, what would I do? I truly would not know what to do, because I have never been in the situation before! However, if a choice had to be made, I would list out for myself the pro's and con's of the significant other(s). Most importantly, I would have to question myself: "Is this choice worth to be made? Must I make the decision now?" A true love would wait until I am ready to take the plunge. If they have to pressure me into deciding what I am to do with my life, then they just aren't very understanding are they? Like you said, Abby must live "accordingly to [her] own path," rather than live "under the influence of others." This moral you have stated is applicable to not only Abby's life (who's a fictional character) but to those who read this.
What would I do? I'd choose Ian. He sounds so dreamy.. <3 Just kidding.
You have a point in saying that one should have their own flow in life. College is just around the corner and tons of students (including me) are still deciding where to go. It's hard enough to make the decision and it's even harder with your friends and family asking you "so.. where are you going?" My flow? I like to live in the moment. The future can wait another day. I live my life NOW and only now. Whatever obstacles come at me, I'll face it then. I don't want to contemplate issues that may/may not happen. What is flow on life?
yes...follow your heart, because that's the only way life is going to be the way you really want it to be. if i were Abby i would go with Ian, because if a guy cheated on me...that's it for him. well, maybe there would be another chance for him, but if there was another guy already....i would definitely go with Ian. OR maaybe just leave both of them and have fun staying single. as you said... go with the flow, because life is too short.
I agree with you that you should do as you please. You should listen to other people for opinions and different viewpoints, but you should be the person that makes the ultimate decision because it is your future at hand. I also agree with you that you should "move with the world." You should move along and learn to grow and adapt to all obstacles and situations that arise. Live your life the way you want to, or else, you won't be happy.
Having a relationship so early in life is difficult, especially if it is your first relationship. I know that when I was younger, I wanted my first boyfriend to be the one and only, but I was really naive. Moreover, the thought of having your sweetheart as your partner in life over clouded some decisions that I have made. Even though we had a lot of problems, I kept wanting to fix them because I truly wanted to have him be the only one. Later on, when I realized that I should just let the relationship go because it was not healthy for the both of us, I realized that it was better that way. Thus, if I were Abby, I would give Ian a chance and forget about James because he has given up his chance when he had cheated on her.
