Alyson Stoner: my kind of girl!

I just wanted to share something that was said by the sweet Alyson Stoner recently in the days leading up to Valentines day:
I'm preparing my heart for Feb. 14th, and not in the way you may suspect. I don't have a boyfriend, I don't have a date, and I'm not looking. But newsflash: I'm not defined by my Valentine. (It rhymes for a reason, remember the phrase.) There's NO pressure to reach a certain level of "love" by the fourteenth. In fact, true love arises spontaneously and is a result of patience, respect, and honorable actions. I'm NOT required to manufacture romance, and neither are you. Truth be told, trying to create a "special" experience because it's expected, accepted, and prevalent doesn't usually prove to be the wisest choice in navigation (especially in this case). The gutsy, respectable, and rewarding path requires a different attitude, in which you prepare and guard your heart. What road will you walk? --- There are many people who are looking for love, but are they looking out for you? You're one-of-a-kind. Maybe this year you can take a step back and think about your plan for Valentine's Day. It's one day. Your future is every other day after. Be careful, be wise, and don't worry about making this holiday something straight out of a romantic comedy. I'm an actress, and I've yet to see real life play out like a movie. This year, I'm sharing all my love with family and friends; yes, there's a place in my heart reserved for a special guy, but I haven't reached that season. And I'm in no rush. -- Hope this encourages you!!! Have a good one, & speak soon… xo

Can I just say I love this girls heart, and her passion for reaching out to young people and telling them what's up,what's real, and what's legit!
Hope you all are having a great week.I am looking forward to the coming weekend! Much love
