Human's are funny in a sense. A majority of us spend a lot of time praying. Praying for something our heart desires, for the well being of those near and dear, and some.. for a miracle.
But what happens when our prayers are answered? When what we've been praying for day after day is within grasp?
We hesitate, we second-guess, and we hit a stand still.
I use to over-analyze, over-worry, over-think.. Within the past year I've lost people close to me, not temporarily, forever. My view of life has been altered, and I tend to value each new day I'm granted more than the one before.
I remember fearing love, fearing pain, fearing expressing myself. Opportunities passed, hearts were broken, and regrets formed from words left unsaid.
I guess you could say I'm a free spirit now. Regardless of what happens, I do what's in my heart, I say what's on my mind (whether good or bad), and I embrace any and everything that comes my way. Why? Because I'd rather be able to feel every smile, every tear, every pleasure, every pain.. instead of never being able to feel it again.
Life's wayy too short babes.
Very few people ever reach this emotional-physical-mental nirvana.. but once you get here.. it's a wonderful feeling.. trust.
Motivated like no other, love in my heart, and good health.. really nothing more you need. The best things in life, really are free.

I've been seeing a lot of my favorite Make-Up Guru's on YouTube utilize this product and when I saw it at Walgreen's I had to see what the fuss was about.
I usually don't gush over a product, but this stuff is A-freaking-mazing. I love the packaging, it's really unique. And the smell is pleasant, and application is flawless.
I highly encourage you to try this product, you won't be disappointed. Promise.

Changes
One of the many things I've been trying to work on is my inability to let go of grudges. Life has a funny way of teaching you things whether you like it or not.
The other day while browsing my news feed on Facebook I saw a status that really made me think. Who knew something so simple could totally blow your mind.
P e r s p e c t i v e.
The gal started the status with the question, "Are you the same person you were 5 years ago?" Of course it was a rhetorical question but in my mind I answered "No."
She then followed it up with the question, "So why is it so hard for us to believe that people cannot change?"
I thought about it.. and continued to do so.. and I had no answer. It's true, I am far from the person I was 5 years ago. Have been to hell and back, and am stronger than ever. So if someone has done me wrong, it might have been a lapse of judgment on their part that I never allowed them to correct.
From this point on, if there is an effort to make amends, they will be made if I truly believe the intentions are good. Life's too short to harbor such hate and resentment in your heart.. If GOD can forgive us for all of our sins, surly we can as well.
To become a better me.. I will work on not "deading" people from my life. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. Being more open-minded but not naive, don't get it twisted.. :)
Always room for improvement.. don't press rewind, just let it play.

Studying philosophy has got me doing all kinds of critical thinking.
Inside, outside, above, and across the b o x.
I've noticed that the happier you are with yourself, the easier it is to be happy for others. Misery really does love company. And happiness? Well happiness loves company just as well, if not more.
Despite how busy I've willingly decided to make myself these next few months, I've realized that as long as I have a good balance of work, play, and pleasure I'll be okay come December.
Deciding to reward myself once the semester is over by going on a cruise. Aiming for a 4.0 this semester as well. Talk about goal setting. I've always liked challenges though. I think I can I think I can I think I can

I n d e s c r i b a b l e
The feeling you give me:
indescribable although I’ll try.
The lovin you give me is better than any high.
My own strand of human marijuana,
Rehabilitation my heart denies,
Consuming my mind, body, and soul..
Continuously desired.
Unknown chambers in my heart,
You have come to occupy.
For better or for worse,
Love is crazy, but our hearts cant deny..
This crazy beautiful love we were destined to find.
*snaps*

f a i t h
It's always good just to have something to believe in...
I remember hitting rock bottom. I was lost. I was battered. My soul was bruised.
I remember nights where the only thing that would put me to bed were the swelling of my own eyes from the endless tears.
Through the tears I'd pray..pray for the strength to get me through this hardship in my life. For the courage to move forward and away from this rut I had put myself in.
I promised that if HE got me through this, I'd be forever grateful. I'd become a better individual and promise to slowly but surely restore myself to be better than before. the new and improved me.
After many tears and countless prayers.. one day I just stopped crying. I'd run out of tears, the pain was simply a hallow space in my heart, and I was ready to move forward.
Often times we pray only when we need God, but after my dwindling Faith got me through one of the hardest times of my life, my spiritual side has been stronger than ever.
Thankful for every new day I am blessed to see. Thankful for the opportunities presented for me, and thankful to still have my access to this crazy beautiful ride we call life.
LIVE . LOVE . LEARN
"Let all that you do be done in Love."
