This is YOUR life, enjoy it!

I've always tried to think of myself as someone who doesn't let what other people think affect me. However, if I'm being honest with myself I do find myself stopping to think of what others may think. I think we all do it, whether consciously or not. But why? I mean really, why do I care if someone doesn't like what I'm doing?! If I am not hurting anyone and I am truly happy why should I care? I have acknowledged the fact that I am a people pleaser, I want everyone that matters to me to be happy. Not only happy with themselves, but happy with me. My new years resolution this year, among many others, was to stop holding myself back from doing what makes me happy because I am afraid I'll upset, disappoint, or let down someone else. Often times, the things we spend our time stressing about when it comes to what others will think are completely unnoticed by the person we think will care. Leaving us unhappy for absolutely no reason. So know when I find myself saying "Oh I want to" or "I like this" but not doing it for fear of the unknown I just...DO IT! We only get one life, one journey, one chance to do whatever is you feel you were born to do on this earth. So who cares what other people expect you to do, do you! They have their own lives to make themselves happy! So whatever it is that you worry about, whether its how you dress, wear you hair, what you go to school for, what job you want, who you date, if you date, or whatever it is do what makes you truly happy. This isn't me saying to do things that are self-destructive (although you would know because then you wouldn't TRULY be happy), this is me saying it's okay to be a little selfish when it comes to your happiness! In the end the people that truly love you will be happy because you're happy!

CIAO! 

Success...where do I go to find that?

What is the key to success? We all are taught from a young age that being successful is important. First of all what is success? Well in my opinion, I don't believe that any definition would sufficiently define "success". Success, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. It has different meanings for all of us. It may be passing that Biology Final, it may be climbing mt. everest, it may be making a million dollars, and it may just be making through the day. However, one thing I do believe is that success if achieved with goals. It is important to set goals, always reaching higher, without it its easy to lose focus, get off track. What are your goals? It could be for this year, this month, or even today, think about them, write them down and make a gameplan to accomplish your goals. Don't let anyone tell you what you can or can't do, you truly hold the key to your own success. I hope that you all continue to reach success in your lives because you deserve it! I hope that you continue to make goals for yourself and with perserverance I truly believe you can accomplish anyting your heart desires. So, its a new year, a fresh start, what do you have on your list for 09?

THE LOVE OF MY LIFE

I LOVE SHOES! I mean really really love them! Take the shoes to the right....GORGEOUS I saw them in the store and they took my breath away (literally) I had to have them, and I do. Many people ask me why in the world I'd want to walk around in 5in high pointy toe shoes but I don't care how much pain I'm in, how can you say no to those! I call them sexy cappuccino, the picture honestly doesn't do them any justice! I get excited just thinking about high heels, the higher the better, and being that I am tall already I guess its a bit strange that I'd want to be even taller-but I don't care!!! I've even had dreams about having a shoe room, yes a room, a whole room filled with shoes...kind of like the closet Big made Carrie..but BIGGER! So maybe I do have a problem....ok, yes I have a problem...but hey, it's better to be addicted to shoes then drugs right??? Beautiful shoes, you take my breath away, brighten my day when I'm sad, make me feel beautiful, cause me some pain sometimes, but ur worth it! I'm beginning to think my shoes sound like a man...maybe I'll marry shoes...ok I'm not that crazy... but I mean....

Adios!

An oldie but goodie....

I laugh no matter how many times I've seen this...Enjoy!

Women and Relationships *sigh*

                                                                                  

                         

I have a friend who we shall call....Sasha (her idea not mine, my first choice was "I think I'm Important Pretty and Fabulous, but I'm really not")...anyway... Sasha has been on an off with her boyfriend/ex depending on the time of the day for three years. As of right now it is her boyfriend..however, that could change by the time I post this entry. I met sasha this past summer and though she is now a good friend of mine her relationship with her boyfriend/ex is beyond ridiculous. She actually has a decent guy, but she's not ready to settle down and just wants to date and be free to date other people, therefore, leaving her boyfriend/ex heartbroken time and time again. The last time they broke up, maybe a month ago? I can't keep up...anyway she claimed that this was it and it was final, no more getting back together she was done playing the yo-yo game. Today as we chatted on aim chat with our other friend Oprah (she asked to be called that) sasha proceeded to inform me of all the throngs of men vying for her affection . . . I asked her about her boyfriend/ex and if they were still pretending to not be together but seeing each other everyday and she let me know they were in fact back together...SHOCKING...not. Here's how the rest of our convo went-

Oprah- YOU'RE TOGETHER???

Sasha- Sadly, Yes

Oprah- If you're sad then why are you doing it

Me- O gosh, this is ridiculous

Sasha- Lol, Im trifflin I know 

*For those of you unsure of what trifflin means...please exit now, Thank You*

I don't get it, she knows she doesn't want to be in a relationship, she even knows she doesn't want to marry the poor guy, but yet...she continues this ridiculous cycle *sigh*

I have another friend and I won't even begin to go into that but  I have come to the conclusion that women young and old lose a big piece of common sense and logic when love/lust come into play. We stay in going no where fast relationships with men who we know are not what we truly want or who truly deserve us because of the fear of being alone. (I've been there too) It makes me quite sad to think that this is what we've come to..

Women- Love is beautiful, and can be an exciting journey when you find it with that special person, but don't let that person define who you are as a person and yes it does take work when two completely different people from completely different worlds try and come together. HOWEVER, it is important to know when its time to let something go! It's important to know ahead of time what you will and won't put up with and stick to that! Know your worth. Don't be desperate. Don't stay in a situation because you're too afraid of being alone. Don't let your ears hear what you want to hear or your eyes see what you want to see, get it together ladies! Don't settle, you will regret it later! It's better to be alone and happy then together and miserable thinking of the what could have beens....However, if you find a good man who loves you and you love him and respects you and respect him hold on tight and work through it!

As you can see I can talk about this topic forever so be on the look out for Women and Relationships parts 2, 3, 4, 5....1,999,999,999

Au Revoir!

Why Blog?

*Facebook Chat at 1:33pm*

Me- "I think I want to start a blog today"

O- "u should!!! What about?"

Me- "I dont know, i was thinking ill just start with my random thought for the day or things that interest me and then figure it out from there"

O- "Yea that'd be cool"

Me- "For example, todays topic would be women and relationships" (see next post)

O- "Hahaha"

End Convo.
