I Believe In...

True love, soul mates, serendipity and fate

Singing, even when there is no music

Eating cookies for breakfast

The good in everyone

Holding hands

Taking chances

Acting like a kid again

Doing nice things for other people just because

Staying up all night

Driving fast with the windows down and the music blasting

Natural beauty

Walking around barefoot

Eating whipped cream straight from the can

The power of time to heal all wounds

Destiny

Miracles

Sing-a-longs

Best friends

Celebrating the small things

Watching sappy romance movies and crying your eyes out

Endless summers

Doing what you love with passion

Wishing upon stars, and the idea that dreams really can come true

Friends becoming family

Shopping as a form of therapy

Forgiveness

and

True happiness

Candle.

This is going to be a lot harder that I thought...it has turned into more than I expected it would.

Mistakes We Knew We Were Making

You know what one of the worst feelings is? Guilt. Unlike other feelings, the guilt you feel is often a result from your own actions and wrong doings. Things that are often in your control, and therefore, your responsibility. The worst part about guilt is that no matter how many times you replay a situation in your head, you cannot change what happened. In hindsight, you realize what should have happened, but there is no way to undo what has already been done. A scene can replay in your head, for days, months or years like a bad dream.

So, my personal remedy for this? Simple. Live with no regrets. We all make mistakes, trust me, I know, but we shouldn't dwell on them. Because, really, what's the point in doing that? At this point, you can't change the situation. But, what you can change is how you act the next time. I am a huge believer in learning from your mistakes.

Guilt is beneficial because it is what keeps us in check. We might think that something we do is right, or acceptable, our feelings tell us that it is not. So, even when our judgment might be skewed, our guilt is there to bring us crashing back to earth.

Make mistakes. It's inevitable. Just take a breath, recollect, learn, move on and become better.

The other day it occurred to me that I haven't blogged in awhile. I guess this is just because I haven't had much to say. I tend to write in times of unease, and I just haven't felt recently. Amazing? The answer, Yes.

I'm at a place in my life where I haven't been in a long while. A place where I am content beyond all belief. I am so happy and grateful for everything and everyone in my life right now, and there is no place else I'd rather be. I'm overwhelmed with feelings of...peace, and at times, I just find myself smiling. This feeling probably won't last for long, because it never seems to. But, for now, I just want to enjoy it.

Life's Little Book of Instructions

" I like nonsense; it wakens up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope and that enables you to laugh at life's realities."
--- Dr. Seuss

It's just a thought...

Maybe he's just not that into you...

Just from the title of this blog, I bet you can guess where my inspiration came from. Needless to say, it's a subject that has gotten me thinking...why are we so concerned about over analyzing everything people do in relationships? I guess as girls, we are conditioned to believe that when a guy says something, there is a lot more to what he is saying than just the words coming out of his mouth. However, the only reason we believe this is because we, as girls, do the complete opposite. That is, we cannot be direct. Sorry, but you have to face the truth. We try to avoid hurting people's feelings, confrontation, whatever, by beating around the bush. We say something, but we mean something else. I'm not saying that I'm not guilty of this too, but what's the point? Guys are direct. What they say is what they mean, simple as that. So, now that we have established that, lets move on...

As I said, boys are direct. If they want to call you, they will. If they want to text you, they will. If they want anything to do with you, they will make it happen. If you are waiting for one of the things said above, but have yet to see any progress, guess what honey...yup, you know what I'm gonna say, he's probably just not that into you. So next time you're at a party and have consumed a bit too much, and you start to get that slushy, mushy feeling in your stomach when you see couples all around you, don't grab your phone and call that potential guy because it will only lead to bad things. Instead think WWPCD, what would Princess Camilla (hint hint: she's the princess of Wales) do. Would she call that guy sobbing about how he is such a jerk and how he should care more about her? Would she check her phone every ten minutes to see if he texted her back? Would she text him AGAIN just because he didn't respond to the first text? Clearly, the answer to all these questions is NO. So, that means you shouldn't do any of these things either, becuase your just as much of a princess as she is...kinda.
