Grateful

A huge weight has just been lifted from my shoulders. I am happy that I have made it yet another day to say 'Thank you' and 'I love you.' I have come to my senses and realized that my life is awesome.

Have you ever had those days when you feel like things were moving too slowly? You look at the clock and see that what has felt like hours were only seconds? Those days when everything that could go wrong does go wrong? Or even when you couldn't see the forest because all the trees were in the way?

Sometimes, we forget how good we have it. How, this moment that we perceive to be so overbearing is not as bad as things could have been. We forget how lucky we are and that today is another opportunity to be grateful.

So, wipe your tears, clean your face. Listen to me as I cheer you on. Hell, be your own cheerleader. But if you come to the conclusion that you cannot go any further, remember that I am rooting for you and me.

Today I am that. Grateful.

Luckier Than You Think



Try not to forget that today is a blessing. Since tomorrow is not promised, live today.

Uncertainty

There was a time in my life when I was sure that I had all my p's and q's in order. I knew exactly what I wanted to do and how exactly I planned to get from point A to point B. Now, not so much. It feels like I'm on a shaky foundation and I am not quite sure where I'll end up. What graduate school am I applying to? What if I don't get in. What type of job am I gonna get after graduation. Not to mention my love life. I know things don't always  happen as planned but why does it have to be so hard at times. The 'not-knowing' is driving me half-way insane. 

I have to keep reminding myself that tomorrow will be a better day, the secrets of the world will be revealed and answers will be uncovered. I am sure though that His plan is better than mine.

Time Heals

A really good friend of mine told me something that was very much needed today to keep my spirits up:

... time will heal ...

but when it does heal,

it heals right

Self-Concept - Drop Your Anger

Curly Nikki Natural Hair Styles and Curly Hair Care:
by Leandra of What my World's Like

Anger is crippling when used improperly. We ofter act - not react - to it without knowing the feeling that's motivating action. Anger is a motivate force and when you feel it, you should always monitor your emotions. How do you feel? Angry? Hurt? Sad? Disappointed? Betrayed? Impatient? To what degree ...

Why Should I Even Try?

It amazes me how cruel some people can be. I just read a news report about the body of a 3 year old finally being found after she went missing earlier this month. It breaks my heart to realize that a person can just abduct a child, kill then and toss their body away like garbage. Our world is becoming more heartless by the hour.

I haven't even said anything about the kids killing their own classmates, parents abusing their children, or teenage boys beating and killing someone just because of their skin color. Everyday I read, hear and see stories of neglect, violence, and crime. I see that the world is not improving. It makes me wonder what is the point of me wanting to better myself when all around me the world is falling apart.

Here is me

Today is going to be a new day. I introduce you to a new me and my new view on life. I am making an effort to better myself and not always rely on others. I am trying to be nicer and not just blurt out the first thing that comes to my mind. I will try to censor myself.

I am 27 years old and you would think (or at least, I would hope) that I had everything all together but I don't. Luckily, everyday presents an opportunity for me to improve myself and stop all my immature ways.
So here our journey begins. We'll discuss society, make-up, hair, weight, my classes and anything else I find interesting.

Let's see what tomorrow brings.
