Live out LOUD!!!!

“Look at you. You’re young. And you’re scared. Why are you so scared? Stop being paralyzed. Stop swallowing your words. Stop caring what other people think. Wear what you want. Say what you want. Listen to the musicyou want to listen to. Play it loud as fuck and dance to it. Go out for a drive at midnight and forget that you have school the next day. Stop waiting for Friday. Live now. Do it now. Take risks. Tell secrets. This life is yours. When are you going to realize that you can do whatever you want?”

The Power of Love

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. . .And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. - excerpts from 1 Corinthians 13:4-13

Love is very unique; it holds the power of suppression and freedom. Someone can be afflicted with love in constant search for the love of the person who has their heart but just simply doesn't reciprocate that feeling where you can't sleep, can't eat, reach for the stars, world serious kind of love. But it that even really love. Can you be in love with someone and they not love you in the same way.... Or is loving someone who doesn't love you back just a test of your love? I believe that you reap what you sow so if you've displayed unconditional love in any relationship, that's exactly what you will get. True love never fails.

HEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YOU.

You. Yes, you. I am writing this for you.

I know you are reading this. And I want you to know I am writing this for you. No one else will understand. No one else knows. They think that this is for them. But it’s not. I am writing this for you.

I want you to know, life…it’s hard. Every day can be a challenge. It can be a challenge to get up in the morning. To get yourself out of bed. To put on that smile. But I want you to know, that smile is what keeps me going some days. You need to remember, even through the tough times, you are amazing. You really are.

You should be happy. You are gorgeous.

I know that the weather might not be perfect. You might have to turn your back to the wind or feel the cold nipping at your nose. But you know what, at least you are there to feel it. At least you can enjoy the sun’s warm rays on your face. Or that cold February wind biting at your cheeks. You know what that means?

You are alive.

Everything will be okay.

Count your blessings....

BTW..... I had the best V-day EVER!!!!! :)

Valentine's Day

The common misprecception that people have is that Valentine's Day is a holiday celebrating love in a relationship but in reality, it's meant to celebrate love. I'm a lover of family, friends, life... and love. Love is what keeps us going in some shape, form or fashion. Whether it be the love and support of the people around us or the love for sucess and accomplishing our goals no matter how big or small. So tomorrow don't be sad that you have no signifigant other but be happy that you've experienced love in some way and that should make you feel whole. You're not missing out on anything the next person has.

Ok, now that I've given my spill on Valentine's Day, I can say that my experiences have not supported the celebrating "relationship love." I have had a boyfriend on Valentine's Day since my senior year in high school and i have yet to feel like I have trully experienced a great Valentine's Day. Sure I received flowers, cards and candy even a teddy bear once or twice but I don't feel like it came from the heart. I guess I'm just not the traditional kinda girl when it comes to gifts. I believe gifts that come from the heart are thoughtful and make you feel special. That's what I want and I refuse to settle until it happens.

Good luck to all you lovers out there....

My deepest fear....

Though I hate roller coasters, scream during thunderstorms and panic in the presence of most bugs, my deepest fear lies in the unknown. Uncertainty makes me ansy and reverts me back into my pad locked shell. I think of myself of an outgoing person but there are some situations that i cannot accept failure. So I guess that would make me hard headed as well. Whether it be not giving up or not willing to try something new..... I got uncertainty phobia in the severest form!!!! AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

I know when I try on a size 9 shoe, its gonna fit. That's why i'll never stop loving them.

10. Happiness is my choice.

I procrastinated all weekend and haven't studied a single thing. This morning I woke up and decided to multitask and take notes while listening to church on the Internet. Isn't it funny how God works. Like so many times before, I felt as if the message was just for me. Sometimes you have to do things even when you don't feel like it and God will meet you where you are.

The first scripture that touched my heart was 2 Corinthians 1:3 "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,the Father of compassion and God of all comfort." We often look to people and things to comfort us in our times of need instead of looking up. One of the things I've learned as a college student is to use my resources wisely. So when we have direct access to the ultimate comforter and don't take advantage of the opportunity, how can we expect to be successful.

The preacher mentioned another verse that just hit the nail right on the head for me. Isaiah 61:7 " Instead of their shame my people will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace they will rejoice in their inheritance; and so they will inherit a double portion in their land and everlasting joy will be theirs." Even though you may be going through an uncomfortable situation, you the ultimate comforter and He has blessings in store for you in the end. Going through implies that you are coming out. Psalm 126:5 "Those you sow in tears will reap with songs of joy."

Use every opportunity you have to enrich your life with wisdom..... advice is subjective.

Soul mates

" A true soul mate is probably the most important person you'll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave. A soul mate's purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, and make you so desperate and out of control that you transform your life." ~ Elizabeth Gilbert
