Just Remember...



    Today is a jam packed day! Mike and I have been packing for the past two hours and our little Xterra is full to the brim. We're about to head out to my parents' house and then store some of it at my Nana's. Also, my best friend Casey is currently driving from Kansas to come spend his 27th birthday here with us! Hooray! Happy Birthday, Caseface! Love you lots! It'll be a busy weekend but I'm so excited! We're actually making progress on our little home! I promise an outfit post soon and even a little personal life update! Yoooww!

In Case You Were Wondering...


    You are not your bra-size, nor are you the width of your waist, nor are you the slenderness of your calves. You are not your hair color, your skin color, nor are you a shade of lipstick. Your shoe-size is of no consequence. You are not defined by the amount of attention you get from males, females, or any combination thereof. You are not the number of sit-ups you can do, nor are you the number of calories in a day. You are not your mustache. You are not the hair on your legs. You are not a little red dress. You are no amalgam of these things. 

    You are the content of your character. You are the ambitions that drive you. You are the goals that you set. You are the things that you laugh at and the words that you say. You are the thoughts you think and the things you wonder. You are beautiful and desirable not for the clique you attend, but for the spark of life within you that compels you to make your life a full and meaningful one. You are beautiful not for the shape of the vessel, but for the volume of the soul it carries.

    Will your day be lovely?



      I think we should all make it a priority to try and do one of these things every single day. In fact, it wouldn't be too hard to do most of them every single day. Smile. Say thank you. Yes ma'am and no ma'am. Look at yourself in the mirror and say "I love you, you're beautiful." A little bit goes a long way.

      Here's to wishing you all a most magical Sunday! xo

      39. Learn the rules then break some.
      40. Remember that the best relationship is one where your love for each other is greater than your need for each other.
      41. Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.

    Ten Rules For Being Human



       1. You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it's yours to keep for the entire period.
      2. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called, "life."
      3. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial, error, and experimentation. The "failed" experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiments that ultimately "work."
      4. Lessons are repeated until they are learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can go on to the next lesson.
      5. Learning lessons does not end. There's no part of life that doesn't contain its lessons. If you're alive, that means there are still lessons to be learned.
      6. "There" is no better a place than "here." When your "there" has become a "here", you will simply obtain another "there" that will again look better than "here."
      7. Other people are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself.
      8. What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tool and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.
      9. Your answers lie within you. The answers to life's questions lie within you. All you have to do is look.
      10. You will forget all this.

    Mid-Week Words.

      You can choose to go, do, be, and have, and in the end you'll exclaim, shocked and bewildered, that because of all the synchronicities of your life, all the "clicks" and "coincidences," and the many happy "accidents," your bounty and good fortune must have been your destiny.
      Or, you might choose to wait for a miracle, a savior, or divine intervention, and in the end you'll exclaim, shocked and bewildered, that because of all the synchronicities of your life, all the missed chances and disappointments, and the many unhappy accidents, your lack and misfortune must have been your destiny.
      Sweet Angel, do you see what the difference is?
      It ain't me,

    We All Feel This Way Sometimes...


      It turned out he wasn’t in love with me like I thought. What I’m trying to say is, I understand feeling as small and insignificant as humanly possible and how it can ache in places you didn’t know you had inside you. And it doesn’t matter how many new haircuts you get, or gyms you join or glasses of champagne you drink with your girlfriends, you still go to bed every night going over every detail and wonder what you did wrong, or how you could’ve misunderstood and how in the hell for that brief moment you could think that you were that happy. And sometimes you can even convince yourself that he’ll see the light and show up at your door and after all that however long all that may be, you’ll go somewhere new and you’ll meet people who make you feel worthwhile again and it’ll be as though your soul will finally come back and all that fuzzy stuff, those years of your life that you wasted will eventually begin to fade.


      -----------------



      Take wrong turns. Talk to strangers. Open unmarked doors. And if you see a group of people in a field, go find out what they are doing. Do things without always knowing how they’ll turn out. You’re curious and smart and bored, and all you see is the choice between working hard and slacking off. There are so many adventures that you miss because you’re waiting to think of a plan. To find them, look for tiny interesting choices. And remember that you are always making up the future as you go.



      -----------------



      When you love someone, you’ll do anything you can to keep them with you. Unfortunately, there is also a point when you have to step back and say that it’s time to let go.
      — My Sister’s Keeper


      -----------------


      “I’ve learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on and it will be better tomorrow. I’ve learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he or she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I’ve learned that regardless of your relationship with your family, you’ll miss them when they’re gone from your life. I’ve learned that making a living is not the same thing as making a life and I’ve learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I’ve learned that you shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. I’ve learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision and I’ve learned that even when I have pains, I don’t have to be one. I’ve learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. I’ve learned that I still have a lot to learn in life and I’ve learned that people will forget what you said and what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” -Maya Angelou


      -----------------



      Lost love is still love…it takes a different form, that’s all. You can’t see their smile or bring them food or tousle their hair or move them around a dance floor. But when those senses weaken, another heightens. Memory. Memory becomes your partner. You nurture it. You hold it. You dance with it. Life has to end, love doesn’t. 



      -----------------



      You grieve at the level you loved. 



      -----------------



      When people walk away from you, let them walk. Don’t try to talk another person into staying with you, loving you, calling you, caring for you, coming to see you, or staying attached to you. When people walk away, let them walk. Your destiny isn’t tied to anybody that left. 



      -----------------



      Because sometimes there is no easy way out. You just have to grin and bear it. Sometimes the only escape route is to go straight through the flames, just brace yourself and bite your lip. Sometimes you have to sever the ties clean off. Because in every relationship there comes a point when the damage is too much and no matter how good it once was, the memories can’t sustain you. You have to save yourself knowing all the while it will hurt like hell. Because you can’t keep giving someone everything if you get nothing in return. 



      -----------------



      Someday, someone’s going to walk in your life and you’re going to know why it didn’t work out with anyone else.



      xoxo

    Please Find This...

       
      “On this day, you read something that moved you and made you realise there were no more fears to fear. No tears to cry. No head to hang in shame. That every time you thought you’d offended someone, it was all just in your head and really, they love you with all their heart and nothing will ever change that. That everyone and everything lives on inside you. That that doesn’t make any of it any less real.
      That soft touches will change you and stay with you longer than hard ones.
      That being alone means you’re free. That old lovers miss you and new lovers want you and the one you’re with is the one you’re meant to be with. That the tingles running down your arms are angel feathers and they whisper in your ear, constantly, if you choose to hear them. That everything you want to happen, will happen, if you decide you want it enough. That every time you think a sad thought, you can think a happy one instead.
      That you control that completely.
      That the people who make you laugh are more beautiful than beautiful people. That you laugh more than you cry. That crying is good for you. That the people you hate wish you would stop and you do too.
      That your friends are reflections of the best parts of you. That you are more than the sum total of the things you know and how you react to them. That dancing is sometimes more important than listening to the music.
      That the most embarrassing, awkward moments of your life are only remembered by you and no one else. That no one judges you when you walk into a room and all they really want to know, is if you’re judging them. That what you make and what you do with your time is more important than you’ll ever fathom and should be treated as such. That the difference between a job and art is passion. That neither defines who you are. That talking to strangers is how you make friends.
      That bad days end but a smile can go around the world. That life contradicts itself, constantly. That that’s why it’s worth living.
      That the difference between pain and love is time. That love is only as real as you want it to be. That if you feel good, you look good but it doesn’t always work the other way around.
      That the sun will rise each day and it’s up to you each day if you match it. That nothing matters up until this point. That what you decide now, in this moment, will change the future. Forever. That rain is beautiful.
      And so are you.”

    The Power of Positive...


      Yesterday I had a bad day. It started bad. It was bad before midnight even rolled around and Monday it became. I found myself not being able to fall asleep until well after 3am. Leaving me with very little sleep and of course I spent the major part of work falling asleep at my desk. It was worsened by the internet shorting out and not being able to get work done. And then I come home to find Anon getting riled up about a misinterpretation of my words. It just wasn't a good day. But the amazing thing is that that was yesterday. And today is a brand new day. I cozied into bed last night, got a wonderful night's sleep, and woke up feeling like a new person. I truly regret letting something as silly as miscommunication get under my skin, but I also realize that I am human, and as a human, I have feelings that I sometimes can't let go, and I reacted in a way that I'm not ashamed of. BUT, I didn't have to bring it to my blog and put it on your shoulders. Even when something goes wrong, I shouldn't fluff it up and give it more attention by bringing it to this platform because even though I adore every last one of you, some of you are like me... you stick up for people even when you're not involved. It warms my heart that some of you want to fight for me against a nasty anon, but that isn't your place, and I don't want to put you in that position. So rather than focus on the negative anymore, I'm doing an overhaul! For the next seven days, I will not blog or tweet a single negative thing. Got a headache? Take some medicine. Rip my tights? Look at it as a new way to wear them. You get back what you put into the world. Positive vibes reaps positive rewards.


      I realize seven days isn't a long time, but I know that I do better with short term goals. When day 7 rolls around, I'll try to tack 7 more days onto it. Or a month. Either way, I'm going to practice what I preach and stay positive always.

      I get asked a lot about how I manage to change my mood and just look at the bigger picture. Well, you've seen how I sometimes fail at it, so now let me share the way in which I succeed. Positive affirmations! Positive quotes! Positive photos! It's simple really... so now I'm going to share with you some of my favorites from my stash (I have a lot!)




      "The best thing to give to your enemy is forgiveness; to an opponent, tolerance; to a friend, your heart; to your child, a good example; to a father, deference; to your mother, conduct that will make her proud of you; to yourself, respect; to all men, charity." - benjamin franklin



      "There is little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference. The little difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative." - w. clement stone


      "It is important that you recognize your progress and take pride in your accomplishments. Share your achievements with others. Brag a little. The recognition and support of those around you is nurturing." -rosemarie rossetti


      "Keep true, never be ashamed of doing right; decide on what you think is right and stick to it."

      "Persons are judged to be great because of the positive qualities they possess, not because of the absence of faults."

      "If you think about disaster, you will get it. Brood about death and you hasten your demise. Think positively and masterfully, with confidence and faith, and life becomes more secure, more fraught with action, richer in achievement and experience." - swami viekananda


      "The positive thinker sees the invisible, feels the intangible, and achieves the impossible."


      "A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort." - herm albright


      "You've done it before and you can do it now. See the positive possibilities. Redirect the substantial energy of your frustration and turn it into positive, effective, unstoppable determination." - ralph marston

      Do you have any positive affirmations or quotes that you try to live by? What helps turn your mood around? Certain type of music? A certain song? Let's hear 'em!

    Taking Chances...

      I haven't posted something like this in a hot minute, so without further adieu, I give you a few words to get you through your week...

      A ship is safe in harbor, but that is not what ships are for. - William Shedd
      -------------
      Progress always involves risks. You can't steal second base and keep your foot on first. - Frederick B. Wilcox
      -------------
      Why not go out on a limb? Isn't that where the fruit is? - Frank Scully
      -------------
      This nation was built by men who took risks - pioneers who were not afraid of the wilderness, business men who were not afraid of failure, scientists who were not afraid of the truth, thinkers who were not afraid of progress, dreamers who were not afraid of action. - Brooks Atkinson
      -------------
      One does not discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time. - Andre Gide
      -------------
      Living at risk is jumping off the cliff and building your wings on the way down. - Ray Bradbury
      -------------
      Risk more than others think is safe. Care more than others think is wise. Dream more than others think is practical. Expect more than others think is possible. - Cadet Maxim
      -------------
      Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor, catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. - Mark Twain
      -------------
      Wheresoever you go, go with all your heart. - Confuscius
      -------------


      I think we all sometimes cower in fear of actual success. We run from opportunities, even when we swear we don't. Sometimes it's much easier to say "what if" than to just accept than we may actually succeed. I'm gulity, and I bet you are, too. Let's change that. Let's reinvent the way we look at not only opportunity, but ourselves. 

      What is the biggest risk you've ever taken? How did it work out for you? Did you learn anything?

    Wise Words.

      Someone in my FormSpring asked if I could post some relationship/love quotes, so I'm doing just that! Mike, Toby and I are headed to Mike's parents' house for his Dad's birthday. We'll probably be staying the night so this is the only post for today! Enjoy!



      "You will try to run and he will let you but he will be standing exactly where you left him when you went ahead and lost your mind, not because he has nowhere else to be or because he’s a pushover, but because he understands that you are worth waiting for. And you are, not because he proved it to you, but because he gave you the time to realize it for yourself." -Anaïs Escobar


      "It’s when you hold eye contact for that second too long or maybe the way you laugh. It sets off a flash and our memories take a picture of who we are at that point when we first know “This is love.” And we clutch that picture to our hearts because we expect each other to always be the people in that picture. But people change. People aren’t pictures. And you can either take a new picture or throw the old one away." -Iain Thomas

      "I hope that someday, somebody wants to hold you for twenty minutes straight, and that’s all they do. They don’t pull away. They don’t look at your face, they don’t try to kiss you. All they do is wrap you up in their arms, without an ounce of selfishness in it." — Waitress

      "The Velveteen Rabbit was about how little kids get one toy that they love more than all the others, and even when its fur has been rubbed off, and it’s gone saggy with bits missing, the little child still thinks it’s the most beautiful toy in the world, and can’t bear to be parted from it. That’s how it works, when people really love each other." — Helen Fielding

      "But love, I’ve come to understand, is more than three words mumbled before bed time. Love is sustained by action, a pattern of devotion in the things we do for each other every day." — Nicholas Sparks

      "I spend 23 hours a day wondering whether we’re wrong for each other, wondering whether we’ve got the energy that we need to get through everything that we seem to get into, whether the baggage we both bring would sink a small ship. But in the 24th hour, I realize I’ve been thinking about her for 23 hours and I come back to there’s something about her, I can’t stay away from. Something about her, that makes me want to love her." — ER

      “ Who wants the perfect guy? Not me. I don’t want anyone perfect. I don’t want anyone normal, thats just boring. I want someone weird. I want someone unpredictable. I want someone who lets things slide and who loves to laugh and makes me laugh. I want someone who will be crazy about me, and isn’t afraid to let everyone know it. I want him to be able to tell me to shut the hell up when I am bugging him. I want someone who challenges me, in every way. I want someone who puts up with my shit, but isnt a pushover. I want someone who pisses me off, but I can never be mad at. But perfect? That’s one thing I never want. Maybe just perfect for me. ”

      Love isn’t about the romantic nights or gifts. It isn’t about fireworks going off around you when you have that first, real, kiss. Love isn’t about kissing in the rain and dancing beneath the stars. It isn’t about the big moments or the big surprises. Love is not a fairytale. Love is about still having the butterflies after years. It’s about the second looks and laying in bed wide awake, all night, because you can’t go to sleep mad at each other. It’s about being willing to sacrifice, literally, everything for someone, just because you care so deeply for them. It’s not about buying them gifts, but it’s about leaving them little presents here and there, just to remind them that you are constantly thinking about them. Love is about all of the little things, that add up to really big things. Love is rare and special, but should not be treated as if it will break. Love needs to be thrown around and beat up a little bit, worn in, but not worn down. Love needs to be a comfortable feeling, a place to go when NO ONE else in the world can relate. A safe place, where you know that no matter how ugly you look or how angry you are, you will still be… loved. — [unknown]

      "I read once that the ancient Egyptians had fifty words for sand & the Eskimos had a hundred words for snow. I wish I had a thousand words for love, but all that comes to mind is the way you move against me while you sleep & there are no words for that. "

    Feel Good Words.

      Sometimes we just need to hear these...

      "You want to know what happiness is? It’s waking up in the middle of the night for no reason, shifting under the blankets and feeling the heat of the person next to you. You turn around and see them in their most peaceful, innocent, and vulnerable state. They breathe as though the weight of the world lays on anyone’s shoulder but their own. You smile and kiss their face gently before turning back around and somehow, an involuntary grin forms on your face. Just before you drift off to sleep, you feel an arm wrap around your waist and you know it doesn’t get any better than this."

      "Decide to fall in love with the world & it will swoop you up in its arms & smother you with kisses. You will get all your joy & excitement back a million times over. This is real, this is how it works. Even when you feel hard & cold & angry, you have more love to give away than you could ever believe possible. It is infinite like galaxies. Just give it away. Imagine cartoon hearts in hot pink & vivid red floating out of your chest & popping over the heads of everyone, showering them with hope & blessings & encouragement, & your life will begin to change. It will become this sparkling carousel of magic & wonder."

      “There is an inner beauty about a woman who believes in herself, who knows she is capable of anything she puts her mind to. There is a beauty in the strength and determination of a woman who follows her own path, who isn’t thrown off by obstacles along the way. There is a beauty about a woman whose confidence comes from experiences - who knows she can fall, pick herself up, and keep going.”

      "This is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever; in its place is something that you have left behind...let it be something good."


      "We can let the circumstances of our lives harden us so that we become increasingly resentful and afraid,or we can let them soften us, and make us kinder. We always have the choice." -Dalai Lama

      "Someone you haven't even met yet is wondering what it'd be like to know someone like you."

      “Don't waste your time worrying about boys, boys will come and go. Don't waste your time caring about the people who don't like you, chances are you don't like them either. Don't waste your time worrying if people are talking about you, you affected their lives, they didn’t affect yours. Waste your time with friends, live for the moment, laugh often, be immature, do anything and everything. If it's something you'll regret in the morning, sleep late & when you wake up, laugh about it with your friends, because your friends are what matter most. When you have your friends you have everything.”

      “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking So that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, We unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, Our presence automatically liberates others." -- NELSON MANDELA 1994 INAUGURAL SPEECH


      I hope you have an amazing day.

    Quotes.

      I've received many many emails and many many formspring questions as of late regarding relationships and being afraid to walk away from them, etc etc etc. And as most of you know, I've been there. I was afraid to leave even though I knew I deserved better. No one can make you take the dive. You have to make up your own mind, but I did stumble upon some of these quotes that might be able to help you along the way..

      "Wait for the person who pursues you, the one who will make an ordinary moment seem magical, the kind of person who brings out the best in you and makes you want to be a better person ; wait for the person who will be your best friend , the only person who will drop everything to be with you at any time no matter what the circumstances, for the person who makes you smile like no one else and when they smile you know they need you. Wait for the person who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats and a tee shirt, but appreciates it when you get dressed up for them. And most of all, wait for the person who will put you up at the center of their universe, because that’s where you belong."

      -----------------

      “Don’t feel stupid for missing him, even if he treated you like shit. You still had happy memories, and you’re always going to miss them. Don’t try to replace him, cause you won’t. Just get through each day, and eventually it will get better. I promise. Eventually someone will come into your life, and whether or not you realize it, they are going to be something special to you. So don’t throw yourself at every guy you see, trying to replace him, or at least dull the memories, because you’re only going to make yourself see how hard he is to replace. Someone better will eventually come along.”

      -----------------

      "Because sometimes there is no easy way out. You just have to grin and bear it. Sometimes the only escape route is to go straight through the flames, just brace yourself and bite your lip. Sometimes you have to sever the ties clean off. Because in every relationship there comes a point when the damage is too much and no matter how good it once was, the memories can’t sustain you. You have to save yourself knowing all the while it will hurt like hell. Because you can’t keep giving someone everything if you get nothing in return."

      -----------------

      "There is a big difference in what we long for, what we settle for, and what we are meant for."

      -----------------

      “Fearless is having the courage to say goodbye to someone who only hurts you, even if you can’t breathe without them.” — Taylor Swift

      -----------------

      “You’ll never find the right guy, if you’re still holding onto the wrong one.”

      -----------------

      "If winning is getting up one more time than you fall down. If strength is more than muscle. If time teaches us patience. And knowledge gives us grace. Then we will go forward. Remembering the past. But never yearning for it. There is so much more to look forward to."

      -----------------

      "When there has been so much love and happiness for someone, it is natural to be reluctant to close such a wonderful chapter in our lives, for moving forward is rarely accomplished without considerable grief and sadness. And while our sorrow may be profound, the clouds will clear, and the sun will shine on us again. And in that warm, bright light we will find ourselves facing a glorious future. A future of exciting challenges and infinite possibilities, in which the horizon will stretch out before us, trimmed in the heavenly glow of the sunrise of our tomorrow." — The Prince & Me

      -----------------

      "It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power." - Alan Cohen


      If you KNOW you deserve more than your significant other is giving you, don't be afraid to stand up for yourself. If you're being mistreated, know that that is NOT what a healthy, functional relationship is all about. Keep you chin up, ladies! ♥

      "Sometimes all you can do is not think. Not wonder. Not obsess. Not imagine. Just breathe. breathe in, breathe out. Everything works out in the end, and the more time you spend worrying about it, the longer it takes for things to end perfectly. Just the way they should."
