Words

"Words have meaning, they carry weight long after you've said them."

Why do words play such a huge roll in our lives?  Words hurt us, elate us, affect us, break our hearts, send us over the edge, upset us, anger us.  We were always taught to think before we speak but that requires such a combination of thinking with your head and letting your heart take a break because when you are using word for a purpose, it is difficult to pump the brakes and think, before you let the words take control.


If you are like me, words can affect you, heavily. You are extremely sensitive and you let them nag at you and get to you and you don't ever forget the ones that affected you deeply, whether in a happy way or a way that hurt you.  You offer words to others that are helpful and meaningful and words that you would like to hear yourself. If you are like me, words are your main language, in love, friendship, relationships and in every other main aspect. Words are important for you to hear. Hearing that you're appreciated, that you are loved, are getting feedback on something you have done is extremely crucial to who you are.

Three or four words can ruin your whole day, or make it everything.

"I love you." Usually comes from a family member or close friend, makes you feel warm & safe.

"I'm proud of you." In my opinion, best words to hear in all aspects.

"You're a bitch." Usually doesn't bother you because it's generally said in a joking manner with close friends, but when you hear it several times, and you are me, you do in fact start to think you are a bitch and it stings.

"I am lost without you." Recently heard this one. Made me sad, made me wish this persons life was in a different place.

"I miss you." Sad & happy feelings come from this one, for me.

Words combined together, in quote form, uplift and inspire us. Words combined together in argument form, wear and tear us down.

Regret, shame, hope, happiness, love and sorrow can come from words. Use them wisely.

Fem

I am no feminist, or at least not an activist for feminism, but I just read the most interesting article.  Someone started a tweet chat where they asked men 16 questions of situations that women experience nearly on the daily- down to texting your friend that you got home safely, because this legitimately is something that women have to do.  It was so interesting to me to see how these things are actually ever present in my everyday life. Being a woman- means you DO have to watch your back, you do have to carry pepper spray, or even a small knife with you.  It means walking on streets late at night that there is a chance for something bad to happen. It means that people can blame your emotions on "that time of the month." THIS is a big one for me.  I am allowed to be upset, cry, or express anything I want via tears or with haste if it is upsetting, and NO it doesn't mean it's that time of the month. It means there is a chance that your ideas at work may be look...

A Little Sap

My biggest fear is that I will forget my memories. Whether they be fond, happy, sad, angry, or confusing memories, I don't want to forget them. Hence the reason one blogs perhaps?  Definitely one of the several reasons why I re-started blogging.   Since October my life has been such a cluster.  A blurred-together-all-in-one-cloud--- life.  I can't differentiate what I did in November with what I did in February.  That is not said negatively.  I have enjoyed every moment, adventure, conversation, dinner, drink, walk, hike, drive, experience and discovery that I have encountered.   Someone said to me the other day, "don't just survive, live."  And then I realized, I am living, even though it may look like I am just surviving sometimes.  Although I look at my life and think, I am 28, I live in a tiny studio apartment with no parking, I have a Los Angeles address, I have no significant other, I don't have 35 different friends to hang ...

Good Morning Everyone...!

So a man just walked into the coffeebean I'm at, which is on Wilshire Blvd in Beverly Hills, and announced just like this, "good morning everyone! I am a piece of shit!" No one paid any attention to him. He was clearly homeless, and probably just hungry and has misplaced his marbles somewhere. He proceeded to say that talking bad about himself out loud will make people want to be his friend because they will feel better about themselves. He was then escorted out by an employee. What I'd like to know is who in the world taught him that notion? How sad to think that putting yourself down will attract people that will be your friend.  Poor guy. It's Friday! And hot damn August is almost over. I don't even know where it went. Down some avenue away to some imaginary land I presume. Ever since April I don't even know what I've been doing. Traveling to Los Angeles a hell of a lot to hang out with people, explore, see stand up, eat, drink and be merry. It...
