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.

Because, New York Part 2

That right there is my very first glimpse of the city from my cab! At this point, as you can imagine.  I am screaming.  I don't care that I got an hour of sleep, and it wasn't even REM cycle sleep, it was sitting up, in an airplane, sleep.  NO BUENO.  But that could not take away from how gleeful I was feeling.  If my cab driver spoke more english I would have been very obnoxious and asked a billion questions, instead I texted my friend, who was at our hotel, getting ready to go to work as he was there for work until Friday.  I am sure he was laughing at my excited texts as he has been to New York several, yes SEVERAL times.  Ahh, this city could never get old though.  Much like LA, many areas, towns and places to explore and see.  I had an agenda, I knew exactly where I wanted to go and what I wanted to see.  I just had no idea where anything was but I am just fine heading out and seeing and doing.  Unlike LA, you ...

A Letter to You

Dear                      , This is a letter to whomever it concerns.  It is a letter to my younger self, to my future self, to my friends, to my family, to the people that I adore with all my heart, to the people that I want to see the light, to the people that have come and gone, to anyone that has the patience to put up with my ADD writing. Almost 3 decades in this world and what have I learned?  How does one even start this. Boys are annoying when you're 16, they're still annoying when you're 28, however you can definitely tolerate their behavior with some experience under your belt. "Hooking-up", has several meanings. If you have morals, stick with them but cut loose from time-to-time.   If you want to be happy, you have to do what will make you happy.  If that means giving up some HUGE THINGS, then that means giving up some huge things. If you love someone, be with them. Be brave.  All it...

Currently- Edition 2

Currently-Edition 2 Two weeks later, I have been 31 for 14 days, I have had the WORST cold for almost 1 week, I went to North Carolina and back and it is NOVEMBER 1st!!! WOOHOO! You know what this means...Fall is in FULL SWING (officially we 'fall back' in a few days), time to break out the boots, scarves, coats, flannels.  Put away the Halloween decor and break out the in-between Halloween and Christmas decor (which for me is one in the same...I put out "winter" decor, I'll do my tree a little later on.  And drinking hot drinks, and quite possibly attempting to add a Christmas playlist into your Pandora shuffle just for a light preview.  So now, day 1 of November, here are the 'currently's' happening! Drinking My body is begging me to drink water, water and more water.  But on the first day of November, I splurged on a fancy (free thanks to earned rewards!) Starbucks drink, it was my go-to in college, Grande Soy White Chocolate Peppermint M...
