Nothing to say.

I cannot bring myself to write an actual blog tonight.  It is just one of those nights where you are in a funk and do not want to do anything.  The only thing that ever helps me in music.  I set up a playlist, lay on my back in my bed, stare at the ceiling, and just listen and focus on the music.  I throw myself into the lyrics.  Somehow it helps me immensely   So i guess here are the songs that I have been listening to tonight.  You can play them.  Or not.  Listen to them now.  Or listen to them when you get in a funk.  I do not care.  It's just if you have spent this much time reading what I wrote you might as well just finish and listen.  You wont be disappointed.  I promise.

Stop worrying. You'll get wrinkles.

Every time you do something there will be someone there to criticize you.  You want to start something?  They say you will fail.  You want to be something?  They say you are too stupid.  You want to do something?  They say you will never accomplish it.  There will always be those people.  The haters.  Well guess what?  Haters gonna hate.  Stop listening to them.  Start listening to yourself, your heart, your soul.  If you believe you can do it, you can accomplish anything.  

Kid Cudi 

Some inspiring words from some inspiring people.  All it takes is a change of attitude to make you see life from a better perspective.

On your mind.

They say when you like someone that person is all you can think about.  You fall asleep dreaming about them.  You wake up and they are the first thing on your mind.  When you find yourself randomly smiling it is because of them.  A single text can make your day better.  Isn't it funny how just one person can do this?  How you can live years without this person but as soon as you meet them you wonder how you have gone this long without knowing them.  It is crazy how this one person has so much control over you.  How every time they hurt you it feels like knives in your skin.  How their touch makes you body go crazy, almost as if electricity is surging through you.  How when your eyes lock with theirs your heart skips a beat.  Whenever they kiss you, you become short of breath.  Every time they give you a compliment you feel as if you are floating on cloud nine.  But above all, do you know what the craziest thing is?  Not once have I ever mentioned a name but I guarantee you already have a person on your mind...

Laughter for your belly.

So despite me feeling like this day is going by semi-fast, I realize that to some this could possibly be one of the longest days ever.  Whether you are in class, at home, or at work, take a few minutes to laugh out loud.  This will surely brighten up your tedious day.  So go ahead, look and smile.  For this day is more then halfway over!

Prove them wrong.

Do you feel like something is dragging you down?  Or that someone is trying to squash your dreams?  Have you been knocked to the ground, and frankly you just do not want to get up?  Well guess what?  You better pick yourself up and brush off all that negativity.  The only person that can keep you from doing what you want is yourself.  People can tell you what they think but it is solely up to you to chose whether to listen or to prove everyone wrong.  So here is what you are going to do.  You are going to just nod when someone gives you their advice.  Do not say anything.  Just listen.  Then walk away and think about it.  Then chose what you wanna do. What would I do?  If anyone was trying to pull me down I would do merely one thing.  Prove them wrong.  I suggest you do the same.

I hope this has inspired you enough to show you that the only person you need to listen to in life decisions is yourself.  You are the only one who knows what's best for you.

Eternity.

They say that once you find 'the one' no one else will ever come close to them.  They are the love of your life, your best friend, your soul mate.  While I have yet to do that, I met two people who have.  To them, love is more then a word.  It is an action that must be showed everyday.  Who are these two people?  They are none other then my parents.  While they bicker all the time, their love greatly overpowers the negatives.  Every time a song comes on my dad likes to tell everyone that it was his and my mom's wedding song.  Doesn't matter the song at all.  He will just get up and sing it to my mother.  I remember when he would wake up every morning and go and make her breakfast so she could eat it on the way to work.  My mother is always the first person to support my father on any project or adventure he wants to do.  Whether it be a project around the house or a new career.  She is his number one supporter.  If they have taught me anything it is to never give up on the one you love.  You must always be there to support them.  You must always have their back.  But most importantly, when things are tough you do not just walk away and throw in the towel.  You stay and you work things out.  You make sure you fix things.  They did just that and they become more in love everyday.  Happy 25th anniversary to you mom and dad.  May you have another 25 years to come.  I hope to one day be as happy as the two of you are.

The two people who have taught 

me almost everything I know about 

life, love, and happily ever after.

Flaws are beautiful.

Imperfection is beauty.  No one is perfect.  Me?  I am far from it.  People in magazines?  FAKE.  Photoshop and makeup can make you look pretty but that does not mean you are pretty inside or even that you are perfect.  Perfection is not just an outward appearance.  It is your personality, your soul, your feelings.  Even that will not make you perfect.  All you can hope is that people accept you for your imperfections; that they look past them and see you for who you are.  So maybe you aren't perfect, but they will see past that and think you are beautiful.  And quite frankly, who wants to be perfect?  That is so boring!  Now me, I have scars that show what I have been through.  They show how tough I had to be.  My ears are slightly big, but hey, they do a pretty good job keeping the hair out of my face.  My teeth are not straight but they do their job.  I may not have a flat stomach or stick thin legs, but who cares?  I don't.  I love food and I am not going to starve to try be perfect.  I am who I am.  Imperfections and all.  So stop trying to be perfect.  Embrace all your imperfections.  People will love you for who you are, gaped teeth, chubbiness, frizzy hair, big eyes, loud voice, tall height and all.  If they do not, I promise someone else will.  Never change yourself to please someone.  Be yourself because that is the best you can be.  Remember, imperfections are what makes you beautiful.

Daily dose.

Here is a little but of mid-day humor to make this mundane Monday a little more manageable.  Yes, I know that is a lot of 'm' words. I did it on purpose.  Now stop focusing on that and look at the pictures.  They will make you smile!

So now you are happy. If you are not, then you don't have a soul.  Or a sense of humor.

One step at a time.

Another week come and gone.  Another struggle thrown in your face.  It seems as if every time you think things are looking up something comes and knocks you down.  Well you know what you gotta do?  You've got to get right back up.  The weekend is almost here.  It's as if the weekend can relinquish all your worries.  So fight these next few days.  Anything you worry about now will work itself out.  Maybe not right away, but eventually.  Don't let your worries ruin the happiness of today because if I have learned one thing in my life it is that worrying does nothing except take away today's hope.

Sorry for making tattoo's prominent in these last two blog posts.  Tattoo's have been on my mind lately, so you're just going to have to bear with me on this.
