lifes not easy

Part of this journey has been to discover how I can fall, bruise myself and move forward without getting hung up.
 Some days life is hard and some days you don't think you got what you deserved. But, there's always tomorrow and the next day and the next day...
Life is all about growing as a person and into the person you were destined to be.

shakespeare

Doubt thou the stars are fire,
Doubt that the sun doth move,
Doubt truth to be a liar,
But never doubt I love.


My favorite oil

"If music be the food of love, play on,
Give me excess of it; that surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken, and so die"



"We that are true lovers run into strange capers; but as all is mortal in nature, so is all nature in love mortal
in folly."

Google latitude

Foursquare and Facebook places... if that wasnt creepy/stalker enough for you now apple has came out with something even more impressive.
Google latitude has been around for over a year but Apple has now let it be used through the iphone. The app shows real time geotracking at any time anywhere, its able to track you on a google map.

Unlike foursquare, where you check in, it is able to track your every move, including your moves inside the mall not just at the mall. There are diff apps for diff types of maps.

I guess for all those worried mothers, stalker girlfriends and friends that you can never get a hold of out there, well it will make there lives a little bit easier!

fairytales

Fairytales make us believe that love is all encompassing, forever forgiving. Sacrifice and love are supposedly linked. So we bow and we break. We give, forgetting to take. And we laugh when we shouldn't, and think that we'll die, when we won't. Fairytales make us believe that we are born only half. So we spend our time looking for the part, that which will make us whole. Succeeding only in reaching the frustration of someone who's spent years working on a puzzle, reaching the last piece, only unable to find it. But that is not what love is. That kind of love will only ever leave you empty. That last piece will never suffice. You be the sun, I' ll be the moon. I am beautiful, with or without you.

140 characters long- Resembles a bird, what could it be? The future of advertising.

TWITTER!
Social media's hottest stratergy and the newest face to advertising.
A lot of people do not know that Twitter as been around and functioning for over four years.
Jack Dorsey, tweeted the first 24 character long tweet that went from communicating with one another to now serving as a human seismograph for tracking, categorizing, and measuring human movement, experiences and responses.

API, the interface implented in the by a softwear program for Twitter is one of the main reasons its so successful. Instead of the Twitter team decising on what people could search came from the extented deveolpment of the actual ecosystem and their specific searches over time.

In those four years Twitter has now seen its biggest use/money maker yet. Earlier this year the launced the option of "promoted tweets" where markerters can pay to get messeaged tweeted in front of other competitors and to an even larger audience.
And has now transformed into a new way to deliever a 24 hour crisis management.

 
Big Brands pay Big Bucks to get there tweets before others. For instance Cocoa Cola and Starbucks are big time players in this new social media market.

Some bussiness offer daily specials, convert events, soups of the day and even cupons with money off for your first visit to their store.

So my suggestion to anyone in the social network, social media, p.r, advertising/marketing, just about any bussiness, bored in class, aspiring college student looking for interns/jobs/ideas or even in the modern world today. Get on the band wagon and "Tweet."

EAT PRAY LOVE

People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life.

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 mates purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life, then introduce you to your spiritual master..."
Elizabeth Gilbert (Eat, Pray, Love)

I watched Eat, Pray, Love about two weeks ago, not only did I love it because Julia was in it but IT WAS SUCH AN INSPIRATIONAL MOVIE! I guess it just hit all the buttons I needed attention to at the time.
Every girl these days is so set on having a boyfriend, finding your husband at a young age, loving your high school sweet heart and having that wraparound porch, white picket fence and hydrangea’s. Well, life doesn’t and most of the time never works out that way. If you it does your lucky, or your living a lie.

This movie reassured me on my outlook on relationships right now; you really don’t need a man to make you happy. YOU MAKE YOU HAPPY! YOU KNOW WHAT YOU WANT!

Yes, you do need a man to break your heart, humiliate you, take you back, look at your qualities and all you have to offer and say no thank you, before you actually realize what an amazing person you are or you possibly can be once you get off the pity party wagon and become independent.

Being lonely sucks, but it helps you just to sit and be with yourself. To stand to be with yourself in peace for more than an hour is a lot harder than you think or at least for me, maybe I’m crazy.

Happy is an emotion not a state of being, so when people say they are un-happy, well do something about it, it doesn’t take THAT much to alter an emotion.

Sometimes you have to be desperate and out of control to find the right answers.
Sometimes its glass of pinot noir or sometimes its pouring yourself into your work. Once you get past the avoidance that it’s okay to be alone, things are actually pleasant.

As crazy as it seems, today I was walking down the street to class, and just caught myself smiling out of control. Not because someone sent me a sweet nothing, not because anything or anyone just because of me and my living life.


"But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life.”

Never let a man hold you back but NEVER let yourself hold you back from anything short of living your best life.

Me

Dear me,

I need to be my other self now..
A smile upon a face is what I want to see.
Peace. Love. Grace.
Please let me be.

Love,
me






when all else fails..
faith saves.

notebooks?

The hurt began to fade& it was easier to just let go. At least I thought it was.But in every boy I met in the next few years, I found myself looking for you,& when the feelings got too strong I'd write you another letter. But I never sent them, in fear of what I might find. By then, you'd gone on with your life & I didn't want to think about you loving someone else. I wanted to remember us like we were that summer. I didn't want to ever forget that
- Nicholas Sparks



..gotta love the sappy movies that let you pitty yourself for atleast 90mins.
Then you gotta bounce right back.
Lifes rubber
your glue
whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you..

Ctrl+Alt+Delete

But there is no Ctrl+Alt+Delete button for any aspect of life. We can only find the blessings in every difficulty. We can only realize that a fail isn’t really a failure if we learn from the experience////

typsy gypsy

And I won't back down
'Cause life's already bit me
And I won't cry
I'm too young to die
If you're gonna quit me
'Cause I'm a gypsy


Life would be so much easier as a gypsy.
Is it possible these days, give up everything and just be a gypsy ladddiiiiiiyeee???
I might like to try.

I love..

The red ring around the moon that happens once a month
Julia Roberts hair
The smell of lavendar
My cowboy boots.
jimi hendrix solos
Sugar cookie scented candles.
Having turkey bacon for dinner.
The sound of rain.& stoli cuddling w me
Words and the power they have to create.
Blowing strangers minds
ryan adams
A solid Bloddy Mary
The musty smell of library books.

What do you love?

Favorite quote ever

"Be soft..dont let the world make you hard...
dont let the pain make you hate...
dont let the bitterness steal
your sweetness...live this way

take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place.."

how to

how to trust without having doubts.
how to deal without feeling betrayed.
how to understand without any given reason.

don't push more than where i am today..
i can see an ending.

to drop you and everything else,
with nothing more in me to feel...
you won't be worth it by then.

feltyouinmylegsbeforeievermetyou

You can love your friends. You can love your family. You can even love every stray dog or stray drummer that crosses your path. However, you have to learn how to love yourself, like yourself, and put yourself first before you will ever find the healthy, loving, and lasting relationship that you’ve been looking for....

people always leave.

-- You know I've got this theory, there are two kinds of people in the world. There are lyric people and music people. You know, the lyrics people tend to be analytical. You know, all about the meaning of the song. They're the ones you see with the CD insert out like 5 minutes after buying it, pouring over the lyrics, interpriting the hell out of everything. Um, then theres the music people, like Brooke. Who could care less for the lyrics as long as its just got like a good beat and you could dance to it. I dont know, somtimes it might be easier to be a music girl and not a lyric girl. But since Im not, let me just say this. Sometimes things find you when you need them to find you, I believe that. And for me its usually song lyrics

And I loved him, jesus how I loved him. It wasnt love of course, even I can see now that it was infatuation, but at the time it near enough killed me. Its so passionate, so intense, so painful, that even years afterward you still feel the hurt when you hear their name.
- Straight Talking by Jane Green




Today was busy... but today was a chance to start over :)

little pieces fo your soul will finally come back

I understand feeling as small and as insignificant as humanly possible. And how it can actually 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 how many glasses of chardonnay 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 have 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 little pieces of your soul will finally come back. And all that fuzzy stuff, those years of your life that you wasted, that will eventually begin to fade....
