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..
