where do i go from here?

You know how when you reach such a great point in your life, and everything is going just the way you always hoped it would and then all of a sudden a heavy calm and mellow feeling creeps up on you? Kind of how a grayish storm cloud suddenly fills the bright blue skies of your sunny morning. Hmm that’s kind of the feeling that I have right now. I mean you wouldn’t believe how many great things have been happening to me ever since I stepped out of the DFW Airport and onto the Texas soil; well cement in my case, but you get what im saying. The thing is though…that no matter how many wonderful things have been happening to me, I still feel like something isn’t quite as it should be. Its almost as if things are too perfect, or maybe its just because I finally have everything in my life the way that I wanted it for sooo long…but is that really the case? Is this it? I mean whats next? Sometimes I wonder if this is the “BIG change” that I tlked about a few years ago…if this is what I was waiting for, or if theres something else. Texas has really changed my paradigms on many things, and has really kept me thinking. I know coming here was a good thing for me, and I know all this amazing stuff that has been happening to me was all in God’s hands, but sometimes idk I just wonder why now? Why not a few years ago, or why not a few more years from now?? What am I suppose to do with all that has happened to me so far? Im not really sure what my next step will be. I know what I had planned, and what I thought I was going to do, but now I have a totally different mindset, and im thinking about doing things and hoping for things that aren’t familiar with who I am. If that doesn’t make sense, im basically saying that for the past month or so that ive been in Texas, the things that I used to want in life, and that I used to desire have become dead to me. Its like ive totally switched who I was and have become this whole other person. There are still things that I desire, that I always have, but theres also so many new things and new plans that have occupied my mind. Maybe its because after all these years of waiting for the stuff that I basically had handed to me when I got to Texas, I realized that its not where I wanna be five years from now. I love how my life is right now, but I also know that I cant keep doing life like this for much longer. I long for the change that I don’t know...the change that I never knew, because I was so caught up in the change that im experiencing right now. This is the change that I thought would be a good place to stop at and dwell in, but for some reason no matter how happy I am dwelling in this change, im also ready to experience another change. I want to take advantage of all these new ideas that I have, because I know they have been on my mind for a reason, but I just don’t know what comes next. I don’t know how I should go about turning these thoughts and ideas into something, and I don’t know if I am ready to leave something so wonderful and step into something else that could totally be the wrong thing and then put me back in a place that I was a year or so ago.

The Independent Woman

Why is it that we as woman think we need men in our lives to make us into something that we can easily become on our own? Now before you get all upset and complain that that isn’t true. Think about it. We always make a big deal out of nothing. When a man says he is going to call us in a little while and that little while turns into a few hours or so, we start thinking about the possibility that he’s either losing interest or out hanging around other women or whatever. And no matter how much we claim or say that we don’t need a man in our lives and that we can be independent, the truth is we can’t. Every time a man does something that is not to our liking. We over analyze the situation. We always come up with the worst answers to the problem when in reality, that wasn’t always the case. When we rid of one relationship with a man we say that we’re going to take some time to just be by ourselves and focus on what we want, and that we don’t need a man right now. But after all that being said why is it that the majority of us have to jump right back into a relationship and totally forget about taking the time that we claimed we needed. As soon as another good man comes along we jump at the opportunity because we are afraid that there are not many good guys left and that we have to get them while we can. I know I can’t speak for all women, because this is not the case for us all, but there are many out there that struggle with the whole I need a man thing. It is hard for us to go on and live our day to day lives without taking just a few moments to think about or daydream of having a guy to walk us to our car, or pull out our chair, or even tell us that he loves us. Everyone wants those things, but it’s okay to be that independent woman that we here about in all those songs. And read about in the magazines or wherever. Sometimes it would be nice to just for once be able to focus completely and only on us. Imagine how much stress and questioning you could and would avoid if you didn’t have to worry about what your man was out doing, and why he hasn’t called you yet today, or even why he seems distant this weekend. Men are nice to have there for you, and once you found a good one you should hold tight to him, but you don’t have to always have a man. Don’t feel like once you get out of one relationship that you have to jump right back into another, because you don’t. You can take a year or so to get yourself back on track, and to explore and find out a little more about yourself and what you really want in a guy and in a relationship. You can take that time to do something you always wanted to do but never had time for, and you can also enjoy the perks of being single again and hanging with your girls. You are never too old to have fun and to live your lives so don’t feel like you have to meet Mr. Right between a certain age-range. Enjoy where you are in life and don’t hurry to find that special guy or feel like they’re all being taken away because one day when you least expect it Mr. Right is going to come walking around the corner and sweep you off your feet, and if you had rushed from one relationship to another than you might have missed that wonderful chance meeting, so why don’t we women just focus on being miss independent, and let the chips fall where they may, and let fate have its way with us.

"different" is not always a bad thing...

They say everything happens for a reason right? Well why is it that some of the things we go through in life seem like such a waste of our time and by the end they all appear to be very pathetic? This whole second series of my life has put me through some serious ups and downs. I’ve basically almost been through it all. You couldn’t imagine. I have felt things and been through things that no teenage girl should have to go through, but crazy enough I’m thankful for it all. Even though there were many times when I wanted to just die or move a million miles away, I’m actually glad that I was able to go through each of those scenarios. They taught me things believe it or not. Sometimes they can all just seem like minor setbacks, which in reality they are, but if we didn’t have those setbacks then we wouldn’t be able to move forward. I have had a lot of people let me down throughout my eighteen years of life but in the end I always seem to come out on top, and on my caller id are the people that matter the most to me and never let me down no matter how much we’ve gone through. When you find people like that in your life, you need to make sure that you always keep them first. You need to hold on tight to them because you never know what life is going to throw at you, and you’re going to need someone there to listen who knows you, and knows your past. I feel very liberated these days. I’m in such a great place in my life. There are so many new things in the works for me. I am trying to not let myself fall back into habit, meaning; I want to be different. I like how I feel and how I think these days. Of course we are always going to have problems and little situations that make you want to just slump over and sleep the next few weeks, but over these past few days I’ve learned different ways of handling those situations. I no longer use the same old tactics that I did before to resolve those problems. By changing how I do things, it makes me feel like I actually learned something from my past, and that I am now ready to move on…I am ready to be different.

some fashion can be timeless.

When starting a new chapter in your life it’s important to also start one in your closet. You don’t want to go through a new stage in life wearing the old you because that person has left…well to some extent. Change is a good thing and we should always be willing to accept it and embrace it. Same with shopping!!! You don’t want to break your bank and there are some items that you could possibly recycle but you also want to show off a new you…one who doesn’t buy a cute pair of bellbottoms in high school and then decides to wear them twenty years later to a dentist appointment. Keep the classics like the little black dress, things that will never go out of style. Be smart when change comes and think about all the aspects that go along with it.

its me again..

okay so today was very successful, and i feel very accomplished. my family is moving to Texas this summer, and my dad has been there since june 7th. he got a new job out there and had to leave the day of my graduation (after the ceremony) to be in Texas in time for his first day at work. me and my mom are sooooo ready to get down there. my grandparents are moving with us, but they dont seem to be in such a rush lol. my older brother (only brother, or sibling for tht matter) moved out today and is staying with some friends until he goes back to school in the fall in chicago. man things are changing sooo much and im still trying to figure out how prepared i am for all of this. usually changes like these would happen over a few years but mine was all in just a few months. i cant wait to get to Texas. im ready to start fresh and find new opportunity. my real goal is to get through the rest of this year so i can get to NY in january and hopefully find myself working for a successful fashion designer or even working my way up to being the head of the label. sigh, i have so much to say and so many dreams and goals that i want to fulfill and accomplish. im signing off for now, but speak to you later all you bloggers out there ( :
