As you grow, you learn

Alot of my loved ones are going through a tough time with their personal relationships. Being in a relationship is one that I still do not understand. I find them complicated and difficult to maintain. Seriously, my relationship with myself is hard enough already.


Here is a quote I find to be sort of uplifting, yet true. Life - just accept it.


As you grow, you learn- Anonymous


When the broken hearts are mended and the many tears are dried, u learn.  When you're over the old boyfriend and u realize you can live without your first love, u learn.  You see that the world doesn't end just b/c u think it will, and that sometimes growing up means letting go.  You learn what real love is, and u begin to see that one friend who really cares about u is better than a hundred friends who don't.  You learn that u can be strong, take each day step-by-step, and survive every sad moment.  So feel the pain and cry the tears, go out and experience life.  But when you're at the end of your rope, and you're ready to jump off the ledge, remember that the heartache fades, pain subsides, and though life seems at times too tough to handle, it's also too precious a gift to waste.  Keep on livin, never give up, and remember: AS you grow you learn.

I have never been quite the socialist to voluntarily participate in any group activities, but I'm grateful to have opened up. I decided to have lunch with Atx Ladies who Lunch along with my friends Rose and Laura. It was one of my great experiences yet. I shared a (crowded) table with lovely/ talented /ambitious /outgoing designers, artists, fashionistas, and bloggers. I  feel motivated and inspired. Thanks ladies.  I am anticipating next week's lunch.

So this is it?

 So this is the feeling. The feeling that people hope to feel and share in their lifetime. The feeling that makes people do crazy things, feel crazy things, and just turn plain insane. I guess what human nature has created is inevitable-- even for people like me.

This could've been something fun, amazing and beautiful. But I know it's not mine to keep.

Maybe next lifetime.

July, you baby lovin month you

Is it me or is July the baby-poppin month?

Happy 21st Birthday to my baby sister on July 11 and to my wonderful father on July 13.

Thanks for all the headaches, lectures, and good times.

Perfection at its absolute best

Perfection [per-fek-shuhn] noun: a quality, trait, or feature of the highest degree of excellence.

I'm sure everyone in their lifetime has had a celebrity "crush" once in a while whether it's for their talent, fame, reputation, philanthropy work, or their down right good looks. Cristiano has been mine ever since I saw him play for Manchester United years ago. Let's all admit that his soccer skills are the absolute best of the best. I have not seen any type of footwork as great as his. He will become a legend.  I doubt any later generation soccer players can do what he does.  Did I mention how good looking he is? Every physical feature is perfect! I'm a sucker for great smiles and a deep voice, and he sure has me hooked. Ok, I'm going to stop before I start acting like a silly twelve year old girl going crazy for Justin Beiber.
