Always A Step Ahead

in

When in a relationship, I think about the future from the very beginning. A relationship seems senseless if there is no potential for a family, or there isn’t any type of growth. Every relationship should help you learn something new, should make things clearer, should help you progress and get closer to your goals. But if all it does is fill your tummy and get you a few material things, then what’s the point? After investing time, energy, and money, you should have more than just a good time.

You should leave the relationship better than when you entered it.

I’m still young and I don’t see myself settling down and having a family anytime soon, but I’d like to think whatever situation I’m in now has the potential to fit into my life a few years from now.

Wants Vs. Needs

in

Looking back, many things I wanted were bad for me. They would have caused me plenty of heartache, stress, and unnecessary drama. Life has a way of introducing me to things I need that I may not want at the moment, but will eventually grow to love and appreciate. I’m not only talking about relationships but also circumstances I’ve been presented with. This realization is forcing me to make decisions more purposely.

My wants are higher than my needs on my priority list and that needs to change immediately.

Relationships they often remind me that I’m not afraid of heights or falling but I’m scared to death of everything that’s gonna happen the very moment that my body hits the ground. I’m clumsy, yesterday I tripped over my self esteem I landed on my pride and it shattered like an iphone with a broke face now I can’t even tell who’s trying to give me a compliment. See, I’ve never been in the military, but I have this purple heart I got it from beating myself up over things I can’t fix. I know this sounds weird but sometimes I wonder what my bed sheets say about me when I’m not around. I wonder what the curtains would do if they found out about all the things that I’ve done behind their backs. I’ve got a hamper that’s overflowing with really, really loud mistakes and a graveyard in my closet. I’m afraid that if I let you see my skeletons you’ll grind my bones into powder and get high off my fault lines.

Christmas

in

Spent Christmas Eve with my aunt, 5 cousins, 2 brothers, parents, grandma, and 4 family friends. There was amazing food, great music, tons of dancing, jokes, and thanks to ME, a bunch of pictures of the entire event. It felt great to be with the family, and just have positive thoughts fill the air.

Also today we ALL went to see the Rockefeller Tree, and St. Patrick’s Cathedral!

Must say it was a very positive two days. Now I’m ready to finish off the year with a bang. Smiles all around!

I'm Clearly a Microwave Girl

Today my mom said we need to go to the market place to get some seasoning. So I’m thinking OK she’s going to grab a few spices. We get there, and she starts picking vegetables, so my first thought is Darnit mom, we’re on a mission! We came here for one thing only, stop deviating from the plan! After a while I see she gets on line to pay, and I think man she’s getting old, already forgot what she came here for. So I gave her a friendly reminder that she still hasn’t gotten the seasoning, and she looks at me puzzled and says..

Mom: “Honey this IS the seasoning…got my peppers, tomatoes, the greens, what did you think I was getting?”

Me: Like, powder…you know Adobo, or Sopita -_-

She busted out laughing, and gave me a genuine look of pity…

I need to learn how to cook ASAP!

Be sure to “full view” each page because (at least on my computer) the black in some of the pages is just GONE. Anyway, my design final. A comic attempting to address society’s failure of telling young boys (and girls too sometimes) that abuse/violence/bullying is NOT an appropriate way to show affection…

REBLOGGING AGAIN because I figured out what was up with the colors  uhghhsdlkf

This is so powerful.
