I know the people I work with hold this misconception about me that I’m a spoiled brat. I’m one of the youngest workers, and everyone is aware that I still live w/ mommy & daddy, and that they bought me a brand new car, and pay for my college…
What they don’t know is that I pay for my own car insurance, my own monthly car payments, my own gas, my own cell phone bill,...

Attended concerts of my two most favorites artists since high school (Jesse Barrera and Colbie Caillat)
Fought and escaped a DUI conviction
Turned 21, and had three, wild celebrations. One including a surprise party :D
Went to Vegas TWICE— first with my best friends who have also become my family. Second time was with a nice boy who taught me a lot, and hopefully remains a friend...

The Way I See It #023
I know we are all scared of letting our guard down for the consequences of it, and there certainly can be consequences. No matter how hard we work at learning to love our own self, some fear still remains. We all feel incapable of being loved and revealing who we truly are 200% because we are all taught to never be jealous or snooty, so it feels inhuman to actually be human, as if being yourself...
All the hard times we’ve been through & all the brief moments of doubt are just so little compared to the greater times yet to come.
I find the light in you.

Humble yourself; never victimize yourself. Admit to your mistakes before they admit you.

The Way I See It #021
“The only thing you need to change is the willingness to want to change.”
I have a very active mind. I take what I see, what I hear, and what I feel everyday, roll it up into a ball, and smear its lessons upon my day. The next day, I do the very same thing. Rinse and repeat. I really immerse myself in pain before I overcome it, and even take the time to focus on the pain...
I have these moments that just kind of pulse throughout the day where I will find myself getting mildly upset with myself. I’ll feel this twinge of frustration over how little my problems are… and it’s not the problems itself that make me upset, but just how little they are and how irrelevant they will eventually be a year from now. I unintentionally pause my attention on people...
Daily motive:
Press your lips together
Hold your tongue
Chin up
Pick up your feet
Hold in your dignity
Think good thoughts
Be the bigger person
It’s a self-battle every morning, but it’s the daily motive.
Kill ‘em w/ kindness. It’s the only way.

"Next time, I'll be braver."
I know it may sound ridiculously ridiculous, but I am so proud of myself. I never thought I would reach this feeling as fast as I did. In one day, I was let down and blown off. And in that same day, I picked myself up without self-pity. Didn’t run back or shell out my dignity. I made a bee-line out of all that’s undeserving.
I showed an obvious sign of weakness, and it backfired. I...

We meet those like us so they can become our friend. We meet those different from us so they can teach us something new. :)

My intention was never to hurt you,
only to set you free.
The Way I See It #018
Funny when you are so close to getting something you want so bad, you start to create this inkling of hope in the back of your head that wishes otherwise. So you bandaid yourself by pulling these crazy thoughts out of thin air thinking that maybe, just maybe, you will wake up the next day feeling different. That maybe God has a better plan and will create some discrepency in yours because you...

Second thoughts.
Why are they called “second thoughts”? Is it because they are thoughts apart from your original thoughts; therefore, they come second? Or could it be because they are brief, short-lived thoughts; quick flashes of doubt? In other words, they’re only supposed to last a second?
Because if you count the number of times that this thought uninvitedly arose in my head, it...

I don’t need to find love in anyone else when I have all the love I need within myself.
Admittedly, I used to be a little self-pitiful for all the shit I put myself through. For breaking the rules of “things I would never do”, and for even thinking that minimizing my expectations was the only way out…
It is so easy to take care of others, to change others, to understand others; the real...

“We’re just not meant to be.”
“You really mean that?”
“I guess so. Why is that so shocking?” My best friend Vanessa is one of the rare souls on this earth that, not only knows everything that goes on in my life, but always manages to understand fully, even with little to no explanation. This is why I was a little puzzled as to why she was taken aback by...
