It's a rainy and gloomy day; undoubtedly more people than not are in their "thinking" and pensive mood. Old memories arise, old songs and old movies arise, and immediately, old emotions come rushing. But that's all old; it's in the past. The only thing that brings the past to the present is our thoughts-- those things don't exist anymore but are merely present in our thoughts. What's so good about the past, we ask? Well, in fact, it’s a luxury we have. When we flip through old memories we get to rewrite the past; we are allowed to remember the past for what we want to remember it. We can think back on a relationship and remember it for its sweetness and love; our memories can completely eradicate the yelling and unhappiness we once felt and we can remember the relationship for what we wanted it to be. Sometimes its not such a gift—sometimes our minds only remember the bad, the unhappiness we felt, the anxiety tied to that relationship and it hurts. Our thoughts can bring life to the pain we once felt, when we would actually prefer that stay in the past. Questions come pouring, we starting missing the good, and regretting the old. Sometimes I wonder how it is that, that other person and I, who shared the same two-month experience, could remember it so differently-- how our thoughts can create such distinct memories for us and carry us through life having rewritten the past to our preference. At the end of the day, those are the memories we hold on to, and that’s the reality we make of it. At the end of the rainy day, there’s a rainbow that comes out with the luxury of forgetting the past, as we delve into re-runs of our favorite old-school episodes.

Song of the Day:
[Sorry - Buckcherry]
"Its impossible" said pride. "Its risky" said experience. "Its pointless" said reason. "Give it a try" whispered the heart."
"Power is being told you are not loved, & not being destroyed by it."
"I'm here. I love you. I don't care if you need to stay up crying all night long, I will stay with you. There's nothing you can ever do to lose my love. I will protect you until you die, and after your death I will still protect you. I am stronger than depression and I am braver than loneliness and nothing will ever exhaust me."

Manic Monday
In the midst of a much needed, uplifting talk with a real and amazing friend, I was introduced to "Eat, Pray, Love" and inspired to read it. I haven't gotten the book yet, but in the mean time I've been reading random quotes by Elizabeth Gilbert (author of Eat, Pray, Love) and this one really resonates with me.
“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 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 Gilbet, Eat, Pray, Love

Dear Hope,
Two years has lapsed since you told me that you didn't feel the same about me anymore. Two years since you told me you wanted to build boundaries between us. Two years feels like not a minute has gone by, it feels like time stopped but I kept living, and I never really heard those feelings.
Two years later, today, I woke up and realized that time actually does not stand still and that I've been living a life that didn't recognize your lack of love in hopes that it never wavered. I couldn't consume that boundaries meant halting a series of anticipated daily rituals-- morning texts, late night calls, slip-ins of sexual remarks, etc.. I couldn't understand playing such a different role in your life-- if at that point I even had one.
Today, I look at the canvas of our lives with clarity. I realize that we are now painting two completely different portraits in far distanced galleries with altered intentions. I realize the fight I've had in me all these years must be redirected in fighting for myself, in hope to find the love I have for myself. I have to fight the fear of not being in your life, the fear of moving on and starting over, the fear of never being capable of feeling emotions that run so deep for another soul again, and the fear of exploring myself outside of who I grew to be with you. I have to fight the desire to run back in your arms, the desire to cry on your shoulder, the need for you to bring my chaotic world to a calming peace, and the habit of dialing your number when any heart-pounding, heart-shattering, life-altering event occurs in my life.
Today, I grasp the concept of time and recognize each day will be a step towards the light. I have faith that I will get through this and on this journey I will learn all sorts of things about myself. I won't lie, in the back of my mind, at the bottom of my heart, I want to be able to let go in hopes that one day you will realize that you want to fight for me, and that having faith in our love is enough. But all that hope does is confuse my clarity, and then I remember, this new portrait is about hopes and faith and my dreams, only about me-- apart from you, apart from "us" and as scary as that sounds; it is okay, it will be okay.
Today, I know that I love you, and that I will always love you, but today I am letting go just a little more. I don't know how you feel today, but I have faith that whatever you may be feeling, and whatever I'm feeling is something that the both of us can handle. With faith. With belief. With dreams. With Hope.
Love always and forever,
Love today,
Faith

[more for the video than the song itself ;) ]
"When a lot of things start going wrong all at once, it is to protect something big and lovely that is trying to get itself born- and this something needs for you to be distracted so that it can be born as perfectly as possible."
"And when at last you find someone to whom you feel you can pour your soul, you stop in shock at the words you utter. They are so rusty, so ugly, so meaningless and feeble from being kept in the same small cramped dark inside you for so long, but that someone finds a way to make sense of it all and you find a way to hold on."
....... is it really already No-Shave November again?!

Acceptance.
Thats's it! That's the word of the day. Acceptance.
According to Wikipedia: "In human psychology -- a person's assent to the reality of a situation, recognizing a process or condition, often a negative or uncomfortable situation, without attempting to change it, protest, or exit."
Yes, it seems so simple-- easily defined by Wikipedia and so loosely thrown around. As many peple say, "I accept that we can't be together but.." followed by a reason proving that they don't agree with the higher power's plans-- or do they even believe in a higher power?
But do we all actually understand the meaning of acceptance, and more importantly do we actually accept situations in their entirety? Or do we just yearn to accept our surroundings and the situations we are put into. Or is it that we think that repetitively saying that we accept something, will in fact bring us to the acceptance and peace with a situation-- without any other work to accompany that mere montra, "I accept..., I am at peace with..."
Just something to think about..
And as always...

I can't believe it’s been about a month since
I've written. Sure I've missed it, and it has felt like a few weeks, but a
month? Well, time does have a way of catching up with us- with our busy
lives.
Lately I have come across a handful of articles
about being a "20-something" year old. I don't know if my eye has
been on it since I will be 20 years old on Monday, the 15th, or if there has
been an influx of people writing about this unique time in our lives. So, it
brought me to write my own thoughts- how to be a 20-something year old, why
being in your 20s is amazing, what I've learned until now in these 20 years and
how this transition, above all others, is an overwhelming change in our
lives.
It’s a time in our lives when we learn to work
hard and in all honesty player harder.
It’s a time in our lives where we get to carve
out the life we want for ourselves.
I’ve learned that it’s a time in our lives where
we actually experience betrayal, addiction, dishonesty, and all the forms of
behavior that hurt you.
It’s a time in our lives when we can work at a
coffee shop and still feel hopeful about our careers in PR, medicine, whatever.
It’s a time in our lives where we can meet our
soul mate and fall deeply in love, but also a time in our lives where we can date
someone we know we’ll never be able to love.
I’ve learned it’s a time in our lives where we
get to make a mark on the world. Make a stain that we existed and our youthful
20s were amazing—or just make something.
It’s a transition from adolescence and teenage
drama, into a decade where we enter and exit college, enter the real world
where excuses of “I’m too hung over to come in to work today” just don’t cut it
anymore, a time in our lives where we start with a lot of friends and leave
with a few good ones, and a time in our lives where we go from acting like children to thinking of having our own children.
It’s a liberating time in our lives. We are
free.
It’s a time in our lives where we think we know
everything, but in fact, we don’t even know ourselves. We feel stuck, but we
aren’t. We’re moving forward. We are changing. We are moving to different
cities, and experiencing different countries and trying things we never knew
existed before our 20s.
It’s the time in our lives that will be remember
for the nights we spent hours putting make up on, changing three million times,
waking up with 5AM hangovers, smoking out our apartment window, cramming for
midterms, and taking Adderall to make that paper deadline. It’s a time we will
miss, and a time of luxury. It’s time where all these silly nights will be
completely justified because “we were 20.”
“You should love every single moment of this hot
mess of a decade. Chances are you’ll miss it before you even get to say I’m
30.” –Ryan O’Connell
And as always....

Tuesday, September 11, 2012
I haven't been feeling the inspiration to write lately and that's why I've been able to successfully procrastinate blogging. I have found a way to rewrite to-do lists incessantly, but haven't be able to write about love, sex, fashion, life or anything with substantial meaning in my life or the world.
Recently, I have done some reflection-- self reflection and a grand, more vague reflection of my life and its changes and happenings in the last year. I've realized that I've experienced some great, exhilarating, life-changing, heart warming, heart wrenching moments -- each tied with its own life lesson.
Today is about my realizations, lessons and beliefs as of right now.
Although I never personally believed that we can fall in love at first sight, I believed it was a possible phenomena for others.. I realized that I don't believe in love at first sight--for anyone anymore. I realized that what I do believe is that very seldom in your life, if you're lucky, you meet someone who is exactly right for you. Not because he was perfect or because you were but because your flaws together, combined to allow two separate individuals to fall off an edge into a sea of emotion together.
I realized the best medicine for the soul.. along with love, happiness, and companionship is acceptance. Especially for those who pace back and forth thinking "what should I do"-- it is sometimes relieving to give in to the idea that the only thing to do, is to ACCEPT that there is nothing you can do other than that. To truly accept that you are where you are supposed to be and everything "happening to you" is only what you're supposed to be living through. --Yes, you're supposed to accept that you can't financially afford the Ivy League and you must settle for a private university instead. Yes, you are supposed to endure and accept that the person you love, only once loved you and has moved on now. Yes, with acceptance, you are supposed to come to terms and be at peace with the fact that your best friend pursued an intimate and romantic relationship with your most recent "man-of-choice." And you are supposed to do this with grace, and patience allowing the energy of the world to put things in the right place for you.
I realized that nobody actually cares. Nobody actually gives you're life a second thought unless there is something in it for themselves, which naturally means that they are just caring for themselves. That doesn't mean you grow resentful of the world or stop genuinely caring for others-- it just means that you have to care for yourself first and rely on others second-- or third.
I realized that although most words aren't permanent and you can take them back, actions are more concrete and they typically can't be forgiven. They can never be re-explained with the same detail, precision and accuracy as when and how they actually occurred, and the apology that follows the pain doesn't typically heal you-- again, that's where the acceptance heals you-- well acceptance and time.
I realized that even though we meet people and change their lives during a period of eight years, and even though we believe we mattered for a certain period of time, it all becomes blurry. Yes, the moments and the memories still exist--vaguely, but the words and feelings become blurry-- which makes it a lot easier for someone else to step right in, and refine those memories in a whole new light. So I've realized that we can't merely exist and THINK we are changing people's lives, we need to actually change our own lives in that process and hold on to what we've done for ourselves not for others.
Quote of the Day:
"We all have the potential to fall in love a thousand times in our lifetime. It’s easy. The first girl I ever loved was someone I knew in sixth grade. Her name was Missy; we talked about horses. The last girl I love will be someone I haven’t even met yet, probably. They all count. But there are certain people you love who do something else; they define how you classify what love is supposed to feel like. These are the most important people in your life, and you’ll meet maybe four or five of these people over the span of 80 years. But there’s still one more tier to all this; there is always one person you love who becomes that definition. It usually happens retrospectively, but it happens eventually. This is the person who unknowingly sets the template for what you will always love about other people, even if some of these loveable qualities are self-destructive and unreasonable. The person who defines your understanding of love is not inherently different than anyone else, and they’re often just the person you happen to meet the first time you really, really, want to love someone. But that person still wins. They win, and you lose. Because for the rest of your life, they will control how you feel about everyone else.

They always try to put your troubles in perspective for you.. they ask, "Will this matter in 5 years?"
Sure, that's a great way to realize that your issues and the drama that comes with them aren't actually the end of the world-- but does that negate the fact that what ever is happening is causing your heart to ache?

[All today needs is the "Quote of the Day"... honestly.]
"I love unmade beds. I love when people are drunk and crying and cannot be anything but honest in that moment. I love the look in people's eyes when they realize they're in love. I love the way people look when they first wake up and they've forgotten their surroundings. I love the gasp people take when their favorite character dies. I love when people close their eyes and drift somewhere in the clouds. I fall in love with people and their honest moments all the time. I fall in love with their breakdowns and their smeared makeup and their daydreams. Honesty is just too beautiful to ever put into words."
[Okay fine, maybe I wasn't honest enough.. it needs a few clips from So You Think You Can Dance]

One of the best feelings aside from being in love and finding goodness is the world is when someone not only meets your expectations, but exceeds them. Its that moment you redirect your thoughts and recreate your judgements about them. Its that moment you realize that its not about people changing, its more about getting to know someone in a different element at a different time and age. Its when those childhood friends you've known for 10+ years wake up one morning and start living a real life-- you become so genuinely infatuated with them. It reminds you why you loved learning about them in the first place and the friendship almost feels renewed and begins to flourish in a new light-- with an older better version of the both of you.
Quote of the Day:
"Nobody ever forgot anything. Not really, though sometimes they pretended, when it suited them. Memories were permanent. Sorrowful ones remained sad even with the passing of time, yet happy ones could never be recreated- not with the same joy. Remembering bred its own peculiar sorrow. It seemed so unfair- that time should render both sadness and happiness into a source of pain."

For the past week I have been reading a book called "You Can Heal Your Life" by Louise Hay and it has been allowing me to recenter myself and embrace the physical world with positivity and love.. a healing touch.
One of my favorite passages from this past week is:
In the infinity of life where I am,
all is perfect, whole and complete.
I believe in a power far greater than I am that flows
through me every moment of every day.
I open myself to the wisdom within,
knowing that there is only One Intelligence
in tis Universe. Out of this One Intelligence
comes all the answers, all the solutions,
all the healings, all the new creations.
I trust this Power and Intelligence,
knowing that whatever I need to know is revealed to me
and that whatever I need comes to me
in the right time, space, and sequence.
All is well in my world
This passage allows me to find peace; it allows me to take my hands out of my own life and hand it over to a higher being that already has a path for me. It allows me to believe that I already am exactly where I am supposed to be, and if things were actually supposed to be different they would be.
This week I am moving from LA back to Santa Barbara for school with about three weeks before school actually starts. I am not going through a completely new change, although things will be different this time around-- new roommates, new classes, and new surroundings and experiences. But I am setting a positive and uplifting mood, I am creating acceptance within my world and opening my arms wide with an embracing heart. My goals are to have a productive week as I get my life reorganized in Santa Barbara. I intend on creating strong, meaningful relationships in SB, while I reconnect with the ones I have already created. I intend on leaving the people I love and care for in LA on positive note. I will make the choice to take care of my own emotions and feelings during this changing time in my life. I am excited and ready to tackle this week!

Happy Hump Day readers, you're half way through the week and that much closer to the weekend!
Song of the Day:
All I know, is I don't want to feel like this anymore
I need to let you go
Wasn't I enough to keep you from someone else
Its time to let you go
As I watch our lives unfold, its like I'm in reverse
I want to go back to the place that
so we can take everything thats broken, make the pain disappear
I want to hold you for the first time as we battle through the tears
If we went back to the place where we began
Would we have the chance to save us?
Just so you know, I gave you everything, my heart, my soul
No one could love you more
but I know that you take the good and you make it bad
If we're going to crash, let's burn
As I watch our lives unfold, its like I'm in reverse
I want to go back to the place that
so we can take everything thats broken, make the pain disappear
I want to hold you for the first time as we battle through the tears
If we went back to the place where we began
Would we have the chance to save us?
We keep watched the clocks and see the minutes turn to days,
and keep chasing the shadows until the sunlight fades away,
and we try, and try to make some sense of this cliche
but it gets harder every day
So we can take everything thats broken, make the pain disappear
I want to hold you for the first time as we battle through the tears
If we went back to the place where we began
Would we have the chance to save us?
[[Shoutout to my sister, Natasha, for being there for me through my hardest times]]
Quote of the Day:
"It takes alot of little steps to break free of your broken self"
Remember:
Allow yourself to feel the emotions you are experiencing, and sit with it. Either they will pass or they will become important enough to address.
You are built to endure the hardships that come your way. Take a moment, find the strength within yourself, and fight back. You will get through whatever is making you feel broken.
There is a line that must be drawn between continuing to fight for the person you love and beginning to love yourself. Its a very fine line, which may get blurry at times; but if you clear your eyes long enough, somewhere in there you will find the side your heart is leaning towards.
