"I try to say goodbye and I choke
Try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near"

Happy Friday. ♥

It's a shame that these Theban plays I'm re-reading for Greek Lit are a lot more entertaining than everything on television right now. o_O

Bad Habits - Maxwell
"Baby, to tell the truth
When I'm sober, I jones for you
When it's over, I'm overdue"

Unthinkable (I'm Ready) - Alicia Keys
"I was wondering maybe
Could I make you my baby
If we do the unthinkable, would it make us look crazy?
If you ask me, I'm ready"

Almost Doesn't Count - Brandy
"Gonna find me somebody
Not afraid to let go
Want a no doubt be there kind of man, you came real close
But everytime you built me up, you only let me down
And everybody knows
Almost doesn't count"

"The more I search for a reason not to think about you, the more I find a reason to think about you. Do you know what that’s like? To think about not thinking about someone? It’s like a dog chasing their own tail…Sometimes I want to go back to the days before I knew your name, where you’re from, and what you do, back when I knew nothing about you, so I couldn’t miss you. Sometimes I miss those days more than I miss you. But those days are rare. As a matter of fact, those days are never."

- Jozen Cummings (of UIGM)

Break of Spring.

2012-03-10T16:10:00.000-05:00

Last night, I went with my mom and her best friend to see Brian McKnight. It was in a casino, so I was feeling a little out of place because most people looked twice my age. But I looked cute, so it was cool. Also, he's actually a way better singer than I thought and awesome all-around performer.

Today, I haven't been doing anything except watching television and eating. Literally. That's all I was planning to do all break (plus sleep &homework), but I have eaten alot today. Like I don't even want to list everything because it's embarrassing, lol.

Laugh to keep from crying, I guess.

A short note on feelings.

2012-02-06T13:37:00.001-05:00

If there's one thing I can't take, it's someone belittling my feelings because he or she feels that I'm in the wrong no matter what. There are two sides, versions, perspectives to a disagreement, so, since I'm human, I obviously have feelings too. That's not to say that the other person's feelings are invalid. But it IS to say that I have a right to feel some time of way about a certain situation because I'M HUMAN TOO.

Breathe.

It's only the first week of class and I already feel completely overwhelmed.

I'm not a "routine" type of gal, but I need to plan out my weeks ahead of time. It's the only way I'm about to survive AND succeed this semester.

2012-01-10T11:50:00.001-05:00

I've been looking for a motto/saying to describe my year (2012) and what I'm trying to accomplish. Well, I made my bed this morning (which I never do) and I was inspired.

new habits.

I'll list what they are later.

Happy New Year!

It always takes me forever and a day to get ready for the semester after a long break, so I'm going to try and use these last few days productively so that I'm already in a productive mode. Here is a lil' bit of my break in pictures, courtesy of Cleopatra (my iPhone).

Not resolutions, just things. I could start now - I have, in fact. I just believe it's easier to mark progress with a fresh calendar beginning.

This is a long road to self-actualization.

Some of my friends have been having a tough time lately, so I'm going to have a long talk with Him when I go to sleep. We need it.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I am very blessed and even more thankful for the things and people that God has given me.

The event is held in a multicultural high school so there are posters in all kinds of different languages.

I went to CVS after. I have been wanting Milani's Mineral Mai Tai blush for forever. I also just got a Wet 'n Wild trio that matches what I'm wearing tomorrow. The colors are a little lighter than what is shown in the picture.

A short note about nothing.

2011-11-18T11:16:00.003-05:00

The harder I search for something to write about, the harder it is to find something to write about. I have so much to do before I go home for Thanksgiving (my fav. holiday! :)), but that's alright. I would rather do it now because if I do, then it can actually be Thanksgiving break. I have been going and going, non-stop since September. This has been one of my hardest semesters (more than academically) thus far and I don't even know why. I always try to do my best but it seems like I fall short. I guess when you try hard is when you die hard. But wait 'til I get my money right. [/Kanye]

Because I have nothing to say today.

Oh, blogger.

Okay, I'm really back this time. I need to dip my hand back into this pool of REAL blogging. Not updating statuses, not tweeting, not "blogging" (looking at you, Tumblr) but actual blogging. We'll start with the encounter I had on Friday.

I went into Target to get a few things. I just threw on some random clothes &I was plain-faced but my hair had a little flip to it because I put curlers in it the night before. It looked pretty cute actually. Anyway, all I got was stuff to make sandwiches and then some random makeup products that I had been wanting. My cashier was ringing it up and the food was first so he got that; then the other stuff was kind of separated so he had to ask me if it was mine &I said yes. Then he’s like “you don’t need this stuff” and I just laughed; he said it so matter-of-factly that I thought he was making a joke of some kind. But then he’s like “you’re beautiful, man.” His tone of voice was something like he wished he had a girl like me. And I was like “thank youuu :DDDD” But I was also caught off guard because he seemed like the type of cashier that hates his job/doesn’t wanna engage customers more than he has to.

He low AND highkey totally pumped my head up/completely made my day. Genuine compliments without ulterior motives make me so happy.

I want to adore. I want to be adored.
Why can't the adoration ever be mutual?
