The Art of Kindness

They say “kindness” goes a long way. These days kindness is becoming more of a forgotten past time. It feels like more and more people are just out for themselves in the world these days and why is that? Has life become so stressful or have we become so self centered that we forget about our other fellow human beings.

I think looking out for each other brings a step closer to reconnecting with others. It shows, that I care, so I’m taking a step to make you feel cared for. This Holiday Season let’s take a step into caring for others. Not for any reason, let’s see how that makes us feel.

Grief and loss

I haven't necessarily cried in a while and "let out" my emotions. I know that I do have to process my loss but this is something that I've been running away from for a while now. I don't want to accept that this is "real". So I keep myself busy and try to forget, instead of remembering how my mom was such a huge part in my life. I have been a little nostalgic and trying to remember when I was child and how life was like when she was alive but my mind is fuzzy so I can't remember it all.

I do feel the pain and sit in silence. Birthday's, Holidays and the anniversary of her passing makes me numb. I grieve in silence.

I need to stop tipping people that have horrible customer service and have a bad attitude. I do tip when I’m at a restaurant but at coffee shops, I get a bad cashier sometimes and I still tip. Today I didn’t tip and I feel bad about it. I think I ordered a small coffee and ended up getting a medium sized coffee. I’m not sure if he hooked it up or what. Anyways, that stupid screen makes you obligated to tip and I hate how the cashier looks at you if you’re going to tip. Anyways maybe I should make a small tip instead of a solid $1 ? 🤷‍♀️

I never watched "Blackfish" or ever wanted to. I think because I love animals so much I can't bear to see what mankind has done to them. It honestly sucks to watch and see what we do. Killing, causing pain, destroying their environment, tearing families apart, and just being cruel. I don't know why humans have no compassion towards animals. I think some people were just born in super fucked up situations and environments that they take their shit out on other people and animals.

Well, I read about the killer whale named "Lolita". She was taken away from her pod when she was around 3-6 years old and robbed from her family. She lived in captivity for over 5 decades in a small tank and lived in poor conditions. I FEEL that was a shitty way to live. I wonder if she had any memory of what her life was like in the open ocean and if she remembered bits or pieces of her family. It is said that Lolita's mother is 90 years old and still alive till this day. This story is very sad and I'm surprised that this practice is still happening till this day.

Killer whales are such highly intelligent creatures and to put them in a tank like that is horrible. When I was thinking of Lolita, I thought about the trainer that was killed by a killer whale at Seaworld. I think the whale was tired and aggravated by it's lifestyle that it took it's shit out on the trainer. I hope no other whale gets seperated like that and put in a fucking tank to do stupid ass tricks like that.

I also thought of the elephant that attacked and it's trainer and took off from the circus because it was just tired of doing tricks. I think it was probably beaten and mistreated. The poor elephant was shot and killed in front of a large crowd. So sad, but I wish that these animals are heaven now living their best life and I hope as humans we learn to be a bit more compassionate to our fellow creatures.

What a wonderful dinner! I’ve always wanted to try Metztli. My daughter Bella really enjoyed the the barbacoa and quesadilla! She’s not afraid of some spice. The venue was really cute too. Marco Polo in Silverlake has a really cute atmosphere and the plants are beautiful. Will be coming back. Yay for $2 tacos! Give him a try - he does pop ups and you can find him on Instagram.

I love following a cool blog that has vibrant colored photography and people sharing their travels. I just recently came across this blog if you would like to check it out. Lots of awesome interior design and travels!

Catching up on Netflix

So the series of Bling Empire (New York) has debuted on Netflix. I think I'm on episode 4 and it's okay. I really loved the original Bling Empire. The cast was so much fun and energetic! This new series is kind of a spin off of the original. The casts of this show are a bit "ehh". The one member that is really catching my attention this season is Dorothy Wang. She's quite funny and doesn't hold back. I think having her on the show made it a bit more interesting. Tina is a very hardworking fashion blogger and I commend her for getting out there and making a living for herself. I think Richard Chang is similar to Kevin from the original Bling Empire. I think he's trying to figure it out and do his own thing and trying to social climb to the top. He seems to have a good head on his shoulders but will see.. I overall give this show a 6 out of 10. I'm trying to get into it but it's just not it for me. Let me know what you think?

Setting Boundaries

"what may be easy for others, may not come as easy to you". I find this to be so true. That setting boundaries can be very difficult for others especially if you are not use to being direct with people. You put other peoples feelings first and not your own. So you ruminate on how this person/situation made you feel and you don't say anything because you do not want to create waves.

I think it's very important to start boundaries with people and try to make it a New Years Resolution. I also think that setting a boundary should come from a place of kindness and letting people know that what they did is not okay. If people keep walking all over you and not respecting your boundaries maybe it's time to let that person out of your life and have little contact with them so you can have a bit of mental stability.

Having little chaos in your life will help you be at ease, trust me. Stress is a horrible feeling to have on a day to day basis. No one wants to be around shitty people that are constantly negative all the time and put others down. For whatever reason this person is taking their shit out on you, that's a no-n0. You are not someone else punching bag. So lets try to be a little kinder to ourselves and learn not to welcome things that we are not okay with.
