It’s Been a While... 2017 in Review

It’s been a while. Months actually. Life got crazy busy and this blog along with my youtube channel fell to the wayside. I stopped doing these things that I loved because I was consumed with the other realities of my life. 

But things have changed now. I recently graduated from college which means freedom (temporarily) from academic commitment. In seven months I will be starting law school and committing another three years of my life to academia. However this time, I am not going to put aside the things I love.

School is important to me and I always try to do my best. So much so that I have driven myself crazy at times with classes, work, studying, attempting to maintain a social life, etc. that my mental and physical health suffered. 

Over this past year I have really taken a step back and decided to put myself first. It hasn’t been easy. Actually, it’s been more difficult than I ever imagined. This year was probably the most challenging of my life. I use the word challenging because it can be seen as both a good thing and a bad thing. It was difficult, rough, annoying, emotionally draining, and a million other negative things. But this year was also incredible, thought provoking, triumphant, rewarding and so many other amazing emotions. This year was simultaneously the worst year of my life and the best.

Through all of it I have realized one thing: 2018 is going to be incredible. Every challenge I faced this year was in preparation to make me a better person and I am confident that the person I am now can handle EVERYTHING 2018 has in store for me. It is not going to be easy, but I am better prepared and in a better place to thrive.

In 2018 I am going to focus on this blog along with my youtube channel (check the link under social media to enjoy) because they are passion projects of mine that bring me a lot of joy. I am still going to put the essential things in my current life first like work and school, but not let them be all consuming. 2018 is the year where I want my life to be consumed by passion!!

Love is giving everything you have without expecting anything in return. Love is putting others before yourself, the reward coming in their joy. Love is radiating joy, positivity and light into the world. Love like the sun. Give love freely with no hesitation, no strings attached, and the enjoyment of spreading it. Love so pure and true creates a light so bright that the entire world feels it in every fiber of their being.

Dreaming about an endless summer

Summer has me smiling all day long 

[tragic-princess]

Shinning blue. Crystal clear. Bright, vivacious, so full of you. Your eyes dazzle me, the passion cutting through to my soul. Your words move so fast, captivated by the intensity. Your hands move about widely, unconfined by any rules. Every part of your body, every cell, is bursting with life. And every part of mine is captivated by love for you.

We sit there, your hand in mine. A smile graces my face and the entire world is content. Your heart beats strong and steady in rhythm with mine. Your eyes, your lips, your touch, all belong to me. I am yours and in this moment you are mine. A peace I have never felt before encompasses me and this moment is more perfect than any fairy tale.

You saw me. Every part of me. The little boxes in the corners, the cracks on the walls, the messages behind the my intentions. I felt bare, raw and vulnerable with you, yet it didn’t scare me at all. Being with you was easy, effortless. I never felt like I had to hide exactly who I was because with you, I was more than enough. Now i’m here wondering why I shared everything with you if it meant nothing at all. I’m left hiding in the corners scared and sad and afraid to ever let anyone in again.

I’ve always known who I am. There have been times when I have been afraid to be, but it’s been them beneath the surface. Until I met you. When I met you, the me I was before wasn’t who I wanted to be. You made me better, the best version of me. The kind of person I only dreamed existed. With you I was everything I wanted to be and more. With you I was exactly who I was always meant to be and all I could offer in return was my love. Maybe it wasn’t enough, but the time I spent with you was everything and more.

They put us in a box. They label us and tell us who to be. They place restrictions like chains around our necks that we carry with us. But these things don’t exist. They are but creations of our minds that are there to limit our success, to hold us back, to make us feel like we can’t. But we can. And we will. So stop letting them tell you who to be and what you can do. Do it. Be you. Drive forward unafraid into your future.

We continuously ask ourselves, what is the purpose? Why am I here? Will my life matter? Will I be remembered when i’m gone? The answer is not out in the world, but inside you. You are the only person who can determine what the point is and give your life meaning. It is up to you to make every moment count and to leave knowing that you lived a life that was so full of passion every atom in your body is alive.

We spend our entire lives looking for that one person that really sees us in a way that no one has before. We look for that one person that we can bare our soul to who will love all of us, even the demons that live inside. We live our lives hoping, waiting, and wishing that someone will come into our lives and turn our world upside down. But we live behind a mask, a false reality in which we are who the world expects us to be. Never revealing our pain, and our truth unable to find the one we have been searching for, even when they have been right in front of us the whole time.

It’s the hardest lesson to learn, but it’s the best. You must be who you are ever second of every day. Betraying yourself will destroy your entire world. When you are true to you, the world is at your fingertips and there is nothing that you cannot do. When you love yourself, the sun shines and the birds sing and everything is just as it should be.

Then I saw you. The way you laugh, the glow in your eyes, your compassion, intensity, drive, heart. All of it revealed itself to me slowly as I peeled the layers back. I saw you in a way no one else had before. It was a slow build as the glimpses into your should grew larger but all the while my heart was becoming yours. I didn’t know it at the time, but every inch of you I saw, I loved. And in return I barred myself to you not afraid of unrequited love because my love for you was more than enough.
