So Done!

Friend?

Good one

 

Summer Love

Summer is my favorite time of the year. I love warm nights, jasmine in the air and swimming. I love summer fruit & barbecues. And I LOVE Snapchat :-)

How is your summer shaping up?

I've started working out again, feeling more like myself and not wrapped up in people who don't make me laugh. PRIORITIES! 

(Life is kinda precious when there is less of it to waste)

Forget the past

Ending a chapter

 

Me a year later

Ending something that was the MOST important thing in my life for so many years is a hard thing to do. But I've finally know that it is what is best for me. I had such high hopes for my future, but now I'm just kind of in limbo. I don't know what to do with myself. I'm posting the picture above because I want to get in better shape and this is the starting point. Maybe I'll post another picture just like this after a few months. I'm hoping to get my waist & stomach back in shape. So that is one goal I hope to achieve. I have a new kitty (Mandy) and her and Noodles are adjusting, so I guess getting them in a good place with each other is another goal.

So yeah, I've hit rock bottom in my life, so the only place to go is up. And I'm determined to try and be a better person because of all the experiences I've had the past 15 years. Many experiences that haven't been good and have torn up my insides. Tested my faith in people and have left a really bad taste in my mouth.

I'm going to take it minute by minute, not day by day because this is so painful it hurts my heart 😢

Eyes of sadness

I'm bored

On a different note....

It was a trifecta day for me today! I got my hair done, won a Kindle Fire AND $500 bucks! YES!!!

The world is a mess

Cat Lives Matter!

Yeah my song

It starts with
One thing I don't know why
It doesn’t even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time
All I know
Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
It’s so unreal
Didn’t look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on but didn’t even know
I wasted it all just to watch you go

I kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when...

I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter

One thing, I don’t know why
It doesn’t even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme
To remind myself how
I tried so hard
In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I’m surprised it got so (far)
Things aren’t the way they were before
You wouldn’t even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me
In the end

You kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when...

I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter

I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There’s only one thing you should know
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There’s only one thing you should know

I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter

Places to make friends

1. 1
   Know what your hobby is. Do you like to play a certain sport? Do you enjoy acting or singing? Whatever your hobby may be, try to join a club or school activity in which you will get to do it. Maybe you will be able to meet some people who share the same interest as you.
2. 2
   Ask the friends you currently have if they know anyone who has some of the same interests as you. If they say yes, ask if they could introduce the two of you. A good friendship may form out of this, and you would get to be meeting new people.
3. 3
   Do some volunteer work or get a job. Try to do it at a place where you know you will be getting to work with other people. Also, make sure the place where you plan on doing this requires you to do something that interests you. If you do this, you may meet some new friends while doing work.
4. 4
   Take a look at your family. Perhaps you have a cousin who has a lot of the same interests as you. Whatever the case may be, maybe you could try becoming better friends with any relatives you have. If they are distant, ask for their email or phone number if you don't already know it.
5. 5
   Go for a walk around your neighborhood. See if you notice anyone who looks around your age doing something you like to do. For example, if you like to play basketball and see someone shooting hoops, ask if you can play with them. Some of the nicest people can be in your neighborhood, so be sure to take notice of them.
6. 6
   Online can sometimes be a good place. But aware there are nutty people out there that will hurt you, so if you are going to meet someone in person, be sure it's in the middle of the day, in a public place. Don't tell anyone where you live and always meet where you would have help if things got weird. You could bring someone with you, to be safe

Is Technology Killing Our Social Behavior?

Recently, there was a cinema advert featuring actor Kevin Bacon and a certain digital communications company. You may have seen it. It's the one where a family sat around a table at an English cafe are having breakfast. In so many words Kevin describes the choice of a full English breakfast over the continental option as a 'no brainer.' -Meaning it's the only choice.

While each member uses a different digital communications device, Kevin also makes comments with words to the effect that having a 'family contract' that covers all devices; a laptop, iPad, mobile phone... etc., is also the only choice to make because this contract, as advertised by the digital communications company, is the most economical...

While all this goes on I'm watching with amazement. I'm thinking did the makers of this advert see what's really going on here? How about the audience, do they see it?

While the family are sat around the table each member is so immersed in their communication device that nobody is interested in talking. This brings me to this: Have we as a human race become so immersed in technology that it is killing our social behaviour? Have we become a mutant race while technology slowly over time is killing our social behaviour?

Today, we know that it has never been easier to communicate with others. We have all these communications devices and social networking websites... but according to research carried out people have never been so lonely.

Although some can have many friends (so-called friends?) on social networking sites the relationships promoted there can be superficial, lacking the depth that face-to-face real live intimate friendship has, like seeing the funny side of things, spontaneous behaviour and silliness that brings laughter...

People online, withdrawn from real life, immersed in the virtual world, sometimes make up false versions of themselves, or perhaps they may end up simply being different to what they would normally be like in real life with others, or perhaps getting lost in trying to look good... Not having the satisfaction that they would normally get in real life in the company of others they then become lonely.

Some are 'trapped' in this virtual world through habit or addiction and find it very difficult to get out of, losing real social and familial connections, hence the term 'the innovation of loneliness' given to the invention of social networking.

It has been said that the world we live in today demands more of us and the idea of rapid and ready friendships, online romances... allows us to manage our time more effectively. However, in spite of this, having virtual friends and romances perhaps in numbers it can be a case of putting quantity before quality: Text messages, emailing... is safer and less vulnerable, but it has been said that it is a poor substitute for real live intimacy...

What would I tell my younger self...

Picture 1 - Pay attention in school, don't be sad that the world around you is kind of crazy, it's not your fault.

Picture 2 - Always laugh and smile, be silly. Don't give your heart away. Enjoy life and don't worry about guys so much.

Picture 3 - Your life isn't so bad. You have the ability to do or be anything you like. Don't listen to negative people. Take chances. See the beauty in yourself and don't be so down on yourself. You are special.

Picture 4 - There is still more to come in life. Don't give up. Be grateful for what you have in life. Enjoy your healthy body. If you want something, go and get it. Keep your chin up!

On the flip side of that --- What would I tell my older self...

Don't settle for less than you deserve in life. It's okay to be alone / single. Put yourself OUT there and make new friends and new experiences. Be more frugal with your money. Try EVERYTHING! Enjoy yourself.  

Happy Birthday

to me? My birthday is Wednesday and I'm going to VEGAS... wish me lady luck! ;-) ;-)
