It's gonna be wild

When you're in your most tired state, your lowest, darkest moments, that is when you have an encounter with love. This past week has been a sort of low for me, but I'm not going to lose passion. I'm ready for a new thing, something I've never experienced before. I'm ready to be pushed out of my comfort zone so I can grow. I'm ready to unleash the power and live free. 

One encounter is all you need and you'll never want to go back to your old ways.

Don’t never let nobody bring you down girl

I really don't like it when people constantly feel sorry for themselves or when people are just plain depressed/negative thinkers. Whenever I catch myself wanting to step into that wallowing hole I always try to remind myself that no matter what situation I'm going through, there's probably millions of other people who are going through something worse. I can change for the better and if I just continue to feel bad about myself it's just a waste of time. The time used to wallow in self-pity could be used to improve my conditions by changing my attitude and behaviours. Your thoughts determine your actions. "What we think about today is what we will become tomorrow." Negative thoughts will get you nowhere. 


Now, looking back onto my past I realize that so many people I've known have changed and others have stayed the same. Some change for the better, some change for the worse and some who didn't change might have never taken the chance to improve. I can't change anyone else so I am learning to focus on changing myself -always for the better. 


Another thing I've had to re-ask myself this week: Do I want to be right? Or do I want relationship? I thought I already had this grilled into my brain and I definitely want relationship over being right, but when I was tested on it, I failed. Well, I will see this as an opportunity to learn from my mistakes and act differently next time. 


The reason we go through trials is to remind us that we can't rely on ourselves.

Things of value cannot hide for long


Now that I look at these pictures I feel like I was pretending to be a detective in my trench coat. hahaPhotobucket

Sometimes I feel like I'm always trying to fit myself into a category but nothing seems to describe me fully. I'm all over the place. I really just need to be myself and be comfortable. I don't need to act a certain way or dress in a specific style. I'm learning to discover myself one day at a time.







The glass is half full

Today I was planning to make a minor decision. I won't go into the details of it, but there were many signs that clearly pointed to NO. I feel like today gave me proof that things do become clear when you really press in and listen. This has encouraged and motivated me to continue to press in, clear up my blurred vision and know that things will eventually fall into place.

Here's part I of the pictures from a photo shoot I did with my friend Emily just before Summer ended. I miss the sunshine. Gotta whip out my umbrella for the rain to come this week, man I hate trekking around campus in the gloomy weather. Hope it's not windy because my umbrella always flips up.. so embarrassing haha.

What's currently on my heart: I need to remember that things do not happen in my time but the things I do now could prepare me for something in the future.

"You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life." -Steve Jobs

Saying yes or no is not a feeling. My first reaction to this was "Really?" I'm such an emotional person, I usually go for whatever I 'feel' like doing. But what I need to constantly remind myself is that things do not always happen in my time. I have to say yes to what I am called to do, and I should say no to things that are not under my responsibility. I need to care less about what people think and not feel guilty. I do not need to take every single opportunity just because I feel like I should. Even if I miss one here or there, another one will clearly show up if it's what I'm meant to do. I will focus on my vision and walk on the path towards my destiny.

And since it's Thanksgiving weekend in Canada, here's some things that I'm thankful for..
1) My family and friends who love me and know me best, who forgive me even when I've made a million mistakes
2) Having a roof over my head, food on the table every day, clothes to wear
3) Having the opportunity to go to school and pursue whatever I want in life

Have a great Thanksgiving everyone!

It's time for me to truly forgive the people who have trespassed over my boundaries in the past, not judge but learn from my parent's mistakes and improve myself for the future. I don't want to lose myself in any relationships and I also don't want to overlap my identity with someone else's. It's time to take care of my boundary issues before it's too late.
