Welcome Back

guess who's back!
I don't know why i stayed away for so long. As much as many of my posts are random thoughts combined in an, almost, organized form, they're really just random thoughts lol. And in the few short months that I stopped blogging, I realized how much this is therapy for me in a sense. Sometimes I just need to write about, well, nothing. Just to get it off my chest...and I have a ton of shit sitting on my chest right now

SO!!!

Let me start with promoting a  blog... I like reading blogs that are worth reading, say something inspirational, or better yet, say something honest. You get tired of reading heartbreak stories every once in a while (i confess i have greatly contributed to the heartbreak) but its nice to see some insight from people now and then...SO...

read it....

Next...an update on my whirlwind love life... I'm engaged again lmao our breakup was temporary but we decided engagement wasn't where we needed to be at the time... but then Sept 17 he got down on one knee this time and put a fat diamond on my finger so0o0o yea.....
Also, I'm still in pursuit of a dream... I can't quite share it with you guys yet because I don't want to jinx myself.. I'm chasing a few dreams actually so we'll see what happens next...


ok...3 months of random thoughts::
*Dream chasing… Everybody talks about it but thats the problem- EVERYBODY TALKS ABOUT IT …of all these people who talk about following their dreams and chasing success to the ends of the world, how many are really doing it if they have all this time to talk about it?

*I don’t want to sit here and paint a Christian picture of myself… I’m rather mixed about my religion… Bring raised in the Catholic church n being put in Catholic school k-12 I wonder if I believe in God because I was told to my whole life or because its what I truly believe… Im def not Catholic , no offense to u that are… But heres my thing… There are hundreds of religions in the world, all center around a higher power if some sort, some even have multiple higher powers… But all in all u can’t tell anybody their religion is wrong… Muslims know their truths, Christians know theirs, Jews, etc… So how can everybody be right? Its impossible… I will concede to the fact that everyone agrees on some sort of higher power…n theres no way billions of people have been wrong forever lol… So in my book there is a God…he or she (or maybe even them) is somewhere doing something…
I also believe in fate and reason… Cliche as it is, everything happens for a reason and everyone serves a purpose in our lives… When it feels like nothings right, thats fate (or God’s) way of telling us we’re falling off the map… Now free will gives us the freedom to choose our paths, but the destination is the same no matter that we do…
There was a line in the mummy 2 that stood out to me n my theory is a play on it…i refuse to misquote so when I get the chance ill post it LoL

*
One of my favorite quotes is “Maybe all your dreams haven’t come true but neither have all your nightmares”
Sometimes things in life go wrong and at times it may feel like things will never get better. But instead of wallowing we have to take that as a sign that we’re heading in the wrong direction… Jer 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for u, Declares the Lord, plans to prosper u and not to harm u, plans for hope and a future”
I apologize if I misquoted…but when things go smooth its Gods way of telling us we’re back on the right path… So take a look at ur lives (not to get preachy on u guys but Ive been seeing a lot of people complain about their lives n feeling lost ) but find the learning in ur pain… Things may suck right now but maybe thats a cue that u need to change something in ur life… N the best place to start is by changing ur attitude..

*What else could i possibly have to say? A whole lot of things….but I shall keep it short…
I’ve come to notice something about the word “dream”…it has especially replaced the word “goal”, but why? Perhaps it is society’s way of coping with falling short or maybe we as people expect less of ourselves than we should. Think about it, how often do you hear people say “my dream was abc but…” If they don’t do everything they once hoped to do Or “my dreams came true” when something exceeds their expectations… I may be wording myself poorly but I’ve got eye boogers and bad breath lolol what I’m trying to say is the word dream represents something essentially fictitious…but we as people have embedded it into our vocabulary to represent potential. Potential is real; Set goals, not dreams.
Of course this brings to mind a “what to do if you don’t reach your goals” post lol but i think i've said enough today
