I've recently come to live by a new motto for life....

"Whatever you think you know about the past, forget it..."

Today is the present, tomorrow the future, and yesterday the past. When tomorrow is here, it will then be the present, the next day the future, and the day before the past. You either live in the present or future, not the past. We can move ahead, but not backwards, therefore, the past is set. However, we create our own destiny, and it is in our power to make the future worth living.

People say, forget the people in your past, there is a reason they didn't make it to your future. The people in my present today have been there through everything, my accomplishments, my joys, my sorrows, my struggles, and my decisions. I have found best friends, and though we bicker, and drama catches up to us, you best believe if something goes down, all three of us are there for one another (Carmen & Melissa). However, my future is full of new people i have never even met yet, and i must admit, i'm pretty anxious for the introduction.

I like to live this life optimistic. I like to see the glass half full, not half empty. I rather love and get hurt, rather than not have loved at all. I rather get hurt than hurt someone else. I've realized bad things happen to good people, and sometimes, the best of people can never catch a break. I've realized you have to work for anything worth recieving. I've realized that the "easy" way out is just a myth.

Reputation is how others view you. Once you get a bad reputation, its hard to overcome. So whether people at work are still gossiping about you for something that happened over 2 years ago, remember that though reputation is how others view you, is how you view yourself.

I don't believe in the fairytales, just in good people. I try to find good in everyone, despite how hard they make it.

Life challenges me, pushes me, and sometimes tries to give me that last push over the edge.
I've been loved
And I have loved.
And i've been hurt.
And I've hurt people
People have lied to me.
And i've lied to people.

Things aren't always as they seem.
Life's lesson is to NEVER assume.

There are a 10 facts i have learned to live by....

Fact 1: At some point in life, you will love. You will hurt, and you will be hurt.

Fact 2: You can't re-write the classics.

Fact 3: The sequels are NEVER better than the originals (unless we are talking about the Godfather)

Fact 4: No matter how trusting you are, you will be betreyed/lied to at some point in your life. Keep in mind, you will betrey/lie to someone in your life.

Fact 5: You may fight with your family but truthfully, if the world turns its back on you, your family will be the first ones there with bells on.

Fact 6: You will lose a loved one

Fact 7: Who you were in high school will mean NOTHING in the real world

Fact 8: You were born into this world an original, DO NOT GO OUT A COPY!

Fact 9: Life will push you to the limit, so set none

Fact 10: Forget the rest : Do What makes you happy

Its good to take in advice from others, but in the end, you need to make your own decision.

A decision is a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration. Either way, bad or good, there will be a consequence. Some decisions are easy, others are like flipping a coin. You have a 50/50 chance.


You will meet someone that change you for the better. You will meet someone that causes you to smile just a little bit bigger each day. And you will meet someone who will accept you for the piercings in your face and tattoos on your body. You will meet someone that finds your flaws, er, well flawless. You will meet someone who will love you at your best, but even more at your worst. You will find someone that makes you spend three hours getting ready on your make up, your hair and your outfit, just to go into the pizza shop to see them for 15 minutes. You will meet someone who will make you care about things you never even noticed exsited before. But most importantly, with this person, you will find your place in the world, where everything seems to fit and fall into place.


So these are my ramblings lol, and wow they were a lot longer than i thought they would be.
