My kind of compliment ...

John Smith: First time we met, what was your first thought?
 Jane Smith: You tell me.
John Smith: I thought… I thought you looked like Christmas morning. I don’t know how else to say it.
Jane Smith: Then why are you telling me this now?
John Smith: I guess in the end, you start thinking about the beginning.

I hate corny, mushy, typical, pink hearts and red kisses romance. In my understanding of it, the couples who resort to the stereotypical image of love are the ones who possess zero depth in their actual feelings towards one another. No two couples are alike, regardless of what society tries to engrave in us. I believe in raw, one of a kind, romance; the kind that allows you to fall in love according to the standards that the two unique people in the relationship bring to the table, not the kind that you find on a Hallmark card come February 14th. Hence why every time I watch this movie (on round 9) I feel like I had a bite of heaven. Sure, having Brad Pitt star along side one of the most beautiful woman to have walked this earth doesn't hurt, but more or less I'm drawn by some of the hidden treasures that the writers on this film have blessed us with. Who would think to mention "Christmas morning," honestly, no compliment can gain higher integrity than that. It surly provides a warm, fuzzy, wazzy feeling all over to know that a man you love, thinks of you as his cup of hot coco amongst the bright factory manufactured red and green lights! Oh, the romance!

Irony At It's Corniest

It's undeniably ironic that the person who gives you that out-of-this-world feeling (that you swear, if you could bottle and sell you'd be a millionaire) and makes you strong, is in fact your weakness.

So ... be his or her, favorite hello & hardest goodbye

5 Bullets of De-Stressing

• Remove toxins: includes types of foods you consume, types of products you use and most importantly types of people you know
• Sleep: not just any type of sleep: plan to sleep .. take a nice long bath beforehand, light some candles and/or turn on some of your favorite night time tunes
•  Seek friends: a good friend can make the most stressful situation seem like child's play
• Go natural: the purest form of anything and everything comes from nature .. take your self outdoors, wink at the sun and talk to the moon

and most importantly, always, always and I mean ALWAYS ...

• Count your blessings: take a minute to give your mind a break from what is actually making you have to give your mind a break and think about all that you have going for you, for example: "Another Day In Paradise"

Loft Living

"Dreams don't always have to exist when the sun is down and your eyes are shut" - Alex Gaskarth

Current time: 11:03 a.m. and I am dreaming of a loft, with rusty asscents, tons of character and a balacony with endless lights to meet the eye.

The Monsters Aren't Under The Bed Anymore

Let's get real. No, not the "stop talking behind my back" type of real nor the "you're a hater, be real" type either. Let's get real and face the real-ities of fear. How often do you get scared? What do you get scared of? How much do these fears impact your life?

 I find it far too unfortunate that we (and by "we" I mean mostly ME) live our lives with even a nano particle of fear. Granted, whether unfortunate or not it is in fact a well established part of every one's daily existence. So now that we've gotten quite "real" about the fact that we all, somehow fear something, let's dissect our fears: 

Is it the dark we fear? ... or is it our lack of ability to see what's in the dark?

Is it heights we fear? … or is it the thought that we may fall and not land safety?

Is it people we fear? … or the actions that they are capable of?

Is it failure we fear? … or the agony of judgement?

The more and more you think about it, fear is only a manifested crutch created by you and reinforced by outside sources. I Say, find gems in the dark, fall and brag about your scars, help people become capable of good as opposed to evil and if you're going to be judged, make sure you're wearing your best heels!
