Bitches Get Shit Done
My dad always told me when I was growing up, that I shouldn't trust anyone and to always look out for myself first. "Be kind to others, but not at the expense of your own happiness." I think those were his exact words... or something like it. Looking back, I wish I would've listened harder to his advice. I was so dead set on being right, that I didn't look out to see everything I was doing wrong. I thought I was so lucky. I could've sworn I had awesome friends who loved me for who I was. I could not have been more wrong. My dad repeatedly tried to tell me that they were using me. At the time, I didn't know how he knew right off the bat that they were using me. It didn't make any sense. Until I realized why. It took me about nine years to realize it was because he had known people just like the friends I had chosen. He had had friends just like the friends I had. It took dropping out of college and getting pregnant for me to realize who my true friends were. It took a ton of people abandoning me when they realized I had run out of money to spend on them. It took me overhearing one of the people I considered my best friend calling me a cunt and saying that she was just friends with me because of the parties I threw to realize that my dad had been right all along.

Systematical Errors
Have we ever wondered what life itself is supposed to bring us? We are supposed to be these happy go lucky people although we are nowhere near happy. Behind every "happy" face there is a world of wondering if everything is going to be okay; there is one thing that we are not admitting to ourselves. Everything that happens in our life has a word based upon it. Happiness is just a word that is put behind a smile because it takes too many muscles to frown. Depression is just a word that we are supposedly "diagnosed" with when we are considered "abnormal," but what is normality? The world revolves around thousands and thousands of words behind meaningless emotions as we feel them. We may seem happy, when reality comes up behind us and makes us choose whether we want to smile or take the effort to frown. The world is a disaster and we are afraid to admit the worst to ourselves. We fear reality. We fear what is supposed to be a reality that we have to fight for. It's cruel and unusual!

Fear
Fear. Everyone has one. Some may say they don’t, but in truth, everyone has a fear. I have multiple fears. I have a fear of spiders. A fear of snakes. I have a fear of singing in front of people. Otherwise known as stage fright. I have a fear of being rejected. Although I think everyone has the fear of being rejected. I have a fear of being hurt by someone I have fallen in love with. Again, I believe everyone has this fear. Fear is something that is a constant thing in some people’s life. You never know when you won’t have any time left to do anything. So, do all that you can. Use that fear to push yourself to do things you are scared of. Like for me, even though I am scared of singing in front of people, I have started to record myself singing with songs. I will put them with a video of pictures then post them online. Another thing I am doing is going live on live.me and singing. So far, people have been kind. They haven’t said anything bad. In the past there have been people who have said bad things. But I ignore them and keep doing it. I am scared of being rejected by someone I have fallen in love with. I have actually fallen for this guy and I am so scared that he is going to reject me. I mean why wouldn’t he? He can find someone better than me.

The Houses of the Zodiac: House #3
Do you know what your birth chart says? Or, do you even know what a birth chart is? Your birth chart is based off of the time, location, and date of your birth. At the time when you were born, every planet and star and thing up there in the universe was in a specific place. Doesn't seem like it matters, but it absolutely does. Your birth chart displays where all those planets and stuff were, and this contributes to the magic that is your personality.

Perfection
She stands at 5'5". She has a 26-inch waist. She's a brunette. Her eyes are blue, which compliment her fair skin and soft facial structure. She often makes you laugh, as she has a great sense of humor. She sounds pretty hot, right? According to some super scientific surveys I found on the internet (following) the ideal eye color, hair color, skin color, personality trait, and body type, the woman I just described is our society's perfect Franken-Chica (society's perfect man is over 6'0" with all the same ideal characteristics as a perfect woman, for those of you I left wondering).

Coffee Pot
The smell of coffee brewing in the morning is probably one of my top 5 favorite smells. Something about it is comforting. Coffee and oatmeal cookies is what you'd smell every morning on Catalina Island. You couldn't pass up walking into The Cookie Company once that smell hit you.

I Failed
Hello my little lovelies! So I wanted to make this post because I realized I never really talk or write about what happens when my cravings override my willpower and it's not your cheat day. It's not often but it does happen. I feel like if I'm going to share my journey to being healthy and fit with you guys I have to be honest with my struggles too. I don't want to post about just the successes because I don't want people who are also trying to be healthy think that it's going to be a piece of cake. It's honestly not a piece of cake.

The Only Thing Standing in Your Way is YOU
I know what you're thinking, "It's not my fault," "I was too busy," "I can't afford to go to the gym," etc. etc. These are all things you tell yourself (and others) to try and escape the fact that the reason your health is the way it is, is YOUR fault. YOU chose to eat that tub of ice cream. YOU chose to lay in bed all day watching television.
