Highlight of the day

Every day of this week, my students have to choose and write who or what they are thankful for since we are getting ready for Thanksgiving. One of my students said she was thankful for me and then says, “Well you are my family, ya know” It was followed with a big hug! You should also know that I work with children who come from troubled families and don’t really get the chance to experience what a Thanksgiving dinner is with all of their family under the same roof. Next week, we will all be gathering up in the gym to have a huge Thanksgiving dinner and it is the one time throughout the whole entire school year where the entire school (students and staff) are all together. It’s a big deal to the kids and to the staff because we show the kids how important they are and we get to share this same experience like a huge family. I am so excited for next week’s festivities at work! These children have opened my eyes to so much more in life and how important it is to cherish and value our loved ones.

I am sincerely thankful for them in every way possible.

 

Love so hard

I realized that I love so hard.

I love to make my significant other feel like he is special in every possible way (he is, btw).

I love being open and honest with him too. After all, keeping secrets from each other or not sharing your thoughts is not healthy even if it hurts to hear it.

That’s the beauty of love… being able to open 100% knowing that your lover will still be there for you regardless.

Also, being silly and not giving two shits about it because you already know that you feel comfortable enough to share your weirdness with each other. A relationship without humor has got to be SO boring and dull.

I love to surprise him with random yet meaningful text messages or random gifts because I can’t help, but to think of him when I see something at a store that reminds me of him.

I love staying up late with him even if I know I’m going to have a long day the next day. Every second spent with him is bliss.

I love calling him to see how is day was or call him as I walk to my car at night because just his voice makes me feel safe and secure.

I love spending time with his family and when he spends time with my family because I feel a sense of unity between the two.

I love looking at him when he doesn’t know I am to simply admire how handsome he is to me.

I love everything about him and that’s what makes me love so hard because even when times are tough, we both find a way to move on and grow from it and just keep loving each other the same way we always have, if not more.

Good vibes always

Even in absence of thought, the mind is a subconscious machine, it thinks of why or how things can feel so empty.

Don’t torture yourself.

Woah

It’s been a while and I really did want to try to be consistent with my blog. A lot has been going on in my life like getting a new job and starting to take grad school courses. I am in love with my job and so happy it worked out this way. I am now working at a private alternative school with children who don’t have great lives at home, children with psychological disorders, children with behavioral issues and the list goes on. My dream has always been to help children and juveniles with troubled backgrounds and help them to succeed in life; they are our future. As for grad courses, it’s going well. I decided to only take one class for now as I find a balance my new lifestyle.
Speaking of college, I am super proud of Jake for going back to school and deciding to finish. He honestly is part of my motivation to do well in life and his support means the world to me. Tomorrow marks our 6 months together and I know we have so much more to experience together ahead of us. We recently went to the Patriots game and it was such an amazing time.

There is definitely more to catch up on and I do not just want to ramble on about my life because this will turn out to be a SUPER LONG post. I hope to post regularly again!

Until next time,
