Emotions

It’s okay to be nervous about speaking your mind, but do not hold back on saying what you are thinking or feeling by mistaking it to being too sensitive or emotional.

Especially if it’s a relationship or has to do with a person you care about tons; the other person should thank you and respect what you’re feeling. I guess I’m bringing this up because I just got out of my Community Conflict Resolution class and talked about mediation and how hearing each other out when in a conflict is super important EVEN IF you don’t think the conflict is a big deal. When someone fully opens up to you, they are selling a little bit of their soul to you because they confide in you and trust that you will appreciate them speaking their mind on what or how they are feeling. Being too emotional or sensitive is usually looked down upon because people think it is a sign of being weak, but if you truly care for someone or about a relationship then why the hell not be completely honest with them? A relationship between two people is never going to be perfect (trust and believe that now if you think otherwise) and that’s the beauty of it. There is such beauty in solving small or big conflicts and moving along with life because it shows how much love and care is put into the relationship by the two people (or a group of people). Showing emotion is a sign of strength because you are letting another individual (or group of people) into your heart and brain and it is not always easy to do so. If the other person thinks you are weak for being too sensitive or emotional, than that person doesn’t deserve all of your time, etc.

So own it. Own being outspoken and honest about how you feel when it comes to your loved ones or a special relationship with someone. Love fully or don’t love at all is how I look at it. This ties back to my other post “Love so Hard” in the sense of fully loving my significant other and how the little things mean the most to me. I can honestly say that I am a victim of “having a big heart” and sharing my thoughts and feelings with him because I would not be able to hold something back from him. He knows that I care and if you’re reading this right now Jake, I love you more than life xo

Happy Thoughts to all you readers 🙂

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,

Dee

Do you ever…

Do you ever just admire someone’s presence? As if you’re SO lucky to be there with that person… example: instead of watching tv together,  you watch that person watch tv to see their reactions to what’s on the screen. If it’s something funny, you get the chance to not only hear that person laugh,  but you see their initial reaction and embrace that smile/laugh that lights up the dark room you both are in as you cuddle under the sheets because you’re cherishing every second as if it was your last.
I mean, you never know when will be the last time you see this special person again so might as well embrace and love every second spent with them.  And this doesn’t only go for your significant other,  but also your family and close friends. Life is too short and we are born to die. Cherish the presence of those who make you smile and make you feel loved. 
As for admiring someone’s presence as if you’re watching that person watch tv….well I’m guilty. I do this all the time with Jake and I dont care because he’s probably the best thing that has happened to me and I love everything about him,  even on his bad days.
On that note, hope you enjoyed your Sunday.
Love, 
Dee

2 things

First,

I can’t stop thinking about graduation this weekend. It is NOW starting to really sink in that I am graduating from college. It still seems so surreal to me. 4 more days! So close.

and

Second,

Today my Jake left me a letter tucked in my car door and it was honestly such a great feeling as I read it. Before him, I was such a hopeless romantic, but things have fallen into place so effortlessly. I couldn’t be any happier.

 

That is all.

5 more days

Until graduation!!!! I still cannot believe it. This has been a goal and dream of mine since I was younger.  And I’ll be the first to graduate from college in my family which means a lot. My family is super proud of everything I have accomplished thus far and I too am proud and thankful for this accomplishment. This is just the beginning to a new chapter in my life and i can’t wait to see what the future has in store for me!  I’ll make sure to post pictures from graduation,  etc.

My Jake

These are only some of the texts I received this morning. It’s the little things that mean the most to me. I still don’t know how I got so lucky to meet someone so amazing. I can go on about this for hours and write about it endlessly, but I’ll save it…..for now. I am just so amazed that another individual is able to bring that amount of joy to my life.

Relieved

Alright, I am officially done with finals as an undergraduate student and it is the best feeling!!! This week has been so hectic for me, but it’s all done and over with. I can’t believe I am graduating from my university next Saturday.  Time is flying by and my dreams are slowly, but surely becoming reality! I wouldn’t have made it this far if it wasn’t for my amazing family and close friends. I’ve been surrounded with such great energy by family, best friends and boyfriend; I wouldn’t trade them for the world. I am super thankful for everything and everyone that has helped me along the way.
If any of you out there are taking finals or just stressing over something, look back and think of all the good things/people in your life. Some people may have it worst and sometimes we take things for granted. In life, we are usually tested and if it wasn’t a blessing then it was a lesson. Don’t let anyone rain on your parade, strive to be amazing and remember that you can’t live a positive life with a negative mind.
Next Saturday will be such a huge accomplishment… I’ll keep you posted! 🙂
