Life

Something has gotten into me. Something great. I call it “Hardcore Happiness” I’ve always said “You can’t live a positive life with a negative mind,” which is true.

Okay, so I’ll tell you the truth… I’ve been dealing with this health issue that I am not 100% okay with talking about it openly yet, but I’m learning to deal with it and telling myself that everything is going to be okay. Yes, I get super anxious at times and I don’t really know what to expect because as of now I am playing the waiting game and not sure what it could turn into. I also begin to feel overwhelmed at times, but you know what? If I just sit here and worry all day, I won’t really enjoy the “NOW” — for this very reason it’s why I am not a huge fan about talking about it all the time. Though I may be dealing with this, I’m not dealing with it alone and I love my family, close friends and boyfriend for being there for me when I needed them and how they continue to be a great support system. XO Words cannot express how much I love them.

It’s all about enjoying your loved ones and being kind to everyone. You never know who may have it worse than you do. Some people take for granted of what and who they have in their life which blows my mind. I am fortunate enough to have such great people in my life who love and care about me. It’s all the little things that you may not notice which mean a lot… at least to me they do.

For example:
“Good Morning”
“How was your day?”
“Be careful”
“Text me when you get home so I know you’re safe”
“Sweet dreams”
“How are you?”
“I hope you’re feeling better”
“Have a good day today!”
“I miss you”
“Good night”…
“Can you come over?”
“Can I come over?”
“Can I see you?”
“Can I call you?”
“You’re beautiful”
“Want something to drink?”
“Watch your step”
“Let’s watch a movie”
“What are you up to?”
“How is your day so far?”
“It will be okay”
“I’m here for you”
“Do you need anything?”
“Are you hungry?”
“I just wanted to hear your voice”
“You just made my day”

You don’t have to hear “I Love You” to know that someone does. Listen carefully. People speak from the heart more often than you think
I hope this post makes you realize how precious life is and to pay close attention to those around you. Quit bashing what you hate, promote what you love and keep it moving people; life doesn’t stop for anyone.

Until next time,
Dee

Considering I made this blog not too long ago, I just want to say thank you to those who actually read my posts. That is all.

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! 🙂

Today

You know what’s nice? When someone appreciates your presence. Today before going to work, I stopped by the convinient store around the corner from my house to buy some water. You should be infromed that I haven’t stopped by there in a little while. When the owner saw me, her face lit up with joy and asked me where I’ve been all this time! I couldn’t help, but to laugh….It was a good and comforting laugh. She thought I had moved and that’s why I haven’t been to the store in a long time. But as I walked out of the door I remembered that I never got her name after all this time. I turned around and asked her what her name was and she asked for mine. The feeling of appreciation felt mutual. I thought it was awesome becasue you never know who you truly looks forward to seeing you or who actually admires your presence in a room. Share your smile with people and show them a sense of appreciation; it goes a long way.
