The one

You are the one.

The one I can run to when I’m feeling all sorts of anything. The one I can act a complete fool with and not feel judged. The one I can talk about my dreams and life long goals with. The one I can take adventures with and make memories for a lifetime. The one I can call at 3a.m because I had a nightmare or to simply hear your voice. The one I can take pictures with (silly or not) because you know photography is one of my favorite things. The one I can just look at and admire how handsome you are OR the one I catch staring at me when I glance over to look at you. The one that can communicate with me by just staring into each other’s eyes. The one that shows me passion, boundless and everlasting love; even if it’s just a text saying how much you love me.

You are the one I have wanted all along and to be able to call you mine gives me the most amazing feeling in the world. To know that my lover is my best friend means everything to me and to know that we both want to share our lives together makes it even more worthwhile. We’ve already been through a lot and always keep moving forward and continue to love each other. And that’s the beauty of love…. To surpass any obstacles that may come our way and to continue loving unconditionally. Every second we spend together, I truly cherish.

Thank you for being you, making me feel so special and for giving me your friendship and your supportive, sarcastic, happy, understanding, pure and sweet love.

I love you forever.

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.

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

Michael Sam

Michael Sam

There’s so much talk going on about Michael Sam and him being openly gay. I don’t see why this is such a huge deal. Reading this article didn’t make me feel too easy about this whole situation.

The hottest selling rookie jersey in the NFL is Johnny Manziel’s. The second best-selling is Sam’s. It turns out NFL fans can’t wait to buy — and presumably wear — the jersey of a gay man. Who would have predicted that?

The jersey of a gay man…. Sam is human, you know. It’s not like something is drastically wrong with him. So what if people want to wear his jersey. I guess I am just happy that Sam is being open about his identity going on with his life, but what bothers me is how some people react to his situation or any other LGBTQ issues. I was also watching the news when I was on break not too long ago and they were talking about Sam being drafted and “The Kiss” (he kissed his partner and it’s on video). I am pretty sure if it was heterosexual couple showing any type of affection, then it would not be such a huge deal. I feel like social issues like these should be talked about considering that most people do not like talking about it and simply brush it off. It is part of our culture and our society. But I do have to admit that I am glad Michael Sam is being viewed as a positive and influential role model for those who struggle with “coming out” etc… What do you all think?

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.

x,

Dee 

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.
x, Dee

Bare

I’m one to love make up, but having my face completely bare and to still have him look me in my eyes and tell me I’m pretty.. makes my heart smile.

Special

I don’t know what you do or what you say to make me feel so special.

Today was amazing.

I went to drop off my final this morning and after that I went on a peaceful nature walk with my Jake. It was just what I needed, especially this week because it’s been so stressful with finals, etc. I can’t wait to go back there and explore more trails.

The trail we walked today.

After that, we went to my place and as I was working on a final paper, he stayed with me until I finished and actually helped me stay on track. His presence being in the same room as mine was enough for me. After that we went for a Starbucks run to come back and just watch some T.V and just chill….It’s also so awesome how welcoming my family makes him feel. Everything has just fallen into place so greatly. I don’t know what I did to deserve this, but I don’t want this feeling to ever go away. I am so thankful for everything thus far.. and if you’re reading this JDC, just know that you mean the world and more to me. Finally found someone who understands my weirdness and can joke around with, but at the same time appreciates my love and corny words.  Don’t kill me for posting these silly pics of us on here, but I couldn’t help it. Days like these are the ones I cherish the most. xoxo

 

Because we’re goofballs and we love it.

Until the next post peeps. Hope you all had an amazing day & thanks for keeping up with Dee 😉

 

 

 

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the thinnest one of all?

There is such an obsession over what the ideal woman body figure should look like. But why!? Either you are too skinny, too fat and if you’re in between then girl, you better tone it up. UNDER CONSTRUCTION. That is what the woman body is, I mean it can also be for men, but I’m focusing on women right now. Do you notice that most ads from the media are targeted at women? The media has a great way of delivering messages whether it is through ads, commercial, magazines and even in social media which leads to targeting a wide range of an audience. Those who are considered to be skinny also struggle because now they are being used as the stereotype and in reality, some of them are trying to gain weight. Trust me, I know some women who try to gain weight and I know some who are trying to lose weight; the struggle is practically the same. Now, have you heard of the thigh gap?

 

You would have to lose and EXCESSIVE amount of weight so that there would be an actual gap between your thighs. This is supposed to be “sexy”. Well, at least Beyoncé agrees that the thigh gap isn’t a problem…. but what if social media didn’t exist? How do you think things would be? Because I know that the media sure has a way of trying to put different ideals in our head and not just about weight; the list goes on. This is just an example and some thinking that I was doing earlier. I think where I am trying to get with this is that everyone is different shapes and sizes and it should be embraced. I hate hearing stories of women trying to lose weight or “be fit” and end up with some type of eating disorder. I personally have been struggling with weight and I try to be as positive as possible. I’ve had crazy thoughts run through my head at times, but I remember that patience is key. I just feel like there is this constant pressure with the way society has been built and delivering certain messages. Anywho, I am done ranting….for now.
