People Just Being People

One of the complex things 2 learn about life is that people will always b who they are. We as individuals see things in our own way; w/our own eyes. Things can b viewed in similar ways but almost always the way we see things will differ from one person 2 the next. The thing about this is that it makes it difficult 2 see things from another person's point of view. It also makes accepting some1 4 who they are a challenge. As every person is different, every family is different. Each raising their offspring in different ways, w/different morals & values. Part of accepting people who r different is accepting that there is more than 1 way of seeing & doing things. Our genetic makeup & surroundings shape us & it is very easy 2 fall in2 the mindset that the way u c things is the only way. When finding it difficult 2 accept some1 4 who they r it is best 2 try 2 remember who u r & that the other person may feel the same reservations about u.
Everyday I am who I choose 2b. I make no apologies 4 that & do my best 2 gracefully accept all consequences that come w/making choices. I have been in many situations where I've felt misunderstood or ignored bc of having a different point of view. While I am still fairly young & have a lot of things left 2 learn about life, I enjoy different points of view. I value what has been instilled in me as well as others. Learning about a different way 2 look @ something is like learning about a new culture. There will b some similarities & some differences. The trick is 2 learn 2 appreciate what some1 different from u has 2 teach u. At the heart of it all u will find that the core of a person is usually the same. What they believe, what they feel & who they r IS the same, just in another language. Become fluent in more than just ur own 4 u will never fail 2b surprised!
How would u read the following sentence? What meaning do u gather from it? Discuss this w/some1 close 2 u. Their response may just make u think!

Life - A Gr8 Blessing!

There r so many things about life that should b enjoyed & yet every day we miss out on so much. The last thing any1 wants but many ppl end up w/is regrets. I feel lucky bc I believe I am young enough 2 learn early & have the time 2 do something better....differently. My main goal each & every day in my life is 2 do things in my own way. I walk forward knowing that tho some/many may only see what is b4 them, there is much more going on inside of me. It is inside of me bc I am the only 1 who can control what path I walk down. That is how life is meant 2b. Tho it is comforting 2 have ppl around u it is only u that make the choices 4 ur life. U r the 1 who will b expected 2 explain each choice. Even in the stress, pain & struggle there is happiness 2b cherished. Seek out that happiness & let the rest continue however it does. Learn 2 adapt 2 the changes of life.

I am also a believer of signs. I think there r msgs all around us in many different ways. The unfortunate part of life is that not every1 is receiving of the signs given 2 them. Tho I must admit that I often miss important ones, when I do see 1 I luv the knowledge that comes w/them. It is extremely easy 2 overlook them when u r 2 busy running thru life. Life is a walk, a journey. It is long, exhausting & requires everything inside of u. U can get lost very easily trying 2 shortcut ur way thru the uphill battles. What u may not see is that @ the top of that hill lies something that will make the trek worth it. While walking u feel like giving in, quiting....if u allow it, doubt can steer u the wrong way. Walking w/ur head held high keeping ur mind focused on getting 2 the top will allow u 2c the beauty in the discovery of what that path holds.

The most important thing 2 always remember is that everything u go thru, everything u learn & everything u experience has the ability 2 make u the best version of urself. The ups, the downs & the tears brought 2 ur life just as much as the smiles, the laughs & the joy. When u reach that point in the day where u think, "UGH! I don't kno how much more I can take!!", take a few deep breaths & look @ ur plate. Re-arange the load & remember that u already have the strength u will need, u just have 2 tap in2 it. Raise ur head & keep pressing forward bc it's inevitable that as long as u keep moving, u WILL get there.

1 Day @ A Time

One thing most people learn very early on is that time always continues. It doesn't stop 4 any1 or anything. Seconds R guaranteed 2 go by. Minutes R guaranteed 2 go by. Hours & even days, months & years. What u also learn is that all YOU can do is live time 1 moment, 1 day @ a time. No amount of time is guaranteed 2 any1 but during our time alive we can only move 1 day @ a time. It is always good 2 plan but leave room 4 life's unexpected moments. Focus on what u can do 2day & enjoy life. As the saying goes, 'God only gives us what we can handle', but what no1 tells us is that it is up 2 us how we fit it all on that plate we carry. By just piling everything on the plate will seem heavier than could b if we take the time 2 work it all in slowly. Take Ur time & soak up everything avail 4 all of us 2 learn about life. Learn how 2 use it 2 Ur advantage. Make the most of what u have. Find the beauty in the little things BC 2gether they're everything!! My hope 4 every1 is that they appreciate memories no matter how small they may seem & make the most out of Ur day =)

Day 1 ~ Welcome!!

Welcome 2 my page! :)

I'd like 2 start by telling u a bit about myself. I'm a 27yr old Puerto Rican American. I say it that way bc I am proud of being a wonderful combination of both. I am also a single mother of a BEAUTIFUL & very unique 6yr old who hasn't stopped making me smile since I saw her in my first ultra-sound pic.

In my short 27yrs of life I have been thru many things that have helped me become who I am 2day. While I am not where I thought I'd b @ my age I am blessed 2 have all that I do & look forward 2 where I have yet 2 go.

I just moved back 2 my home state which has been both a gr8 thing & stressful thing all the same. I will b returning 2 college 2 complete my degree in Accounting. I am currently residing w/my amazing mother which is not ideal but will work 4 now. I look forward 2 the ppl I meet here & hope that each of u who takes time out of ur life 2 read these blogs will find something u enjoy.

Thank u 4 stopping by, please come by again soon & feel free 2 leave comments :)
Blessings 2 U All & Ur Families!! :)
