What Is Love?

Love is unconditional. Love is caring about someone else as much as you care about your self<3 p="">Love is when you become a part of each other.when your mate is like ur flesh your blood. you'd never curse yourself out, lie to yourself, treat yourself bad,harm yourself.. you may protect, provide and take a good strong hold, when love isn't reciprocal it is not love. I thought this video is beautiful, it's lovely; it is love.

History in the Making--Darius Rucker

Silly little bands

I tend to give every piece of jewelry I own a meaning. I don't wear anything for pretty. Why own something meaningless. This little hobby of mine can relate alot to the story "neat people versus sloppy people". I would put my self under the category of "sloppy people". A lot of the neat people that I know are really lazy. My mother for instance, she has a really neat room, keeps the kitchen tidy and all, when she's done she rather sleep or watch tv rather than do many productive things. I on the other hand, have trouble finding time to put my laundry away. I just leave it in a bucket in my closet and iron it when I feel the necessity to used a particular item of clothing. So i've been wearing my little silly bands lately and have precisely just wore two dinosaurs. I decited to give them the meaning that the two dinosaurs will represent my threefold utopian dream. It gave me hope that someday i'd find that and i'd get to give the other dinosaur to a significant other. So I wore my silly bands proudly until; I was on my Ruby Tuesday shift and I was asked "what are your silly bands?" I had to give one away to the little 10 year old year that asked me nicely "can I trade you a star for a dinosaur?" Knowing me I had to do what I had to do. How can I say no to a little girl? I say things happen for a reason. Well see where my little dinosaur end up.

moment of clarity.

Very rarely do I get these m0ments, they are the moments that for some reason stay stuck in my heart and in my mind for years. These moments that I tressure with my life that make me the person that I am today. Moments that give me the grin I get when I recall my life in almost an instant. When I think about who I am as a whole person? Why I chose the path I decided to strive for? Who are my friends and what is the most important things I value. I feel a daze.
Typically, there is no secret that I am introverted and have plenty of time to think about many things, but during my days in summer school of 2006, I had a moment of clarity. I had an all around aspect of what are my goals, what are my dreams, and I acknowledged what are my failures. I obviously failed a couple of classes in high school, but I really thank who ever made summer school a plan b for kids like me. I was taking an aerobics class with Mrs. Holden, one of the main tecahers that I admire, not just because she was a great teacher, but because she was just one of the few greatest people I have ever met. I guess, consider her heroic to my eyes. I would observe the way she carried herself and it really reflected me and who I would like to be when I grew up. So i started then, I join clubs, I tried my hardest to ace every class that I had my self-conciousness went straight to the garbage. So i've let things get in my way in the pass and never had the confidence to even intent to try my hardest because I felt I would fall down and never get up. I fear failure, I fear to stay alone and most importantly I fear leaving this life without ever trying my hardest or without being the best version of me that I could possibly be. My moment of clarity happend that year, when the sun was blazing I had a gallon of water to my reach, I was soaking it in like if I was soaking up my intire life. It happend when I saw the my reflection in Mrs.Holden when I observed her as she opened the doors to the classroom.

jogging

Jogging is my favorite hobby. Whenever i have free time I go the nearby park to jog my lungs off. Breathing deep while concentrating on a beautiful scenery is the best way to release stress. I enjoy jogging because it gives me great physical results; it targets your abdominals and makes your legs really strong. I do this whenever I need an escape, it is so easy, enjoyable and also affordable. Beats buying a pack of cigarettes with the bad health problems it causes. Over the years, with work and all, my size 5 feet can only handle so much so I have to just adjust to walking or jogging unlike I used to do before when I used to run track. The scenery around my neighborhood is really peaceful, the sun setting , the families and their kids just having a great time and atheletes enjoying what they love to do; It is really nice. I like to be alone sometimes, I stay away from big crowds, big events that include drugs, sex and peer pressure. Here I don't know none of that. When I was little I would see all the old people jog at the park and always wanted to know how that felt. Lazy people call it a waist of time, not pleasing or too hard to dedicate to, but to me it is easy as breathing. This is my hobby and i wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.

courage

People keep their guard up because of fear. Fear of rejection, fear of putting yourself out there, failure of not succeding and not being able to pick up the pieces. I am one of them I fathem the amount of times that I have placed my guard up so high in order not to feel pain. Sometimes I feel like i miss out on life because i settle for comfort. I sometimes avoid people because of fear that i wont fit in. I fear learning new things and not having the courage to stand up for what i believe in. During the civil rights movement Dr Martin Luthur King jr was more than that and spoke his mind to the world fearless. I admire people like him, people who arn't afraid to speak their mind. He helped the negros get freed by one speech that caused him his life.

pressure

As I read the essay on "college pressures", I never thought about it before until the past week. I had difficulting understanding how to make fraction quivalent and I have been struggling with that chapter since I was in 6th grade and now that I am taking arithmetics; I have been stressing it all semester. I had the biggest panic attack and high blood pressure because I was scared that I wasn't going to be able to pass my class. I was upset and unpleased that I understand algebra to the fullest and I couldn't possibly find a way to master fractions. I was nervous all day thinking about not passing, not succeding and failing at life. I crashed and burned. School is so important to me. With work and resently my second job, family and school I was overwhelmed and needed to find a solution. I did. I quit my job at Forever 21 and remained with only one. My great co-worker Denise really helped me master fractions in less than a 5 minutes as we set a dte for studing. Tutors have been at it to help me and I just simply didn't comprehend. College does bring alot of pressure in everyway now that I think about it, but it's worth it.
