RIIGHT?!?!

ALL SMILES

     So, I have been neglecting my blog lately. I was super busy with the fashion convention, but now it's over and it's kind of bittersweet :( . I LOVE LOVE working PROJECT!! I love the fashion/event industry, and most importantly, I love everyone that I work with from the east coast!! I will most definitely miss all of them until next season. :)
     Anyway, I'm sure you guys are wondering if I've gone out on any dates since I did say I would start to, and keep an open mind about it. Well, the answer is...............NO. LOL.. Aside from me being busy since that post, I can't help the fact that the majority of the people that I want to go on a date with are NOT from Vegas!!! Story of my life.....hahaha. But seriously, someone has caught my attention tho. <---- CHEEEESIN'!!. This was least expected, TRUST ME!! So we'll see...... lol. I don't want to share too much info about it right now, but this girl makes me SMILE a lot!! She makes me feel good. <3
     On another note, this month will be my month to catch up on ALL of my painting requests!!! I am falling behind so I do apologize to those who have requested to buy a painting from me. But I'm on it, I promise!! Ummm..that's pretty much it!! Everything from last week on have gotten sooooo much better and I've been so much happier since my emotional breakdown!! lol. I'm good...I'm feelin' good and feeling optimistic about what the rest of the year holds for me. I have the most amazing group of friends and support right now, and I feel like these new people are coming in at such a perfect time in my life. Each and every one of them is falling slowly into place in my life where they need to be. Moving on from all the negative in my past and starting all over was one of the best decisions I've made in a while, because it has open up some doors to bigger and better opportunities for me. Overall, I feel very blessed!!

Open Heart, Open Mind....

     So last night, I came to a realization, and pretty much just snapped the fuck out of it!! LOL..REALLY!! I snapped out of this emotional rollercoaster that I've been in for a while now. For actually way longer than I thought. So here it is..I thought about this all day, and I think that I want to start dating again. Am I ready you ask?? YES, MOST DEFINITELY!! Not that I've ever really dated, but after my recent breakdown, to be quite honest... it was just the closure I needed to finally MOVE THE FUCK ON!! lol I've been unhappy for way too long and have tried to make it work, over and over again and it's just NOT happening.. (apparently!!). And obviously, me hiding a rock and trying to deal with my emotions on my own isn't working so well to my advantage. It has made me realize a lot about myself tho, and it has made me more numb to bullshit. It's also made me realize how mentally strong I am to be sooooo emotionally and pathetically low and allow to bring myself out of that. Mainly all on my own, but not without the help of a few <---- [[key word..few]] awesome friends (you guys know who you are!!). You guys are theeee BEST!! THANK YOU!!!
     I'm trying this whole dating thing with an open heart, and an open mind! How do you even "date"?!?! LOL But yea...I want this to be a positive experience for me. I want to share my awesomeness to the whole entire world!!!! LOL...not really, but I do want to have fun. I want to meet new people, be stress and drama free and who knows...I may run into that "one" person who could possibly sweep me off my feet again. However, I'm going into this without any expectations WHATSOEVER. Expectations only lead to disappointments anyway. But I will set my standards high. Afterall, we all deserve to be the best and have the best. I'm pretty excited and nervous about this new adventure in my life...but I know it will open up a whole 'nother world for me to discover, and I know I know this will be good. I can feel it. <3


Goodnight world!

A Million And One Reasons to Smile

     Just the perfect way to end this horrible day of mine, and get ready to start off a GREAT new day tomorrow. This text was sent to me by one of my good friends. She and I have been talking more and more lately, and it's very comforting because she can relate to what I'm going through. She found herself going through the same struggles about 2mos ago. This is what her text msg said:

From Sender: You have to leave the city of your comfort, and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you'll discover will be wonderful. What you'll discover is yourself.

Sometimes, you have to lose yourself in order to find yourself. When we are lost, that's when we begin to understand ourselves better.

     Such a beautiful quote. And this is exactly where I found myself...lost in the wilderness of LOVE. Now, I'm on my journey to find my way back and get myself back. Thank You J.
