There’s something about Christmas trees, twinkling lights, Santa hats, ringing bells, and hot cocoa/coffee drinks that warms your heart. Sometimes milling around downtown, you realize how many people may have forgotten the true meaning of Christmas. Its not about stressing over what gifts to get people or sending out letters/cards on time, nor is it about waiting for it to pass faster because its such a busy and hectic time. Spending time with the ones closest to you and taking the time to realize how grateful you are for them is what Christmas is truly about. Reach out to do something for someone else and take the time to brighten someone else’s day. The holidays aren’t about yourself, it’s about appreciating the loved ones you treasure most and expressing that gratitude.
This Christmas I was reminded of what it feels like to truly spend time with the family again. And which friends truly matter the most.
Friends and family: you mean the world to me. Without you, I don’t know what or where I would be. Thank you <3

I need some motivation these days.
In the end its all me. There’s no one to blame but myself. Why I do this to myself, I really don’t know. Seems like the lesson hasn’t been learned the first, second, or third time.
Maybe it’s from a case of wishful thinking, because I always hang on to that slight chance of possibility, hoping that the same thing doesn’t happen. Well maybe it’s time to not be so vulnerable and not hang on to that possibility so quickly.
Toughen up soldier.



I believe I have a slight obsession with doing nails and making them sparkly these days.
