Perfect.....

So this morning I was in my car driving to work, when I heard the song F**k'n Perfect by Pink playing on the radio. I don't normally like Pink, but this song caught my guard because of the lyrics. When I got into work I decided to check out the video - and lo and behold the video itself was pretty gruesome.

The video basically depicted the importance of finding happiness within yourself, and not changing yourself to make someone else happy. Whoever is in your life should always accept you for who you are. With that being said, it's always hard to do this given how media portrays true beauty, and how as human beings we always want to be accepted by everyone.

At the end of the day though - I think I'd very much rather be myself - I know that I will always have a little bit of self esteem issues given circumstances with my family and also past experiences...but hey - I'm trying. I'd rather have ppl in my life who accept me for who I am and who will always want the best for me. Life is just too short to try and please everybody else. We have to remember that by nature I think humans just like to focus on negativity...and it's not on purpose - we just have a tendency to forget about the positives.

It's important who you choose to surround you - these people should love you for who you are and should always support you. Especially your lover!! It is these people who will cry for you when you cry and laugh when you laugh. It's these people that will make a difference in your life....

Just when you think you have a favorite cupcake - someone throws you another one in the mix and totally throws that out of whack.

Sorry I haven't been able to update this blog for some time now. It's just been so busy at work and also with personal life...and yes I don't have a PC at home so it's not like I can just go on the computer at home and update.....lol.

This past week I've been telling my friend - probably at least once a day - that you can't control everything in life. Sometimes you just gotta take one day at a time and go with it - make the best of each day and fight the little battles within each day. At the same time we all need to try to balance between accomplishing the short term goals all the while thinking of the long term goals. As I've always mentioned in the past, certain things happen for a reason - and if we dont' look at each of these things we might be missing out on a great lesson here.....

On the same token - while I preach all of this information to my friend, I know that I am a hypocrite. I myself find that I always need to have control. When I say this - I don't mean in relationships. I mean with life in general. I like to be prepared and think of all possible outcomes/scenarios which thereby helps deal with any hurt/pain that might come my way. I try very hard not to be like this but every once in awhile the need for avoidance of pain surpasses the opportunity for some growth - and it shouldn't be like that. Life doesn't throw things to you that you can't handle. It is so very important to experience all different types of emotions because it helps you comprehend yourself better and also helps you grow and appreciate the times where you have true joy and happiness.

I have to admit that I am currently terrified of certain things in my life - but I'm fully willing to take the risk and each experience as they come.

:)))) - Thank You
