Feels like forever ....

Once again I have slacked on the writing. I have been busy with work and trying to figure out how to get my life going, meaning getting my shit together! ha ha. So this past week and a bit, I have been trying to figure out what to write about and how to start. A little "writers block" you could say. Happens to the best of us, this I know. I have accumulated all sorts of beautiful images since I have found a new site that makes me smile and dream all at the same time! Fun right! SOOoo to start off I am going to post some of my favorites and promise to do so until I can get the new and improved site up and going and all the little lovely links working. I also plan to do some serious "Blogging For Dummies" research as I have some SERIOUS Blogger envy going on here! lol. 

1. I want a vintage cruiser bike with a basket so bad!! 


2. Such a wonderful tattoo <3


3. What a concept!


4. I wouldn't mind being alone in a forest like this <3


5. Words ... noting but LoVe


6. A voice lost but not forgotten R.I.P Amy Winehouse


7. One Day <3


8. This looks refreshing, I would totally do this.


9. Lights make the darkness shine beautifully.




10. Make a wish.







Good night world... till we meet again,

I've Learned...

 
I've Learned. . .

I've learned. . . that we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.

I've learned. . . that no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.

I've learned. . . that true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.

I've learned. . . that you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.

I've learned. . . that it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.

I've learned. . . that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.

I've learned. . . that you can keep going long after you can't.

I've learned. . . that we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.

I've learned. . . that either you control your attitude or it controls you.

I've learned. . . that regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades and there had better be something else to take its place.

I've learned. . . that heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.

I've learned. . . that money is a lousy way of keeping score.

I've learned. . . that my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time.

I've learned. . . that sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down, will be the ones to help you get back up.

I've learned. . . that sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.

I've learned. . . that just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.

I've learned. . . that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.

I've learned. . . that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.

I've learned. . . that no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief.

I've learned. . . that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.

I've learned. . . that just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other. And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do.

I've learned. . . that you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret. It could change your life forever.

I've learned. . . that two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.

I've learned. . . that your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even know you.

I've learned. . . that even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you you will find the strength to help.

I've learned. . . that credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.

I've learned. . . that the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon.

I've also learned. . . that not living your life to the fullest and cherishing every moment that comes your way, ages you and breaks you. So live for the moment.
 



Learning can be fun.... and worth it <3

Happy Birthday Canada

Better Late than never <3 Happy 142nd Birthday My Dear Country xoxo

D.O.B: July 1st 1867





 "O Canada! Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North, strong and free!
From far and wide, O Canada,
We stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free !
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee."

- Blonde xoxo

I feel like .......


Today I feel like crying. I feel like screaming. I feel hurt by someone I have never met in my life. Why do people feel the need to be so cruel? To want to hurt and spread rumors about someone they do not even know? Is there some kind of joy in doing this that I am missing out on? 

This month has been rough. I haven't written anything, I haven't read anything. I have completely put aside the things I enjoy most because I cannot think straight. I feel a bit out of breath.... and I am gasping to get it back. Normally I am a strong person. I have made a habit out of reminding myself " Esto Tambien Pasara ", This Too Shall Pass. And my worries eventually fade and a smile slowly returns. But sometimes I don't feel like being strong. And I am beginning to think that it is okay not to be okay. I can scream if I want too, Cry till I can't produce anymore tears, and sit in silence to gather my thoughts when I'm through.

It's okay, I will overcome this, I'll pull through..... because I have too.





With my heart on her sleeve,

Blonde <3 


 

* Inspired by feathers *

Feathers, so light, delicate ... careless. They float on the breath of a cool breeze and tiny ( and sometimes LARGE ) birds. To know what it would like to feel almost weightless. To lift your feet and fly away, far..far awayWould this not be heaven or something quite close?

Here are some of my monthly favorites <3


 Something I try and tell myself every morning.










Your loving,
Blonde <3 xoxo
