Happiness.
Everyone has their own demons that they are fighting with. Everyone is flawed in some way or another. I always felt like my life would begin once I became skinny. I always felt like once I hit a size of a “normal” girl, I would truly be happy. How naive can I be? Life does not begin once a certain goal is reached or a certain flaw is perfected. Life is now. Right now. Every moment of...

What if I’m destined to be single forever? No…that can’t possibly be true. We’re all supposed to have a soul mate, right? Isn’t that the saying or something? “Everyone has a soulmate” or whatnot. Nonetheless, with my recent bad luck with relationships or even a remote ounce of interest expressed by a member of the opposite sex, it only makes me feel like I will...

Sacrifice.
After canning with my incredible committee for THON over the weekend, I have learned a valuable lesson on sacrifice. After watching several cars pass by and smiling as several drivers rolled their windows down to donate, I have learned just how to big a small action can be. Taking a minute to search for spare change or a few bills can seem so small, but it’s small actions like those that...

Possessions.
If I buy my happiness, will I ever truly be happy? If worldly possessions temporarily fill a greater void I have inside…shouldn’t I devote time and energy into focusing on the void instead of spending money I don’t have on things I don’t need? I love shopping, yes. But, if I am more focused on impressing others and catching up to others, then I am pretty freaking pathetic. If I...

Pride
So proud of myself for just doing it. Going out there and posting a freaking video just so that I can get in the habit of doing it more often. I did it merely as a beginning of a routine and hope to maintain it and just let my music speak for itself. I also really wanna become more comfortable in front of the camera. Especially when it comes to something like singing. I feel like when I am alone...

Home Sweet Home
There is something about being home that completely satisfies and calms my soul. Maybe it’s the simplicity of the town or the smell of spices and homemade food. Maybe it’s seeing my nieces and nephews, bringing smiles on their faces, and capturing a snapshot of their precious expressions. It could be the heartfelt conversations I share with my little sister as she seeks for my advice...
Ordinary Dreams or Extraordinary Dreams?
I think anyone can dream an ordinary dream. Something safe yet ambitious. Exciting yet formulaic. To dream extraordinary dreams, however, that takes a special kind of person. A person who is willing to chase something practically intangible in hopes that their conviction and passion will result in tangibility. A person who is fearless and driven; creative and free-spirited. I wonder where I fall...

Life is a series of fortunate and unfortunate events. Life is encompassed with trials and tribulations that shape us as individuals. Life is unpredictable, and misunderstood. I’m only 18, so I haven’t really seen much. But, I’ve seen and learned enough so far. Today, I’m a stronger person. I’m a better person. Today, I’m certain of...

I had a dream...
No, this isn’t going to be a version of Martin Luther King Jr.’s infamous speech. Instead, I had a dream about something less revolutionary. I had a dream about my ex, or whatever one would like to label him as he was clearly uninterested in labels at the time. It was a vivid, gut-wrenching, emotional dream and I found myself caught in a web of remorse and anguish laced with just a...

Liars.
Liars, what an interesting breed. Don’t talk about me, talk to me. Don’t judge me, understand me. Don’t act loyal to me, but then whisper about me behind my back. Lying, judging, assuming, hating; these are all such wasteful activities. Don’t act like you’re eager to spend time with me, while you seem apathetic about me with others. Don’t act like we’re...
So although I am in UP, I am having a fabulous time so far hanging out with friends and enjoying syllabus week. I guess in my mind I feel as though I should have a fanfreakingtastic semester before I bid farewell to UP & say aloha to YCP. (:
Departure
I leave tomorrow, and am honestly not too excited about it. However, I have to make the most of it. I still need to turn lemons into lemonade. I still need to develop lasting friendships and enjoy my time spent at UP. Besides, there are so many fun-filled events to fill up my time at school, including THON. I have such awesome friends who are willing to assist me in my musical journey, so why...
