What's Romance?

Im not too sure!

Guess that's the problem huh? Yeah, i've had a few moments where a guy did something new or out of the ordinary that will always stay with me. But to be quite honest those numbers are few. What is it nowadays that i find myself asking for dates or spending most of my Friday nights with a bottle of Moscato because i dont even wanna waste my time with a guy im not interested in. I would rather "chill" by myself than with someone who acts like he doesnt know what a date is.

So what is the problem? Have dudes just gotten lazy? Have girls just gotten easy? Is it because of her that you think youre about to just skip the whole courting phase and just come to my house and "chill." That's just rude and immature. We are not in highschool, and in my opinion showing you really like someone is putting thought into showing them a good time, as well as getting to know them. Making time in your schedule to do something as small as going to get a couple drinks goes long way.

Is it too much to surprise a bish? To come up with something all on your own, eliminating the whole, "well what you wanna do? well what you wanna do?" conversation. Romance to me is just putting in some effort to give me a chance to get all pretty and not have to do anything but show up. Atlanta is so huge and there are so many things to do and some of them dont even cost money if that's the problem. The park is free fellas!

If your schedule is too much and you can never find the time. Come up with something else to make her smile. It could be as simple as some flowers or a card to tell her how you feel if you cant show her. If you're able, plan something she can do on her own like a spa day or even just picking up her favorite movies and candy. It really is the thought that counts and it really doesnt take much! And if you make her happy, she will make you happy. ;-)

*sigh* ....SMH

Know Your Worth

"Your self worth determines your net worth"

Today i wanna talk a little about self worth. And it doesnt have to necessarily be about a romantic relationship; this can be used in friendships and even your career. You have to know your worth people! You have to know what you deserve and know that there are people and places that are going to recognize that and treat you accordingly. You also have to be able to walk away from a situation that you believe is treating you like or offering you less than you deserve.

Knowing your self worth, to me, begins with figuring out what it is that you want. Whatever that is in a relationship or a friendship or even a career is important in choosing the right people to surround yourself with and the right jobs to take. Once you know what you want, you need to make sure all your ish is in order so you not asking for more than your giving. You have to work hard to show people youre worth that extra mile or that extra dollar. You cant be half steppin talkin bout how much you're worth. Sorry basic bish.

If youre doin what your supposed to be doing, it will be easy for someone to see your worth and make a decision to do whatever it takes to lock you in. And if they dont, it just means THEY werent worth it. This really irks me when looking for jobs. Some companies always wanna give you the minimum instead of recognizing your worth. Does a candidate with a degree and five years experience deserve 8 something an hour?? Kill yourself

All in all, in any situation, know your worth and be able to walk away from a situation that's not providing you with that. It may be hard to turn down a job you really need, or let go of any type of relationship you want to work, but you will feel better about yourself in the long run. In the future, this will leave you available for a better opportunity that may present itself. And dont worry, the people and places that are worth it, will come around. So start demanding more and you will get more. Good day :-)

Just Put It on Repeat

Im clearly on a role today =D


Anywho.... you ever was so done with somebody?! Like you just knew you was never gonna talk to them again and you hated their stinkin guts?? Ya'll went back and forth through so much crap and you neveeeeeeer thought ya'll could make it. This relationship had more curves and ups and downs than Six Flags and you were beginning to think ya'll just werent meant to be in each other's life??..............Then you realize how many times youve felt that way? lol

You ever had a person that just drove you crazy but you were always willing to give it another chance? You know even when you sayin you hate them, you really dont feel that way? Its just they make you so mad, and you get so fed up you give up on the whole situation hoping in the back of your mind it can eventually be fixed. And then ofcourse like always you give it another chance like its not gonna end up like the last 10,000 times! ;-)

When is it the time to give up?? I cant answer that for ya'll lol I dont damn know. What i do know is, its just like that with some people. Its okay to hope things can change, even if its only on the back of your mind. Dream on dreamers! Hope on my hopeful few! lol Take your break and get yourself ready for the next go round....cause you know its coming. Just accept it and try to learn from the mistakes so atleast youre not making the same ones.

Dont be really tryna remove the person from your whole life cause its a pain adding the person back once you make up lol Just realize yall have that crazy relationship your friends try to pretend they know nothin about and get over it. And no these situations dont always end up like yo want them to, but when you're able to look back on it and laugh, you'll realize it was totally worth it ;-)

Friends!

How Many of Us Have Them?? ;-)

I do! I do! I do! And I luv them so much lol They keep me laughin even when i dont want to and i really do appreciate them for it! Some of them are like family and some of them ive just met but all in all Im happy to have them around for the good and the bad times! Although i feel like im losing a couple people in the friend circle, Im okay with that.

Friendships are just like any other relationship: sometimes you just grow apart. Sometimes you just realize you dont like the same things about that person you did five years ago. you could realize they have a few character traits you dont want in a friend. Or hey, maybe youve changed and they cant appreciate it. Either way, some people arent meant to be around forever. And even if you drift apart from a friend, doesnt meant you have to dislike each other, you just dont talk to them or hang with them as often.

Other times, you realize you do miss having that old friend around and decide to patch things up. Maybe you had a little spat with someone and decided to end your friendship, then somekinda way they creep back into your life. You can decide thats a good thing. Sometimes you just need a break from some people but it doesnt meant they're gone forever. The best friends are the ones you dont have to talk to all the time but know when you really need them, you can call em up!

Either way it goes, Im really happy with my friend circle at the moment and i wouldnt have it any other way! =) Some people I talk to more than others and some can go to hell lol but either way i luv them all in their own special way and I am glad to have people to chill with and argue with, and act a damn fool on twitter with ahahahaaa! You guys are the best and I just wanted to let ya know tavy DOES luv u! ......kay now back to bein cool B-)

Orange Soda

Dont you just love a good Crush?? ;-)


Yes, Ive been away for a while. Did ya miss me?!? Im happy. How bout you guys?? Anywho, I want to talk about crushes. Arent they cute?? Dont you love when u have a new crush. I know I do. There are so many reasons to love em, how could you not?? The excitement of something new. The anxiety of what's to come. No real feelings or strings attached, so no heartbreak. *sigh*

For starters my favorite reason I love a new crush is because that means I am officially over someone else. ;-) Yup! I personally cant fully "crush" on someone new if my heart is somewhere else. This always lets me know Im over the past if my thoughts have shifted to the new crush. If you thought it might take you foreevveeeeerrrr to get past the last one, you are very grateful to have moved on.

Another reason I love a new crush is because everything is fun all over again. Nothing is routine and you cant wait to do new things with the new boo. You're back to the romantic and fun dates, and talkin and texting all nite like you dont have no where to be in the morning! lol And Lord forbid you miss a phone call (which you try to prevent by periodically making sure your phone is on and working properly =D). And there is always a ton of stuff to talk about because your learning about someone new.

Even if a crush goes no where and you realize maybe that's all it was: a crush. You still got to experience that giddiness that makes you smile for no reason at all. You realize you can get over your past and you will continue to do so. A crush could come out of no where and could be on someone you least expected. Those are the best! Realizing you like something totally different than what you had initially thought is always good. Youre learning about yourself and that's some good education! ;-) So to quote one of my fave commercials "Stay thirsty my friends" (but not like, parched) lol
