I have such a huge crush on her
“Mad was the last kid I saw and he was asleep. He was 3 months old and they put him in my arms and he stayed asleep and they put him in the bath and he stayed asleep and I thought he was narcoleptic or something. Then he opened his eyes and just stared at me for the longest time and I just stared at him and I started crying and he smiled. And it wasn’t that he smiled that he liked me, it was just that I hadn’t held children in my life and I was always considered so dark and I always had so many things that made me feel like maybe I shouldn’t be somebody’s mom because certainly the world has an opinion of me and I’m not so sure about myself and am I gonna be the best mom? So the fact that this little kid seemed at ease gave me the courage to feel like I could make him happy. And so we became a family right then.” — Angelina Jolie
World’s Most Beautiful Abandoned Places
Italian product manager and web designer Francesco Mugnai recently added a collection of images to his blog touting some of the most beautiful images of abandoned spots and modern ruins that he’d ever seen. The images Mugnai has captured come from empty castles, shuttered power plants, and dilapidated churches around the world. From a sunken yacht in Antarctica to a forever-closed amusement park in Japan, these images all make up a sort of anti-phoenix; rather than rising as new from the ashes, these husks remain preserved in decomposition, forcing viewers to confront the strange beauty of ruination.
Arhhh, this would be the most ideal perfect date for me - to go sight seeing for stuff like this! After I’ve taken Anthropology last year, I realized just how much I wanted to travel the world! There’s so much to see in so little time!!
This is a right way to observe wild animals, they should not be kept captive in zoos.
This past week helped me grasp a lot of things I was unable to see due to pure ignorance. I realized that we don’t always have to be strong. Sometimes it is our strength that is expressed in vulnerability and that it is okay to fall apart in order to regroup ourselves and stay on track. I thought I was feeling belittled, I thought I was feeling oblivious towards, I thought I was being passed down like a bag of hand-me down clothes just waiting for the next available owner and much more. Not only then but I decided to take a couple days off for myself just to get my head together. Words were being thrown at one another like daggers and you can just tell, you can just tell that the minute it came out of our mouths - we regretted every single word because we simply couldn’t take it back after it had already been said. I realized a lot this past week though. I realized how truly blessed I am to have such a loving and supportive boyfriend who willingly stands by my side. It’s just that this past week, I realized that I seriously have the best boyfriend in the entire world and that I would never trade the bond we have for anything. Nothing at all.

I’m scared. I’m scared he’ll just get up without saying a word and never turn back.
I find it so weird how things are suddenly falling back in to place. It all happened out of no where and I really don’t how I should be feeling about it. I vow to put my guard up this time after had realizing that I can’t trust anyone anymore. The thing is with me, I forgive and forget so easily that people tend to take advantage of that and it’s not fair. Trust NO bitch Monica! In the end, if it’s what makes him happy, I should be there to support him 100% percent of the way. Although I must say, I am having doubts. That somehow he’ll be pressured, poisoned, manipulated in to thinking something and will do a complete 180. That he …. wouldn’t come back.

Sometimes I wish you would just grab me by the waist, look deep in to my eyes and say that you never want to let me go making me believe you tell no lies. Lately, I have been engrossed with forsaken thoughts that obscure my vision of what is right and what is wrong leaving me desolated in my own world with no one to turn to for help. Countless days go by and not one word is uttered out of your mouth. I often ask myself questions I regretfully ask just moments later and somehow these tears manage to always fall down the sides of my face. I’m quickly growing weary of having my thoughts on one corner of my heart’s map when I should be sharing my heart with the world. If only you cared.
It’s official! I officially changed majors the other day. You can now consider me a nursing major :)
Eh, after taking quarters off or taking 1 class a quarter I’m finally moving in the right direction. I don’t have that much left to go before I can start my CNA training. Did I mention how freaking expensive it was to do so? It’s all good in the hood - wait till I start making bank after I become a fully pledged nurse. Jkjk. I can’t wait to start doing some hands on training! EEK! Spring quarter, hurry up!
… because I’ve been thinking way too much; probably too much for me to even handle. Tomorrow I get to speak with an admissions adviser to talk about my academic path. I won’t exactly post what my plan is just yet because I want to make sure everything is 100% correct + positive before I give out any deets about it. I get to find out in about 12 hours! I’m super anxious and excited at the same time. I’m that much closer to accomplishing my goals!
I think it’s funny going through my old posts from years ago & I think to myself “Ew. Did I really say that? WHY?”. Anyways, I’ve been really caught up with school and have recently realized that as the days go by, I don’t want these memories from my life to fade away. What’s better than putting it on tumblr? Boom! - which explains why I’m back. I like the fact that I can have my own little sanctuary especially when it’s something I can look back at and reminisce about the past. I guess from here on out, I’ll be writing more about my days and other junk. Perhaps, I should start cleaning out my following list so I can start afresh. Eh? Sounds good to me.
