Take away love..

Alot of times we are forced to just take our love away from people. This doesn't neccessarily mean you don't love them any more, but you dont express your love for them. If you completely stop loving someone you will hate them, and no one wants to hate anyone, you'll waste too much energy. but simply when you take away love you're finding out what life is like without love, or a relationship. Throughout the process of taking away love you should realize who is worthy of your love,time, and energy. If all a person has to offer you is negativity, heartache, headaches, and arguments do you really want to give them your valuables? I wouldn't..Of course taking away your love is easier said than done, because old habits die hard; BUT it takes a strong mind to overcome and forge into the future. Being happy is a choice and so is being sad/hurt and if you know you're worth more never settle for less than you have too.

True Colors

A lot of people say that "when someone shows their true colors believe them." It took me a while but i've actually incoporated this prior knowledge into friendships and relationships. I've analyzed that the people we grow attached too ( particularly friends or lovers), tend to always have a characteristic that captures our attention, ultimately forming a bond between the two. But as time goes by you may began to notice things that can leave you with a question mark in their character; and it isnt until a disagreement,or a break up that u actually see that person's true colors. Need more clarity?  Well, For example, a relationship, you can be with a person for months maybe even years before you both decide it's not working and you break up. This should be a time to reflect on yourself, to get out and enjoy your life, by yourself for a while; but some people jump into another relationship. This is where they show their TRUE COLORS. When this happens, if you aren't with anyone, naturally your mind begins to wonder and you begin to question your previous relationship. " did he really like/love me? ,did I mean anything to him?", "is it time for me to enter a new relationship?" etc. it's not healthy to think like this but it happens and when it does you have to make a choice: get mad, get even, or get over it. If you get mad you are only hurting yourself, if you get even you still will be hurting yourself. why? because you are making a permanent decision based on temporary emotions. All decisions you make in your life should be for your best interest. So, with that example and those words, when someone shows their true colors  believe them and move on there is no sense in stepping out of your element for anyone EVER.

The Coldest Winter Ever!

Chicago's last blizzard in the 1960's (lake shore drive)

It’s February 2, and Chicago has experienced its first snow day in over a decade. Although it looks absolutely beautiful outside, it’s extremely cold. I am very proud to be apart of this historical event, but I am sadden by some of the tragedies that have taken place. For example, Lakeshore Drive, this was shut down due to over turned buses and stalled cars. City officials’ estimated as many as 900 cars were caught in the jam; an AP photographer at the scene counted at least 1,500. People feared starvation, and freezing to death. I wish there was something I could have done to help; Well there was one thing I prayed for their safety and well being…
