<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">As I was waiting for the last hour of work to roll on by, I decided to read up on some of my past posts. It's been more than a while since I've given any attention to this blog and it was long overdue. Interesting enough, I found a couple of posts where I was truly at a crossroads in my life. Reading the thoughts that I once felt took me back to that time when I could not see the light at the end of the tunnel. Its wonderful to use writing as a way to document your journeys in life, and in return it allows you to go back and see the real growth of ones existence. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Almost a year later, I can say I am in such a great place. All of those trials I went thru last year did in fact happen for a reason. At that point, all I could see was the pain and agony of what I was going thru but in reality it set me up for where I am at today. Had I not experienced all those things, I probably would be stuck in that 8 year relationship still holding on by a thread. As much as I will always love my ex, he and I were not meant to be together, forever. We were kids, who grew up together, and in turn, held on to the memories along the way. We were scared to venture off to others, and when we did, we always ran back to each other. After a few infidelities, I finally smartened up and realized that this would be my life if I didn't make a permanent change. It took a lot of courage and tears to finally leave, but I did. I took the time to figure out what I wanted, let alone needed. I found myself, and am still very much on that journey.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I am now embarking on a new relationship with a man who is equal to me. If anything, he motivates me to be a better woman and I can honestly say he completes me. I am trying my hardest not to allow my past relationship effect my new relationship as there are in fact two different men. Am I tainted? Yes. I was lied to and cheated on more than once and I now have a hard time trusting anyone. Will I let that get in the way? Absolutely not. It would be the biggest mistake of my life if I were to allow the fear of getting hurt keep me from falling in love. This man is wonderful in so many ways and has truly showed me what a partnership is really about. The funny thing is that it is still the beginning, so there is still so much more to come...if I allow it.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Actually this past week was a big one for me. I made some significant changes in my life that will allow more love and opportunities to flow thru and I couldn't be happier. After a long time, I am finally excited about my future. I now think about marriage, kids, the whole nine...where as before...It just was not even a thought. There is still so much to be revealed as I grow into the woman that I am destined to be and I am doing it all with no regrets, or hesitance!</div><br />

I've tried to be patient and give you the benefit of the doubt. I guess not hearing back from you after this long should have given me a clue long ago. Even still, I refuse to think I am naive and instead believe in what you told me. You told me a lot, and I believed it. I still do in some way. I would like to think that a good part of who I am still believes in people, hoping to see the best of ones self. I saw that in you. I guess I wanted to believe you were different because I could see thru that harsh exterior you portray, except I'm not sure which one is the real you...<br />
I was hoping that you would appear, eventually. I wanted to believe what we had was real and it could blossom into something amazing. That one day, in the future, you and I could have a future together. You told me you wanted more than just a friendship with me and I did too. Who really knows if that was ever a possibility, but the moments I shared with you allowed me to believe so. I know that we have both changed from what we once were, and life is much more complicated than we can imagine, but no matter how much I try to deny what I feel, It's real. It's realer than anything else I've ever known. Instead of denying it, I have accepted it for what it is. It was comforting and amazing. It was beautiful and I would much rather remember you like that then this...<br />
<br />
I've finally came to the conclusion after much thought that everything happens for a reason. I mean I've always known that but the stubborn side of me wanted you and I didn't want to let you go. I can't wish something into existence if it's simply not meant to be and I certainly can't convince you to feel something you clearly do not. Just like you told me you can't convince me to be with you, or to let go of my past to move on to you, my possible future, I had to realize that on my own... and I did. You were the one that I wanted to build something with and thrive off of each others success. I'm not sure if it was too late by the time I figured it all out or not good timing but it's all pointless now. I may not know exactly what the reason of you coming back into my life was but I did learn what I want, and what I don't want. Thank you for coming back into my life once again to show me this. To open me up to something that I yearn for one day. I had a connection with you that I hope I will have with my future partner. I'm not sure if you have read any of the letters that I have sent you, but they are the rawest form of my emotions. I have never been so open with my thoughts to another but it allowed me to express how I really felt. I don't regret not one word that I have wrote, spoke or felt. It's real and I felt them for a reason. Maybe all these emotions pushed you farther away. Maybe I should have pretended not to care and maybe you would be here. Either way, that wasn't how I really felt and I can't be fake. It's just not me. As much as I am affected from this short chapter in my life, I will never forget it or you. In the end, I know I tried. I know that after everything, no matter how hurt I felt, I reached out and put all my ego aside and laid my true feelings on the table. It was hard, but I did it. If nothing else, I tried to hold you down and love you.<br />
<br />
No matter what, we have been friends for years, and I will never let that go. You will always hold something special in my heart. I will continue to keep you in my thoughts and I wish nothing but the best for you and yours.<br />
<br />
No clue what the lesson was here, but I suppose I will figure it out sooner than later.Thttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17573499432887047341noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869866944652667197.post-76576441481647981972010-12-04T15:46:00.001-08:002010-12-04T15:47:24.849-08:00Easy Peasy...<a href="http://missdessa.tumblr.com/">http://missdessa.tumblr.com/</a>Thttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17573499432887047341noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869866944652667197.post-54752607735967622562010-11-08T20:02:00.000-08:002010-11-08T20:02:20.355-08:00International Style!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1f6EmwqB_tamUjulxv4_O2sFsVc1YI2BkiTwjWF3EK6wIg6LtWd9M_DJ1r0Ons5i_RjTXzUJZmq7cxaeefjdjerjZbRBUOYCRXEJPPifdr5LunKBFd5RjHmK-qgo7YroxpSo9L-9uQIyR/s1600/156419_980.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1f6EmwqB_tamUjulxv4_O2sFsVc1YI2BkiTwjWF3EK6wIg6LtWd9M_DJ1r0Ons5i_RjTXzUJZmq7cxaeefjdjerjZbRBUOYCRXEJPPifdr5LunKBFd5RjHmK-qgo7YroxpSo9L-9uQIyR/s320/156419_980.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">When you find yourself so comfortable, you tend to let go and relax. That is exactly what happened in my past relationship. I got so comfortable that I had put on some weight and stopped taking care of myself. If there is anything good that came out of my break up, it is that I am finding myself again. I got so lost in the relationship wanting to please my partner that I forgot about myself. Relationships are time consuming, but if there is one thing that I have learned from my past, don't ever forget about yourself & always make time for YOU! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">As I sit here listening to some music, I realize that this is the longest break I have taken from the blog yet. Why might you curiously ask? Well life is exactly why! It has a way of creeping up on you when you least expect it. You tend to naturally plan your life out when 9 out of 10 times, it doesn't happen the way you plan. Life is much bigger than both you and I. It has a plan for us, and no matter what we try to do, it's sticking to it's plan...and we are just a long for the ride.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">2010 thus far has been far more of an emotional roller-coaster then 2009. I thought 2009 was bad. Ha! Jokes on me I guess. So much has happened that I don't even know where to begin. I guess to make a long story short...my better half and I decided to part ways after 7 years, I went to school to become a nurse just to find out that I love fashion too much to just give up, and last but not least I am on a personal journey trying to find myself from the inside out. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">No matter how many tears I've cried in these past few months, I can't be sad for what has happened or where I am at in my life. I am here for a reason, as this is the path that will take me to where I truly belong. It has been hard and emotional to say the very least, but gives me hope for a better future. The crazy thing about life is, you never see it coming. I mean you honestly are blindsided by the events that creep up on you, and we manage to push through it. It's truly amazing to think of what is still to come. I'm sure there's going to bad and good events, but I'm mainly hoping for the good ;)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

There has been a lot of skepticism on whether he will in fact be able to top his phenomenal mixtape, </span><b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So Far Gone,</span></i></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> which could very much be mistaken has as his freshman album. It was by far one of the best mixtape & albums I've heard in a long time.</span></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><i>Thank Me Later</i></b> features some hard hitters in the music industry like <b><i>Jay Z</i></b>, <b><i>T.I.</i></b>, <b><i>Swiss Beatz</i></b>, & <b><i>The Dream,</i></b> which is bound to produce some great collabs...</span></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">As I am listening to the album as I type this, I find myself unsure whether it's a banger or not. Both of Drake's singles, </span><b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Over</span></i></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> & </span><b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Find Your Love</span></i></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> grew on me the more I heard it. I did not fall in love with it instantly, but now find myself hitting replay more than not. I have a strong feeling that I will feel the same exact way about this album the more I dissect the lyrics, beats, and bars. He did however get bonus points for using <b><i>Aaliyah's - Let Me Know</i></b> song remastered for his track <i><b>Unforgettable ft. Young Jeezy</b></i>. That beat goes hardddd!</span></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The one thing I can say for sure is that his sound is unique and innovating, which takes an eccentric ear to truly appreciate. Each song takes you down a new pathway. This is not your typical Soldier Boy shit, it's a progression of music not of its typical kind.</span></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

Since that venture started some new opportunities came a knocken and designing took far more of my time then anything else. In result, I've had to put the online store and it's growth on hold until I have some more time.

<div style="text-align: center;">There seems to be a shift in the universe lately which has made me notice a couple of things. I find that in todays society, Women seem to be taking on a different role in relationships then they did in the past. With women becoming more and more independent, I see a trend forming where they don't want nor feel the need to settle down or commit to one man. Getting married & having children are now not the epitome of a woman. Now don't get me wrong, I'm sure there are many of women who are out there that are very much looking to settle down, but overall I see a shift in how women view relationships, commitment, & monogamy. It has definitely moved down the list of priorities to say the least...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">It has been known to man that most men have some form of commitment phobia. But interesting enough, it seems as though the tables have turned in some fashion. I see more & more men wanting to settle down & commit while the women are saying <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">NO THANK YOU</span></b>. When a man wants to settle down, & commit, they are now being viewed as clingy, sensitive, and become less appeasing. These independent women don't want to be bothered with men who are clingy & sensitive so they pass it up and move on to the next. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">When did this happen? When did a man who simply likes you and chooses not to be with other women, & wants to commit to a relationship become clingy & sensitive?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">When you ask? I think when women realized that you don't need a man to be fulfilled. When women realized that most men cheat & lie, so why put yourself out there to get hurt. Why limit yourself to just one man when you can date several and not be so emotionally attached to just one who can potentially hurt you. I also think being that women are so independent now, that their careers, friends, & life are being put ahead of men & relationships in general. Something that was once on the front line has now been placed on the back burner. Women are accepting that they may not ever get married, or have children, and they're okay with that.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Is there a down side to this possible trend? Perhaps. It could go either way really... These women who pass up on these great guys may not get that opportunity again when and if they are ready. Or, if you look at it from the other spectrum, the men who finally want to commit and when they open themselves up to and get shut down might revert to their old ways indefinitely...which makes it difficult for the next woman who comes along, who then leaves a bad taste in her mouth, thus creating a vicious cycle.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Personally, I am a very independent woman who has a very demanding career. I am also involved in a serious relationship & have been for the past 7 years. There have been many times that I've struggled with balancing out the two, but in the end when you care about something enough, you put forth everything you have to keep it. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">My advice</span></b>: Not all guys are the same, as the same with women. If a person comes a long that is a great catch who wants to seriously pursue you, & your honestly ready, take a leap of faith & give it a chance. There are no guarantees in life, it can always go either way... but you will never know if you always have your guard up. Don't let past relationships determine future relationships. You can still be independent and be in a relationship, you just have to communicate your needs & wants & learn to balance out the two.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I've been catching up on old episodes of season 1 - 5 of SATC this past week which made me fall in love with the girls all over again. I forgot how much I loved this show. I remember waiting all week for sunday to come and once it was 6pm (9pm eastern) I ran upstairs, turned the TV on and would KILL anyone who disturbed me while watching the show. I wouldn't even take any phone calls while SATC was on. It was that serious. I was beyond excited to see the first movie and the second one looks even better now that Aidan's back! It would be quite ironic if she in fact cheats on Big with Aidan, when all she ever really wanted was Big in the first place. You still gotta love Carrie, with all her flaws and all!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Baskerville;">Time has a great impact on ones life. Whether that be an hour, day, week or even a year. I will be turning 25 this year and I find myself thinking about time, life, happiness, and family more than ever. Its been an ongoing search/discovery for the past 5 years. When I was younger I thought my life would be very different. I thought I had all the time in the world to do whatever, whenever I wanted. As I started to get older I started to realize this was not true. See, even though time is documented, time is still invisible. You don't find yourself staring at the clock every second of every day for the entire year. You glance at it one moment, and by the next moment you look back, that time has passed and will not return and all while not even noticing. What you did in that time may or may have not be important but it doesn't matter because that time has already passed.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Baskerville;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Baskerville;">Time is linked with everything. All of your decisions are based off of timing if you really think about it. When you wake up, sleep, shower, work , eat, go out...money, love, marriage, kids, vacations, etc. Everything revolves around time.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Baskerville;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Baskerville;">Which brings me to my question that has had me thinking lately. Is there really such a thing called good timing? There were some events that took place a few years ago in which I had to make some important decisions. I based those decisions off of timing. I felt as though it was not good timing to proceed down a certain path. Years went by and I find myself at another place where I might have to make a difficult decision. Now there is no doubt my life has changed substantially in the past few years, but I still don't find myself at the ideal timing to make that decision. When I compare the time then to the time now, it makes me wonder if there ever will be a right timing for something or is it <b>you making it the right timing for something by just doing so because that's what was destined to be??</b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Baskerville;"><b><br />
</b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Baskerville;">Time seems to be flying by in comparison to when I was younger. One being that I have much more responsibilities, the other being that life seems a lot more complicated in general. <i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-large;">Who ever said it gets easier as you get older obviously was either on drugs or delusional because they</span></i><b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-large;"> LIED</span></i></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-large;">! </span>lol</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Baskerville;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Baskerville;">Time is complex and quite difficult to figure out when pertaining to your life decisions. I'm sure as time goes by, it will have a way of working itself out in conjunction with my decisions...</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Baskerville;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Baskerville;">Do you believe in good or bad timing? Does time define us or do we define time?</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Baskerville;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Baskerville;">Anyway, I may have made absolute no sense but i believe it writing how I feel whether it makes sense or not ;)</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Baskerville;"><br />

I really didn't gain anthing per se from mother nature other then LOVING the rain. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">As I'm getting older, I have noticed a lot of things are changing about myself. Things I didn't like when I was younger I seem to LOVE now a days. One of the things I find surprising is my new found love for nature and all its simplistic beauty it has to offer.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">The other day I was in the worst mood ever driving home from work. My thoughts were racing as they usually do on my drive home, when I realized it was still light out side, and the route I take is beautiful. I usually race home because who really wants to stay on the road? but for some reason I was driving slower than usual and took in all the beauty nature had to offer. Before I knew it, my bad mood had disappeared. I was so taken back by the scenery, that my mood completely changed and I started to smile.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">How could I not smile. The mountains were fully covered with mossy green grass lighted by a bright blue sky. I felt as though I wasn't even in southern cali, it was so beautiful. I wanted to stop and take some pictures but I didn't have my camera on me so I plan to next weekend on my way home. It's crazy because I find myself taking more interest into my mothers amazing garden, asking her all kinds of questions regarding her plants, etc. Who knows I might even take us some gardening in the near future. My mother always says that gardening is the best medicine for a happy mind. Maybe I am just getting old, but I am definitely not entertained by the same things I was 5 years ago...</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">I found some pics of the back road I take home so you can get a glimpse of what I am talking about...</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The other night I was having quite the interesting conversation with </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">my guy friend and boyfriend about men and women. A rather popular </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">topic indeed, but almost always ends in confusion. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">What I realized from this conversation, which I have known for quite </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">some time, is that women speak a language men can't seem to </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">comprehend.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">For instance, my friend was telling me about a text he received from a</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">girl he was dating. Apparently, he took the message out of context </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">which I believe is one of the biggest problems when it comes to </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">men & women.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The messages go a little something like this....</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">Her: Hi, how are you?</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">Him: Hi, I'm good just have so much to do still before work. I still need to run some errands before I leave to vegas this weekend.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">Her: do you work today?</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">Him: yes</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">Her: what time?</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">Him: 3</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Her: you still have time take your shirt in the car</span></span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Him: Huh???</span></span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Here is where the language barrier kicks in. Most women including myself seem to speak in code, and that code being <b><i>incomplete sentences</i>. </b>As incomplete as it sounds, we still expect most to understand us. Funny thing is, when we speak incomplete sentences with other women they understand just fine. Thus creating the ongoing problem. Maybe it's because most men DO NOT pay attention to the whole conversation as they tend to tune us in and out as they please...then wonder why they are confused in the end. The combination of both leads us to a language barrier!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">My friend and his girl already have some communication issues as she tends to be hot and cold and doesn't like to express her emotions...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"><b>His interpretation of that text:</b> Obviously she was texting with someone else and she sent it to me on accident because that just made no damn sense. Maybe it was some other dude she's talking too...</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I then preceded to ask him what time she sent that text at, and he replied 9am. I then said "ummm, I don't think she was texting someone else, she was texting you retard!" LOL</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"><b>My interpretation of that text:</b> basically she was saying that you still have time to run some errands being that its 9am then and you don't go to work until 3pm. Take your uniform in the car with you and just change on your way to work so you can get your shit done in time. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">He was like <b>"ohhhhh"</b>, with a very confused/smile on his face. <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">"that might very well be what she meant, but how the fuck am I supposed understand all that with that text message."</span></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Now all my ladies who are reading this might be like <b>"DUHHHHH!!!"</b> but men seriously don't understand our language or incomplete sentences rather. What she should have wrote was "you still have time to run your errands just get ready before, take your work shirt with you in the car, and change on your way to work once your done running your errands." Thats a lot to say in a text message right? YEP! Which is why <b>I believe text messaging could be a gift but also a curse to dating!</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">When you communicate via text messaging versus a phone conversation, you can't decipher the tone, or emotion behind the words of text message as you would with a phone conversation or better yet, face to face.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This is seriously just one of the billions of examples that occur on a daily base between men & women. The sad thing is a lot of unnecessary problems occur from harmless conversations....</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">My advice to <b>men: pay attention</b>, and to <b>women: speak in complete sentences</b>, and to <b>all: less text more phone and or face to face ;) </b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I'm curious to know how others view this situation so all comments are welcome!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Yet fear can keep that treasure hidden and inaccessible. Fear of failure can keep you from taking the steps necessary to succeed. Fear of being wrong can prevent you from making the choices that are truly right for you. Fear of loss leaves you unable to win. Fear gives power and influence to whatever it is you fear. Yet fear can exist only when you view life through the narrow window of your ego. Get beyond that ego, and fear no longer has any place to inhabit. When you view the rest of life as being separate and disconnected from you, that provides fertile ground for destructive fear. The more fully you realize and the more deeply you understand your connection to all that is, the more quickly the fears will vanish.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Stop listening to your ego and you'll stop being a prisoner of fear.

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Don't be afraid to examine your weaknesses. In them you'll find some of your greatest potential. Certainly you can always make improvements to what you already do well. Yet at best, those will be incremental improvements. Consider, though, what happens when you work on overcoming your weaknesses. The results in your life can be revolutionary. In fact, transforming a weakness into a strength can make all your other strengths more effective. When the weakness is no longer holding you back, every part of your life will see the benefits. Be thankful for your strengths. And be honest about your weaknesses. For when you are clear about what you cannot yet do well, that's the first step to improvement. Any weakness can be transformed into strength when you simply have the courage to grow.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div></h1><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Y</span>ou are not a victim of circumstance. You are a beneficiary of possibility.Difficult conditions do not impose a burden. They deliver opportunity, in great abundance. No matter what happens or what fails to happen, there is always a kernel of goodness and positive possibility to be found. Decide to see it, decide to harness it, decide to make the most of it, and you will. Circumstances, as powerful and disruptive as they may be, do not have any driving purpose or intention. You, on the other hand, do. When you connect with that purpose, and energize that intention, you can bring great triumph out of any situation. With a strong and clearly defined purpose, everything becomes an opportunity.</div><div style="text-align: center;">See what is, and translate it into the best of what can be. Any time is right, when you are ready.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
