I am that good girl.

Finding someone to spend the rest of your life with in this generation is practically impossible. The odds are stacked against us. Sex is easier to get. Relationships are harder to hold on to. Love is a rare gift now a days. Divorce being at an all time high and marriage being at an all time low, girls like me do not stand a chance. I know a lot of women say it, and more than half believe it, but a small percent are actualy it. Being a good girl. A lady. A woman with morals and beliefs. Someone who is loyal, and respectful, and worth an honest mans time.

A lot of women say it. They are "good girls". Do all of them really mean it?

I am one of those girls that speak the gods honest truth when I say that I am one of them. I am one of those rare good girls. I know it, and everyone around me knows it.

Yes. I have my faults. I know I am not perfect. I over think and I over analyze. I set up stories in my head that are no where near the truth and my brain messes with me into believing them. I nag and sometimes whine. I yell and scream when I am upset, or hurt or angry. I can be a bitch. My jealousy and insecurities lash out more often than not. I am emotional wreck 60 percent of the time.

But with all my faults come so many more stregnths.

When I love, I love hard. I love with everything in my being. And maybe that's a fault as well. Most of you might think it's pathetic, but in my reality it's not. When I give my all to someone, I give them everything. I let go and I skydive and I free fall. It's not pathetic, it's called love. I am the most loyal, trust worthy person anyone can ever have the benefit of being with. I always put the other person first, or at least try to. I will take care of you when you're sick. I will take care of you when you're healthy. I will stick with you in your most horrific moments. I will be by your side when and if you hit rock bottom. I will be with you when money is tight or when theres no money as all. I will be your bestfriend. I will be your team mate, your partner. I will never let you go. I will be around in the happy times, and the excited times. I will be in front of you when you need me to, beside you, and behind you. I know I will be an oustanding wife, and an even more amazing mother.

Because I am a good girl.

I am that girl that your mother hopes and prays comes a long in your life. I am that girl that your friends will be jealous about because I can make you the happiest in the world.

Yes. I have plenty of faults. I will infuriate you and annoy you and push you to your limits. Some days you willl dislike me more than you like me on that specific day.

But I am that girl that will unconditionally love you.

I am that girl that if you ever let go, you will be wondering about why it didn't work out. Why we didn't try harder to fix it. I am that good girl that will stand beside you. Forever. Yes, I am that girl that also believes in Happily ever after, in forever, in fate, in destiny. I am not trying to say that I am the best and that I am perfect. I am far from that and I don't want to come out as cocky.

I just wanted to state the fact that there are still good girls out in this world.

I am that girl. I am that girl that is worth it. I am that good girl.

rant over.

15 Reasons why being short is actually better.

1. You'll always look younger than your actual age. I'll look like i'm 18 when I'm in my 30s.

2. You can be lazy and let tall people reach stuff for you.

3. Finding your way through a packed crowd is easy because you fit between anything and anyone.

4. If you're single you have a multitude of men to choose from. You can date short or tall guys! Tall girls can only date tall dudes.

5. You get drunk faster because your so short booze goes straight through you.

6. You always totally kick ass at limbo and always win!

7. Kids love you because they think you're on of them. You easily become bestfriends and they give you all their gummie snacks.

8. You can nap anywhere because you fit anywhere.

9. You're allowed to use taller people as shields from enemies and any factors (rain, sun, zombies coming towards you)

10. Taller people let you stand in front of them at concerts. While your tall friends are all the way in the back, you're holding Kenny Chesney's hand all the way in the front.

11. You don't have to do laundry as often as a tall person. Your clothes are so small you can fit a months load of laundry in one shot.

12. You can escape from awkward or uncomfortable group conversations and no one ever knows you're gone.

13. You're an amazing cuddler because you fit perfectly in everyone's arms.

14. Your feet never dangle over a bed and blankets are never not long enough.

15. Short people are actually better at just about everything in life. It's a fact.

In case you were wondering I am 4'10.

 

Now you know too much about me.

I’ve seen this blog post a time or two floating around and I thought it’s about time for a little about me post. So I may or many not have stolen it from Robyn @ Living Colorfully.

Five things I'll be doing over the next week (even though we are halfway done with the week already. Weekend where you at?)
1. Tonight I am having a girls night with my friend Ody. We are going to Cowboys. It’s a country bar and they line dance and stuff. I am really excited!
2. Saturday, Chaz and I are going to one of his really close friends Baby shower. Matt and Ally! I am especially excited about this because I haven’t seen them in a while and they are truly fun to hang out with!
3. I still have to go buy Baby Dawson his baby shower present. (Shh don’t tell Ally)
4. I need to finish decorating this weeks Life Planner page. I have been procrastinating a bit on it.
5. I plan on getting pampered on Friday. I need to wax these hairy wolfman eyebrows and get my nails did. I need it.

Four things I need to purchase
1. Everything in Hobby Lobby. Everything.
2. A winning lots of money lottery ticket.
3. Ipsy glam bag. I don’t know why I stopped purchasing them in the first place.
4. A mermaids tail with a pet Sea Turtle.

Three shows I can't wait to come back into my life (this is honestly my favorite category of the whole questionnaire)
1. Hawaii Five-O. I literally watched all 5 seasons on Netflix and CBS online in less than 2 weeks just so I would be caught up and ready for Season 6 on September 25 @ 9pm.

2. Once Upon a Time. September 27 8pm. Hello. The greatest show on the face of this universe. I can’t wait to see how Evil Emma Swan is going to be. I know this season is going to be good.

3. Greys Anatomy. Season 12. September 24 8pm. Without McDreamy?! Why? But I am excited!

 
Two reasons I'm excited for fall
1. All the Halloween movies. Transylvania 2 anyone?

2. I live in South Florida so even in the fall it is still summer for us. I’m still rocking my boots, leggings and long sleeve shirts. Comfy yet adorable.

One thing that is currently bothering me
I am happy with my life, but I wish I was doing more. I’m bothered that I still haven’t finished school and That I’m still getting paid as little as I am. I’m bothered that I haven’t traveled once this year and I am bothered that I feel I am in a little bit of a rut. I am extremely happy with my family and my boyfriend and my health. But I am a little bothered by all that other stuff.

Where have I been this past year?

 

Finding myself.

Plain and simple. I also got really bored of blogging (thats why I stopped). After years and years (ok overexagerating a bit here) of not blogging or not having an outlet for my creative juices, I want back in. So much has happened this past year. Good, bad, extremely bad, and extremely good. After 2 years of being single, I finally found a man that I can see myself with for a long time, A dear friend past away from a tragic accident, My sisters became my bestfriends, My bestfriend had a baby, etc etc. I have so many stories and so many things I want and need to write about that it's about time I get back in the game. New blog name (COMING SOON), New blog concept, New everything.

 

Sooo, I hope you stick around and come along for the ride.

25 Questions To Ask Yourself Before 2014: Part Three

 You guessed it. Part threeee ♥

21. Who do I need to forgive? (feel free to be vague in your actual post answer) Hmmm. This one is tricky. There is only one person that I think I should forgive for the sake of my own life and my own heart, but technically, I already did. Well I wouldn't say I forgave him exactly. I would say I got over it. They will never have my forgiveness because it's not possible, but I am happy that they found their happiness. That to me, me being happy for them and wishing them nothing but the best, is better than any little bit of forgiveness.
 
22. Where is it time to let go? When you know that you deserve better. Whether it's from someone or something. 

23. What old habits would I like to release? Being so emotional all the time. Sometimes I can be a boss and control them. Other times I'm just a wreck. 

24. What new habits would I like to cultivate? Being more into school. Being more organized and responsible. Just trying harder at life in general and not being so lazy all the time (:
   
25. How can I be kind to myself? I need to learn hot to focus more on myself & less on everyone else. I want to find what I am passionate about and stick to it. I need to learn when to let go and move on. I need to focus on what I deserve and not what I think I deserve. I want to be more positive and happy with myself and my outcomes. I want 2014 to be my year! 

25 Questions To Ask Yourself Before 2014: Part Two

Yuhp, onto part number two.

11. When did I feel most creatively inspired? Right after I broke up with my ex boyfriend. I splurged a little on myself and bought myself a brand spanking new camera. I really wanted to take a wack at photography but it was short lived. I haven't been motivated much since but, in 2014. I am going to give my photography business a go and really dive in it. 

12. What projects have I completed? Am I boring if I say none? ):

13. How have I procrastinated? I've been slacking in school. I know, I know. WTF Yesenia. Do good in school. Try harder. Nothing I haven't told myself before -.-

14. In what ways can I re-structure my time? This goes with #13. School. I have to make school a priority. Just like I made going to the gym a number one thing in my life, I need to put school up there. I also need to focus less on my love life and my "guy complications", and more on what I'm trying to live by. Go with the flow babe. Go with the flow & take it slow!

15. How have I allowed fear of failure to hold me back? The love department. I was hurt really bad early on this year by someone who I never expected to hurt me, but I got back on the ride of love and boom got hurt again. Oh and what do you know, I jumped right back in it, because I'm a tough bitch like that and guess what. Got hurt again. Mind you this last time wasn't much of a hurt, but more of like a confusion. Anyways, I guess it's more the fear of getting hurt again that's making my love life so complicated. I guess the fear that's really affecting me is someone elses fears of opening up to love again, but that's a whole other topic.

16. Where has self-doubt taken over? That heartbreak really screwed me up. All the little heart jabs after didn't help much either. My self-doubt became more towards myself. Am I not good enough? What did I do wrong? Why does everyone have somebody but me? (Yuhp. Back to the love stuff)

17. When have I felt the most alive? Summer. I was going out and just having fun.

18. How have I taught others to respect me? By showing everyone how independent I am. That is all.

19. How can I improve my relationships? Go with the flow. (: 

20. Have I been unfair to anyone? No. Things happen for a reason. If I ever treated you bad it is because I got treated that way by you in the first place. What goes around eventually comes around.

25 Question To Ask Yourself Before 2014: Part One

I know I am super late and far behind on this. I haven't done a link up in ages & I thought this would be a fun way to reflect on this past year. ♥ This year has been one big crazy hell of a roller coaster ride. Way to many ups and downs. More downs than ups so be it, but I honestly would not change the way it has turned out. The way I see it, is that everything happens for a reason. Whatever that reason may be, it was meant for me. 

1. What am I most proud of this year? The one main thing I am proud of this year is how independent I have become. When I was with my ex boyfriend, I depended on him for everything. I was to afraid to take the bull(s) by the horns and accomplish things on my own. He did everything for me. After we broke up, I learned that I don't need but myself and that I am a lot stronger than I gave myself credit for.

2. How can I become a better _____________? Person. I know this is cliche, but I have always prided myself in being a good person. Yes, I am a good person, but looking back I start to wonder how good of a person I really am. There is so much more that I can offer this world, and so much more I can do to be a better person.

3. Where am I feeling stuck? Stuck is an understatement at this point. As stated before,  this year hasn't been my best. I feel stuck in many different departments. The love department ): The school department, the work, photography, life in general department. 

4. Where do I need to allow myself grace? Not letting my brain or my heart over take my body. I need to find a balance! Most of the time my brain goes one way and my heart goes the complete opposite. 

 
5. Am I passionate about my career? Nope. Right now I'm just an Administrative Assistant. It's a boring job and not the least bit what I wanted to do. Then again, I still have no clue what I want my career to be.

6. What lessons have I learned? Go with the flow. Simple but understated. Life is to short to be stressed or stressing about everything. Take one day at a time. Now, I'm not saying I've mastered it. Oh no. Not even close. I am working on it though. 

7. What did my finances look like? Paycheck to Paycheck. I went from having enough money to save, to not even being able to save a dime. That's what becoming a single girl does to you. I have managed to keep a budget. I may or may not always stick to it (:

8. How did I spend my free time? Drinking. Partying. Hanging out with my girls. Falling in and out of relationships. You know, the normal 20 something year old stuff.

9. How well did I take care of my body, mind, and soul? Body? At the beginning of the year I wasn't doing so well. I ate anything and everything that had sugar and I never did exercise. Now, I basically live at the gym. I don't miss a day. Mind? It's there. I'm learning how to not over think to much. It's a process. Soul? Still trying to figure that out. The year isn't over yet.

 
10. How have I been open-minded? I am not negative Nancy anymore. I have a more positive outlook on life.
