Love defined by Urban Dictionary...
It's when they're the last thing you think about before you go to sleep and when they're the first thing you think of when you wake up, the feeling that warms your heart and leaves you overcome by a feeling of serenity.
2011--blogs written: Love Can Wait. Faith leads to the Road of Hope.
2012--blogs written: Keep Calm & Carry On, Sorry, I Have Rehearsal, Ahh, Allergies.
2013--blog written currently: Overjoyed.
I've deleted those past blogs, why? Eh, thought it would be lovely to start from scratch. I will admit that every single blog that has been written on my site has reflected life's current status. 1st: I'm extremely overjoyed to say that putting 'love' on the back burner was a wise idea. I let go of searching for love and went with the flow when it came to dating these past three years--and guess what? I found my love & he's everything I had imagined--handsome, smart, caring, and wise. I will admit again that I've been wishing for him for a couple years and those two years were worth the wait.
As for the blog: Faith leads to the Road of Hope, it turns out that faith can lead to hope. In 2012, I almost lost my dear grandmother about 8x due to her brain tumor and breast cancer. She's a true fighter, she fought a vicious war and is winning. She will never be completely cured of cancer, but she's certainly fighting to keep on living. Every day I worry about her health, but she tells me to worry about my own health..yeah, that's never going to happen. I do listen to her when it comes to overworking my body and I try to rest as much as possible for mine and her sake. Currently, I am growing out my hair to donate to Locks of Love, 10 inches of it! So far, I haven't cut my hair in 1 year and 1 month. I'm also selling books on Ebay and donating 10% of the money from each sale to St. Jude's Children Research Hospital. My grandmother is donating all her hand-made knitted hats to a local cancer research center for chemo patients to pick out and wear. She's an angel in disguise.
Onto Keep Calm & Carry On: well, I've been trying to take my own advice and relax. It's insanely difficult, because all I think about is where am I going to live, where am I going to work after graduation in 5 months?! I've decided to move back to Windsor if needed, find a random job there and save up money for a car. Once I own a car, I'll be able to get back into teching shows for local theatres and hopefully work my way up to light designing and stage managing. If all else fails, there's always bartending school. Overall, I'm trying to take one day at a time, enjoy my last semester in college, enjoy my time with friends before graduation. I'll be keeping busy with "The Seance" that opens in March..set and sound designing the show, which will be fun once I get to actually building the set and painting (the best part).
Lastly, the blog: Ah, Allergies.. well, I went from having 38 allergies to like 18 of them, which is a huge deal! Literally, I have five true allergies..the rest are food sensitivities. It's officially been a year gluten-free, which is the reason why I subtracted a ton of allergies. Going gluten-free has improved my body's health a lot, lost 30lbs, and gained a ton of muscle from exercising. Of course, I still act like Leonard from the Big Bang Theory and have his allergies--can't complain, he's a pretty neat character.
This moment: I am feeling overjoyed. Although last semester was intense designing, study wise, I am pleased to say that the only reason why I've stayed sane is because of my roommate, her cat Nala, and my boyfriend. These three have been amazing! Love them mucho!
Here's to a new year, new experiences, and hopefully good changes!! Listen to the music video below: it's the most adorable love song---
