The Power of Music

Music is a funny thing. The music and the lyrics can have such a powerful effect on you in just 2-3 minutes. It can make you feel like you're on top of the world or it can tear you down about a situation. Just in 3 minutes. It can remind you of the happiest moment of your life or the worst moment of your life. It can define memory and make it mean something completely different than it actually was. Music has the power to take over your soul and change your life.

Life...

The crazy thing about life is that you can do whatever you want with it. You decide what you want to do, where you want to go, who you want to bring with you, and how you want to get there. Life is your choice. Some will chose to enjoy, while others will just endure it. And how you decide to spend your life is entirely up to you. So don't base your happiness on someone else or something else. Base your happiness on you.

i love my girl blake

Last night I attempted to put together my new dresser from Ikea, and as soon as I opened the first box (out of three) I immediately gave up. Instead I restarted the Gossip Girl series on Netflix and drank tea.

The Start of a New Beginning...

In the past five months or so I have gone through so many different changes. I graduated college, I moved out (well partially) of my college apartment and into Manayunk with my best friend, Kimmie, from high school, I broke up with my on-off boyfriend of four years, I started working full time, and I quit my serving job of two years. Needless to say I feel as though my world has been turned up side down and everything I was familiar and comfortable with changed. And with all of these changes I have found myself going through a whirl spin of emotions, most good but some definitely bad. So with this trend of endings, there also comes new beginnings, beginnings that are exciting and frightening and nerve wrecking and crazy and stupid and wild and safe and .. well you get the idea. So I decided that I wanted to document my journey through my new beginning of life - my twenties, when I am (or supposed to be) young, beautiful, fabulous, and carefree.  I've never been good at keeping diaries or blogs before but I feel as though this is different. For me this is a sign of my road to happiness with myself and my life. I think the real driving force behind this blog is that with my recent break up I don't feel happy or content with how that relationship affected me. And I desperately want back my independence, my happiness, and just myself. It was a very tough relationship on me that really only ever ended in me getting hurt in ways that I will never be able to put into words.

So I'll begin my new beginning by posting about where I am, where I want to be and my journey of how I'll get there. It includes my personal appearance, putting together my new apartment, my job accomplishments or failures and what happens along the way of me finding myself again.

Today is day 1 of my new beginning of my journey of finding myself, love, and happiness.

This is a perfect quote of where this blog is going..
