Musings x 9/19/2014

the weather this weekend is going to be perfect
good manners, good posture

current theme song: on me x jeezy, wiz
I can't wait to get on the ferris wheel at the harbor!
.. the fact that it's a little chilly at night now will make it that much better. ♥

 fall wardrobe, wine stained lips
wine optional
دع الحب يسيطر
stress level has decreased significantly
{another themed party coming soon}

do you think it's possible to miss out on your blessings or do you think they come back around?
good communication is vital
keep people around that inspire you.

"We should never put off what we really, really want in life. I know I can't... I have seen so many people waiting for the 'perfect time' to do something that they want so badly -- have a baby, switch jobs, leave a relationship. But the time is now." -Not Fade Away, Rebecca Alexander
...couldn't have said it better myself
strappy x slinky
Gucci Guilty
my 'sometimes' dimples have been thriving lately
don't know what to do with it.

having things to look forward to keeps me afloat (..even though I'm trying to work more on appreciating being in the moment)
best quote of the week: "you can lead a horse to water, but 9 times out of 10 if it's a male horse it will trip and drown."
lol.
I like what I like, unapologetically
what you know about them Creole girls?
learn to differentiate romantic love, platonic love and when it's not love at all
 stay humble, stay hungry
I'm noticing a change in myself... for the better
awareness heightened
it's never a loss for me, ever, and for that I'm grateful
... the vibes are crazy

 

Another Weekend, Another Sister Outing

 

I really hate taking pictures at parties with photographers. There's a number of reasons for this, but it's mainly because you never know where the pictures are going to end up. Hopefully yesterday will be the rare case where they'll be where they said they would. (*UPDATED* Thank you EliteDC! lol)

 

Anyway, it was another weekend spent with sisters.. it's B's last weekend in town before she heads back to Seattle, and she wanted to go to Cities (a DC day party). It wasn't exactly my first choice venue... but whatever B wants, B gets. 

 

 

Oh, and Lance Gross was there.

 

 



Loner x Marz Leon



"to be all the air that you breathe"

Awareness Practice: Self Check In

1. Do you ask enough questions or do you settle for what you know?
2. If you had to teach something, what would you teach?
3. Who do you think stands between you and happiness?
4. To what degree have you actually controlled the course your life has taken?
5. Would you rather lose all of your old memories or never be able to make new ones?
6. What are three moral rules you will never break?
7. What do you owe yourself?
8. How do you spend the majority of your free time?
9. If you could take a single photograph of your life, what would it look like?
10. What one ‘need’ and one ‘want’ will you strive to achieve in the next twelve months?

Frierson Wedding x Love Epiphanies

This past weekend brought me back to Norfolk for my sorority sister Tiffany's wedding. It felt good to be surrounded by so much love - not only between the bride and the groom, but for them by the people in attendance. It's beautiful to find your soul mate in someone.

 

The ceremony was filled with emotion and it really served as a reminder that we are growing up! The commitments expressed in the vows were so real, and it kind of makes the whole 'going through the motions' of dating thing seem trivial. In discussions with my sisters post-ceremony we all agreed (for the most part) that we are nowhere near ready to be married at this age. However, there is no time to be wasted on anyone who isn't serious about moving on to that next stage in life. Don't get me wrong... these are the fun years, and people go into dating for all types of different reasons depending on where they are in their life at the moment. We are still discovering ourselves and laying out the foundation for who/ where we want to be later in life.. and there's nothing wrong with that. Contrary to popular belief, I feel that having someone by your side as you grow into the man/ woman that you want to be is a beautiful thing. The idea that you can do it on your own... but you don't have to. I'm rambling, but with that said "situationships," flings and rebounds at this age just feel childish and there's no room for anyone bringing that type of temporariness to the table. 

 

Date people, feel them out and if it feels wrong - move on! Don't waste your time trying to make it "feel" right; and most of all, always be honest and upfront in your intentions.

 

 

 

Have a Great Day all! :)
