Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live. - Dorothy Thomas

About Me

Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal." - Henry Ford (I don't like obstacles!) "People see you as an object, not as a person, and they project a set of expectations onto you. People who don't have it think beauty is a blessing, but actually it sets you apart." - Candace Bergen..
In a nutshell...1) I'm a true believer in life's uncertainties. I live my life based on my past mistakes and experiences. I live for the bumps in the road...it shapes my persona, who I am and will become. 2) Im full of surprises...you'll get curve balls left and right...but life's all about unpredictability, right? 3) I love trying new things and meeting interesting people 4) Goofy people are the best...I'm not talking about those who try to be funny but rather those who are naturally funny. If you have to point out the fact that you're funny...chances are you probably aren't. 5) Beauty, in all of its different forms, catches my eye. I'll update this again later :) I'll end this with another quote that makes absolute sense to me...enjoy! "When you meet someone better than yourself, turn your thoughts to becoming his equal. When you meet someone not as good as you are, look within and examine your own self." - Confucius

Books:

I've read so many. I'll compile a list later :) I love quotes...always have and always will. I was once told to make up my own lol...I'm working on some :)We all have big changes in our lives that are more or less a second chance. -- Harrison Ford____Most people give up just when they're about to achieve success. They quit on the one yard line. They give up at the last minute of the game one foot from a winning touchdown. -- Ross Perot__Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome. -- Booker T. Washington___Until you value yourself, you won't value your time. Until you value your time, you will not do anything with it. -- M. Scott Peck___Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired. --Robert Frost___By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest. -- Confucius___Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm. -- Winston Churchill___A man is not finished when he is defeated. He is finished when he quits. -- Richard Nixon___

My heartbreak...

This weekend, by far, has been the toughest weekend for me. To my sad surprise, I found out my grandma passed. I can't begin to describe how devastated I was when I found out and still continue to be....
