Here’s what being emotional means to me: An emotional person is bold, fearless, strong and beautiful inside and out...

If you are that kind of person you know just how much you value that. You know how much that means to you. So I know you will understand me when I say this to you! For those that don't maybe I can share a thing or two if you ever happen to come across someone like myself.

First you must know that expressing your emotions is a gift because you have the power to feel things in ways others can't even imagine, it’s your strength..

It's taken me time, experiencing drastic life changes and pain to learn just that. I can tell you it will be okay because it has only made me stronger inside and out. Sure with that many others things come to play, but the one thing I refuse to let someone or something change is being emotional. I'm the kind of person who is not afraid to tell you how I feel under no circumstance, I'm the kind of person that when I feel something for someone I feel it deep in my heart, I'm the kind of person that when I fall in love I fall hard. I'm the kind of person who knows how to forgive those that have hurt me, and I believe you should too! You can't live a happy life if you resent someone who has hurt you or has caused you pain. The only way to living a happy life is learning how to forgive. I'm the kind of person who believes that dreaming and thinking deeply about life is powerful to your soul because it gives you more reason to bring change in the world.

I strongly believe that I have found my purpose in this journey. It's been quite a ride I tell you that but all that it has taught me has helped me become a better me each day. I have learned that there’s absolutely nothing wrong with being this way I can at least say I stand my ground and refuse to let anyone get in my way. I can also say that after all my experiences I know well enough what is good and what is not for me. I know what I want to accomplish in this world and I know very well what I am looking for not just in life but also in love.

I can definitely tell you I've had my fair share of down falls but only because there are days when life gets overwhelming. I'm sure we can all relate to that though... What really gets me is the fact that there are days that I just feel like no one understands. That there are days I feel like it's better to limit my emotions because I know very well that not everyone can deal with them as well as I can. I get angry at myself because people like that only drain the best of me. When I desire is to share what I feel really with others. I have learned I'm better off staying away from people like that, and when I really have to be around those people to limit the conversation keep it professional and be done. I'm better off keeping my circle small, and only surround myself with those that I know accept me as I am.

I've had many encounters with people who have either been afraid, or intimidated of my honesty whether it be friend or maybe someone I was pursuing, my boldness has scared them off and caused them to walk away but I just feel like I have no reason to hold back on anything if I have something to say I will do just that. Sorry but I refuse to apologize for being honest.. take it for me it sucks, especially when one of those people turn out to be someone you started to feel something for, and all you want is for them to accept you and for them to know that you'll do no harm to them, but show them and tell them just how much they mean to you. You just hope that someday they will understand that.

Maybe that’s not what you wanted to hear but trust me neither did I when it happened but you can't force someone to like you, if they walk away it's there loss not yours. It’s a horrible feeling, it sucks that they don't understand just how much their rejection can hurt you. With all honesty It becomes harder for someone like you and I to fall in love or to allow ourselves the chance to meet someone new but only because you know many people can't handle your level of emotions and just how deeply you feel every word and action in your heart, but that’s what makes you who you are. When something like that happens all you can say is that you tried..

So for now I guess I can say I'm okay as I am, and that maybe now isn't my time, which to me is so cliché and I hate every part of it but I know that to be true. I know deep in my heart there is plenty of room for purity, love, and for my better half but until then I will keep that safe if he ever comes along someday..

Always remember; remain bold, stay fearless, because you are strong and have a precious heart. Continue living because life is beautiful gift, don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise..

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
