First of all, I would like to apologize sincerely for being totally MIA recently, its been a hectic few weeks. I do have some announcements though, I am currently suffering with writers block. I know, annoying. So to any of you who follow my work on Wattpad, I'm sorry for the lack in updates. I am really excited for The City and Marley, I know what I want to happen but just not how to write it. I'm also in the works of a freshly conjured up book, actually its not freshly conjured. I've been thinking about this idea for months and have tried to write it many times, but every time it ends up in the trash. You can see where my problems currently are in the writing department, but I really am trying. If you'd like to give some feedback, feel free to inbox me because I am always always ALWAYS opened to new ideas. Also at this point, I'm pretty desperate for anything to light a spark. Anyways, I will be sure to update you lovely people when I do finally get some solid writing done and post it. I hope I haven't terribly angered you guys, this is our cozy little corner on the internet and I'd hope to keep in happy. Have an amazing rest of your night and happy reading!

Wanderlust
If you could go anywhere in the world, would it be to a "where" or to a "who"?
I recently had been asked this question and it became quite haunting. It is equivalent to the same question of; Would you rather be in someplace, or with someone? And that can easily mess with a person and their way of thinking. Its easy to be asked where you would go in the world, if only places were being talked about. Personally, I would choose a place like New York or England or Italy or Romania. These are vastly different places, and that is the point. I have always wanted to travel the world, live in a number of different places and leave my fingerprint in other lives and other cultures. Why? I believe that this world was not made for us to stay in one place. Why would such beautiful mountains and waterfalls and oceans be created if we were only going to stay in our small radius of comfort? Its almost a sin to do such a thing. To leave the world's beauty unseen and to live a small life in a small town, never knowing what else is out there. So really, the question of destination is a simple answer for me. Because I want to go everywhere, and if that were a valid answer than I would use it. But the question of which home you would go to, the one with the surroundings or the one with the heart. Which would you choose? And say you did choose to go to a person, which person would it be? Most would think this question is easy, but its really quite difficult. Who would I choose? Would I go to my mother, who raised me and loved me unconditionally? Would I choose my best friend, who knows me more than anyone else in this world? Would I drop everything and go to my first love, who loved me for me and never asked me to change? Or would I make the answer more simple, and choose a destination instead? To tell you the truth, I don't know who I would go to, if I had in fact chosen to go to a person. I have no clue, and I almost don't want to know. If I choose one person, does that mean I don't love the others as much? The answer is not at all easy, simplicity is not in the definition that created this question. There is no black or white, no easy and quick. It is hard, it is painful, it is brain wrecking and nerve wracking.
If I were drunk in a room with everyone I've ever loved, who would I run to?
This is another question that really disturbs me. I've loved many people, I have a large family so the room would have to be quite large. But I've also go friends that I've loved. I've got those few special people who took my heart. In this hypothetical room, where would I go? Which direction would I turn and what pair of eyes would I lock with before running into that one pair of arms? This question is similar to the previous one. Would I go to my mother? My best friend? My first love? Or maybe it would be someone different. Say this room also held the ones who I loved and had died. This means that my grandfather would be there, and my childhood dog, and my aunt. would I run to one of them? Would it be out of pure love and favoritism, or the simple happiness for seeing them again? This question goes deeper than its small seventeen words. I don't know how many times I sat next to my dog's old bed and wished for her to sit on my lap one more time. Or how much I wished I had gotten to say proper goodbyes to my grandpa and aunt before they passed.
The question goes even deeper than who I would go to, it also calls in who would be there. Would I be surprised to see someone in the room? Or even more surprised to see that someone isn't in it? And what if this room only help people who loved me back? Would the room be bigger or smaller? We all like to think it would be bigger, but the fear is that it wouldn't be. So would I be surprised and shocked, or would my assumptions be right? What if this room only held people that loved me, but I never loved them back? This room would surely surprise me, and I can imagine it would be smaller.
The truth is that there would be so many directions that both of these questions could go. Thinking about it too long could leave a headache, so I better stop now. This may have been a rant, but I'll call it educated writing from a deep thought. Call it what you want, but this sounds better. I hope I haven't completely bored you, or changed your outlook on life. In less, of course, that outlook is changed for the better. If so then I am honored. Have a lovely day, and if you take nothing from this post than at least take this. Call your loved ones, tell them you love them. Play with your pet and give your parents a hug. If you love someone, tell them. Because if you don't you'll never know. If they feel the same, then you could end up with the person you'll spend the rest of your life with. If they don't, then move on and know you are one step closer to finding that person. This life is a short one, so live it in the best way possible. Love your people and travel and live your dreams. I fully intend to, I hope you do too. Kisses x

Intro To Beauty
Today I will be introducing my beauty side of my blog, but I first want to get one thing straight. No matter what tips I give you or what advice you take from me or anyone else, you are still beautiful. You have always been beautiful and you always will be. You were gorgeous before you bought your first bottle of foundation or learned to curl your hair. You were stunning before he told you and before she told you, and even after they didn't Assuming that my readers will be mostly from the female population, I want to tell my fellow ladies something very important. What you look like does not determine your value or your worth. Today's society has so many rules, regulations, and restrictions for women. We can't wear too much make up without being called fake and we can't wear none at all without being labeled as sloppy. If we wear a skirt then we are asking for it but if we wear sweatpants we need to try harder. Let me tell you something, I want you to take everything you have ever been taught about your value equaling your beauty and toss it out the window. None of that is true. You can wear glasses and not have perfect teeth and you are still gorgeous. You can curl your hair and have spotless skin, and you are still capable of being something outside of just the pretty girl.
Your looks do not determine how successful you will or will not be. There will be many times throughout your life where people will try to tell you that your looks in fact do matter above everything else. I want you to try ad forget those people, even if its hard. Forget the ones who tell you that you'll never amount to much because you're too pretty to become a judge or run a company. Forget the ones who tell you that you need to try harder with your image to be taken seriously. Forget the ones you say you'll never be taken seriously because you're too attractive. Forget them all, they only wish to keep you under the clouds when the sun awaits you. You can do whatever you want in life, be whoever you want. You only have one life, so don't hold yourself back by fear or by the condescending words of others. If you want to walk the world with a full face of make up and a fresh manicure, then work it because those who judge you are only jealous. If you prefer to wear no make up, still aspire to your dreams with your true front for everyone to see.
Another thing I want to remind all of you is that were not put on this earth to please other people, and you were definitely not put here to please men. Do you think that whatever God you believe in would create the entire universe in all its beautiful glory, and then fill our world with people who were only made to create the happiness of others? Or if you are Atheist and strictly believe in science, how sad would it be if after everything the universe took to create you, and you wasted it by standing back from your true greatness? If someone tells you that your use of make up gives people false advertisement, leave and stay the hell away from those people. You are not a package to be bought, you are a human being. If someone tells you that no man will ever love you when your blemishes are showing, walk your sassy self out of that person's life and never look back. If someone doesn't love you for what you look like with no make up then they don't deserve a spot in your life. You hold the pen to your life story, no one else but you. Every single person in the world is a possible character in your book, and you get to decide who you write into it and who you erase. Don't let society try to steal your pen.
No matter what you do in life, you will do it beautifully because you, in fact, are one good looking lady. You can aspire to greatness, in any way you want to. Whether that is running for president one day, building towns in Third World countries, you becoming a stay at home mother who raises her children right so they can aspire to their own greatness. Everyone has a role in this world, everyone leaves their fingerprint. And even long after you are gone, that fingerprint remains. So be who you truly are, not who you wish you were or who people want you to be. But who you truly know yourself to be. That is the only way you can be happy with yourself in this big world of ours. Take the risks that scare you and accept the rewards. You are beautiful and amazing and I love you already.

Short Story: Threads
Threads
I was born different, you'd think that it would be obvious but it isn't. I am special, but it's kept secret. When I was six years old, I saw my first thread. Then when I was nine, I saw my first connection. You see, I was born with a special ability. Everyone has a thread that connects them to their soulmate, and I am able to see them. Once the two souls are close enough the threads become visible to me. If took me a few years to fully understand this concept, but I have made a life out of it. Whenever I see a thread, I do everything in my power to subtly lead the person to their soulmate. I am also able to influence people so I that I can lead them to their soulmate. No one knows about this ability that I have, only my mother but she died when I was sixteen. Now I live on my own with my families money, not needing a job, but still needing a living. So I guess I'm destined to be a matchmaker.
Today while I'm at the nearest coffee shop, I see a young women walk in. A thread appears a over her that leads out the door and down the sidewalk. I smile and make my way towards her, she's what I like to call my type A client.
"Excuse me." I say politely, she looks up at me with bright green eyes and smiles. Whoever she is paired with sure will be happy.
"Yes?" She asks
"I was wondering if you would walk with me to my car. My ex just walked in and I was hoping you could pretend to be my friends I I could get to my car safely." I explain my lie, she looks a bit worried which I figured so I decide to answer her next question.
"Don't worry, I would never want to put you in danger. I can drop you off somewhere else once we are away from here." I say, looking straight into her eyes. She smiles softly.
"Of course I'll help you." She says. I smile, she sure was easy. Once she buys her coffee we walk out to my car and get in. We make small talk while I follow her thread down the road. The redness of it grows more vibrant as we get closer, which I expected.
"So where are you dropping me off." She asks "Oh just at this little strip mall I know of, they've got some great stuff there." I say, using my skill perfected voice to sooth her anxiousness. After a few minutes the thread is bright. I pull into the parking lot of a local park and step out.
"I thought you were taking me to a mall." She says, looking around.
"I am feeling a bit car sick, I hope it's alright that we walk around a few minutes. This happens to me a lot." I say, pretending to look worried.
"Oh no it's alright, I quite enjoy parks." She says, I smile. Checkmate.
We walk for about a minute before the threat starts vibrating and ends above a tall man with blond hair. I smile and sigh in content. I lead us to walk passed him and bump her shoulder. This causes her to stumble into him.
"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry!" She says
"It's alright." He says, catching her. When they look at each other, you can tell that both of their worlds stopped. I smile at the two of them, my work here is done. I turn on my heel and make my way back to my car. I'm about to open the door when something surprises me, something I never thought I would see.
A thread lingers above my head and travels down the road. I stare at it with wide eyes for a few moments before being brought back to reality. The thread is already getting duller, he's moving further away. I jump in my car and race down the road towards the man I never thought I would find. My soulmate.
After about five minutes I am brought to a mall, how convenient. I park my car and run inside. I race through the halls and up the stairs, following the endless trail that will lead me to him. I've dreamt of him a lot. What he will be like. Blond hair or brown hair. What about black or red? Blue eyes or green, maybe brown, maybe grey. Tall or short. I've thought about it more than I care to admit.
The thread is bright now and begins vibrating, I smile in excitement. This is it, the moment I have been waiting for my entire life. I run inside one of the stores, probably looking like a complete lunatic. I'm sucked out of my cloud nine thoughts when I hear screaming. Screams of terror. Screams of horror. Loud, piercing screams.
"Everybody down!" I hear someone scream. I slowly turn around, my thread disappears. I lock eyes with him, my soulmate. The one I'm destined to be with. As the barrel of his gun points directly at my head.
