About Me

My photo
Born and raised in the Tri-City area of Albany, NY, an athletic, talented young writer blossomed to become the young women you see today. Writing has always been a passion of mine but dance and running have always been my first loves. I am currently a freshman in college on a Track Scholarship and perusing my career to become a social worker. I'm very humble and down to earth. I'm just Me!

Happiness


Happiness is something that everyone strives for.
NEWSFLASH...
You can't find happiness in others but only from within yourself.
What most people don't realize is that,
Happiness is never stopping to think if you are happy.
You already know!
Most people would rather be certain they're miserable rather than, risk being happy.
I for one feel like I used to be someone like that.
I find myself to this day struggling with this.
I'm a strong believe in that
The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up.
I do this NON STOP!
If only we'd stop trying to be happy we could have a pretty good time.
Happiness is excitement that has found a settling down place.
But there is always a little corner that keeps flapping around.
Nobody really cares if you're miserable, so you might as well be happy.
If there is something I can leave you with is my one thought about happiness,
"Those who can laugh without cause have either found the true meaning of happiness or have gone stark raving mad."
Which are you?

Life


SOOOO...I've come to the realization, the longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. My life that is! My Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, not so much my education, the money I make, circumstances, my failure and successes, and than my favorite, what other people think or say or do. Fuck them! My life is more important than appearance, giftedness or skills. It will make or break a company... a church... even a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We can't change our past...but only learn and grow from it. We adapt and not make the same mistakes. I must admit that I have made a few of the same but I'm a work in progress. We cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the invisible . The only thing we can do is play the one good string on out violins that we have, and that is our attitude. Hell my attitude! I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it, so I charge my Attitude on life! Why be stress and pissed off all the time. Its doing nothing for you but bringing tears to your eyes, gray hair and more deaths!
Life!

Special Olympics and Life

A few years ago, at the Seattle Special Olympics, nine contestants all physically or mentally disabled, assembled at the starting line for the 100 yard dash.
At the gun, they all started out, not exactly in a dash, but with a relish to run the race to finish and win.All, that is, except one boy who stumbled on the asphalt, tumbled over a couple of times and began to cry. The other eight heard the boy. They slowed down and looked back. Everyone one of them. One girl who had down's syndrome bent down and kissed him and said,"This will make it better." After getting him off the ground, all nine linked arms and walked across the finish line together. Everyone in the stadium stood, and the cheering went on fro several minutes! People who were there are still telling this story believe it or not. Why?
Because deep down we all know one thing.
What matters most in this life is more than winning for ourselves, but in this life helping others to win, even if it means slowing down and changing our own courses!

This is something a lot of people should honestly think about and put into thought.
Regardless of what I'm going through right now,
I will always slow down and change my course for someone else because thats what I do.
I love to help others.
Even if that makes me look like an ass hole!
Its happened.
An ex, close friends, etc.
But who care what they think.
I will continue to be me,
Loving, willing to do anything for anyone regardless of what or how I feel.

If there is anything I can leave you with its this,

I work for the center of disability,.
I don't want praise or people saying,"theres a spot waiting for u in heaven because your helping"them""
Its something I choose to do and love!
People!
I put in time so that I can help others no different from you or I.
I feel people should be more like me.
Strong, and confident within my line of work!!!

Just a thought!
There is no "I" in TEAM!

Work & Life


There is so much work to be done in such little time.
Everyday I struggle to get up and go to work because I'm so used to sleeping in and being waited on hand and foot.
My relationship is falling apart because he moved back to Utica and my best friends I've had since high school , we're not talking.
Things are somewhat stressful.
Feelings are mixed up and I don't know what to do.
I was told that an institution isn't a place but a state of mind, meaning
you can in trapped in your own mind thoughts emotions etc.
I work for the Center of Disability.
That place isn't an institution but a home to them.
A place where they can call home and feel safe.
Not have to be different.
In my eyes they are not but they are people just as you and I.
I need a vacation!

Love Lost

I try to talk to you, But I don't know what to say. I am afraid you don't want me to say anything. So I don't. But inside of me there are words waiting to come out. And tell you how I feel-like how I miss you. And how I love you despite my broken heart. And how I need you in my life. And especially how much I want you. But those words may forver stay in my heart-locked inside. Sometimes I wonder if there are words locked inside you too... But I'll never know And its safe to say it okay that way. Because now that I sit here and think about it, I never knew you! Meeting you was fate, Becoming your friend was a choice, But falling in love with you I had no control over!

Personalties

"Only strong personalties can endure history, the weak ones extinguish from it, but a man/women, people must be big enough to admit their mistakes, as well as flaws, and be smart enough to profit from it and become a stronger person."

Love App. Story of My Life


The worst thing is holding on to someone who doesn't want to be held on to.
Don't fall for someone unless they're willing to catch you.
The thing about falling in love is that if you do it right you'll never hit the ground.
LIFE IS TO SHORT TO BE ANYTHING BUT HAPPY!
So KISS slow,
LOVE deeply,
And forgive quickly.
Take chances and never have regrets.
Forget the past but remember what it taught you.
Sometimes you have to smile and pretend everything's okay,
Hold back tears
And walk away.
If you want to see the rainbow you must first walk through the rain,
And if you want true love,
You must go though the pain!

To Me, when I love someone...
I commit myself without guarantee,
I give myself completely to the hope that our love will produce love in the loved person.
Love is an act of faith,
And whoever is of little faith is of little love ...
Basically right now I'm just going through it...
Sleepless nights,
Tears,
Everything that was said in this Note is so true and accurate to my life...
Heres something,
I know loving is a feeling that brings both joy and pain to my heart.
Joy from being with you, being filled with an emotion so deep and tender that no other feeling can compare.
Pain from knowing that I'm so in love, that I'm more vulnerable than I've ever have been for anyone in life.
The fact that giving your all to someone and them having the power to hurt you!
Scary.
I feel like...
{sigh}
You know what I used to say,
"Love is for females who want to get their feeling hurt and taken advantage of"
Sadly I feel like that now...
Story of my life!

I honestly feel that falling in love with someone isn't always going to be easy...
Anger...
Tears...
Laughter...
But it's when you want to be together despite it all.
That's when you truly love another.
I'm sure of it!
At lease
I Hope
