Elliott Yamin - Can't Keep On Loving You w/ Lyrics

Yea.. No.. You're Too Controlling

So i  have a 'friend', who is very strong minded, highly opinionated, demanding, controlling... all in all a dominating alpha female.

yea we're cool and all but her controlling attitiutude and need to be on top and the center of attention make it hard to like her sometimes.

and it makes it hard to be friends with her too. this saturday was her graduation party and she had the nerve to tell one of our friends that she was pissing her off and that she should leave cause she was getting on her nerves.

honestly who says that when she didnt even do anything and we all came out to support her.

i dont know what her problem was but even i had to grit my teeth at her like we're all supposed friends and you're gonna go off and say something like that!

not cool, chick, not cool.

and its always something with her.

and then when we say something to her about her attitude she dont like and will shut us all out cause she aint getting her way...

yea, no

grow the fuck up

once she realizes the world does not revolve around her.. all will be fine

Much Needed Girl Time

went out with my boobie last night, known this chick since freshman orientation and we been stuck with each other ever since then. ever since graduation we try to make it a point to hang out a few times out of the month by going out to dinner at our fave spot (UNO's) or going ice skating or the movies.

every time we do we catch up on whats new in each other lives and spill on our latest crushes or how we're getting over some new heartbreak... well last night was no different; found out she got her nipples pierced and i got my nose pierced. i told her i finally got Josh out my system, shes working on getting anthony out of hers.

we spilled out heart outs, drank, ate good food, laughed and shopped a little... a nice reprieve from being in my own thoughts and getting out of my monotonous routine of just going from work to home, home to work...


a girls night to let go is always needed =)

What i really want...

its not him anymore.. i already realized that it wasnt going to be.
ive accepted it and now my heart does too

what i really miss now is just the nights we shared.
the embraces, the kisses, the caresses and the conversations.
the connection you know

it took a lot for me to do some of the things i did with him
and i opened up myself more with him than any other guy
so yea, i miss that more than him...

but for once i can say that ive expereinced it
so at least i know what im looking for
what type of connection i want in a companion.

slowly but surely

i deleted his number
i deleted his pictures from my phone
i archived out messages on fb
i removed temptation to talk to him myself... the only contact between us would be a random text from

i found his number in the archived messages
i took a glance and committed it to memory (at least ill recognize when it comes)
i saved his pictures to my laptop (you know that thing i hardly use since i got my tablet)
time and again ill go on fb to see his face just because (becoming less necessary now)

in my own way im moving forward little by little.... to say my feelings are gone or greatly lessened would be a huge understatement considering the way im feeling now but

so many contradictions

i said i was over but i have my days where i feel the lowest and he's the only who could help bring me out of it
i dont know when or where i put so much into him, so much power he had on my emotions, so much hold he had on my heart

and its pathetic and makes me feel so.. so... BLARGH!!!
i dont want him to have this power.. this hold over me when i have nothing on him.

slowly but surely though, it will fade away and only the ache of wanting someone to just be a permanent fixture will remain.

just another lonely soul...

(wrote this the other day but i guess i never posted it...)

Sitting here in dunkin, back to the customers, facing the window and my heart aches at being here, ALONE, as usual. it shouldn't surprise me anymore, it shouldn't hurt so much anymore, it shouldn't effect me as much as anymore... but it does.

and i'm confused by these feelings of negativity and loneliness. and then i'm plagued with thoughts of him making everything seem so much worse.

i don't even get why i'm pining after the guy when i know what i know, why i suffer in silence, or why the hell it matters anymore. and then the answer is so clear that i hate it...

LOVE...

i curse the day i figured out the capacity to love someone, to love another as more than family, as more than a friend. the day i learned to divest such strong emotions in people that never feel the same. it can be such a useless and trivial emotion driving us to do the wildest things in our imagination.

All this from a voice among the brokenhearted...

I wish i wasn't like that anymore, i wish i was among the masses that has had their feelings returned. instead i hide behind a cool indifference.

its easy

its what i know

the convos that never happen...

are you one of those people who thinks of how a conversation will play out before you make a call? who thinks of all the worst case scenarios of how things will yurn out if you or the other person say a certain thing? who gets themselves so worked up on fictional perspective that you lose yourselve in your imagination?

all to not make that phone call... to have thingss turn out to be a regular conversation... to completely avoid what you wanted to talk about in the first place...

yea im one of those people.. i get myself all worked up over nothing. i imagine things that will never happen. i get imagined phone calls of horrible things that did not occur...

for what?

to get rid of the pessimism in my mind? to prepare myself for the "worst things that could happen"...  to have the much needed arguments/discussions, only just with myself?

makes no sense... but everyones mind is different. it helps me in ways of dealing with a lot... usually dampens my mood but thats life

New Oils I Want To Try


                                           Reasons:                 
Marshmallow Root:             detangler, growth, shine & softness
Yarrow(?)                           growth, emollient (moisture), 
Ylang Ylang                        growth, increase thickness, work on split ends
Horestail                             growth, hair strength, less dandruff, luster
Burdock Root                     growth, improve scalp condition, luster
Nettle                                 growth
Rosemary                           

*Rosemary isnt new but i figured i throw it in there as a reminder to buy it later
** Not to sure about yarrow oil, still iffy on that one
*** This will be one strong ass growth serum when coupled with a good base oil

Most of these can be bought as teas and used as herbal rinses. Or taken as capsules. Or yo know, buy th leaves, and boil them out under the right directions.

Mountain Rose Herbs (dot com) is a good site to go to for organic butters, herbs, essential & carrier oils, among other things

But yea, those are them!

Healthy Hair Zone: Healthy Hair Challenge & 6 Months No Trim Challenge... Ive gone 3 months without a trim now im trying to see if i can go 6 months without one. A friend of mine said she went 17 months without one.. yea i dont think ill go out like that without dusting my ends from time to time.

Poem: Ode to the New Year

Finally its ending
never stopping in its continuity
but numbered only in human context

from 365/366 to 1
from week 52 to 1
the records start anew
resolutions start anew
time starts for some
stops for most
and dwindle for many

for the earth will continue
on its revolutions
spinning in its infinity
we are only passerby
some will stand out more than most
victims of technicalities
of talents and intelligence
of breakdowns in the psyche

records will only be that
births
deaths
a certificate of our presence
a sample of our lives
a show of our schooling
a show of our talents
a show of our capacity to share
a sample of our voice

365-366 days
52 weeks
numbers only for the human cortex
our time here is temporary
our memory will fade
our being will crumble

but
we do
exist.

Ask Chesca! Getting over a breakup



good advice!

Yahoo Virgo Love Horoscope for 2013

Virgo: Intriguing: "With an answer for every problem, you’re usually very busy sorting out everyone else’s life. But being preoccupied like this is no excuse for lacking a love life of your own, and this is the main lesson you need to learn in 2013. While work demands far too much of your brain power, Jupiter’s move into Cancer this summer places the needs of the heart above your intellectual demands. Date for pleasure in the first half of the year (let’s face it, you need it!), and then consider serious romantic options as they crop up closer to your birthday. With Jupiter in your house of hopes and wishes this year, you’ll have no choice but to explore love and joy. Yes, that means you!"


eh, we'll see about that

Entering the New Year

Made it, set some goals or affirmations for myself.. to take better care of  'ME', continue on the route to furthering my education, and working on my new side hustle (lol) A.S.O.M Designs...

Entering the new year didnt feel like anything special to me, yea i was out, but where i was could have been better, sure i was with a friend and  her friends but it wasnt what i truly wanted. i was hype that i had plans and all but... i wasnt feeling it all the much..

they say the virgo acts like a boring adult... and thats how i felt... like a boring adult.

i drank, i danced, i laughed, i smiled, i had fun... but i wasnt all there.

when midnight came and i looked around it was like a swift blow that i didnt have someone for that midnight kiss. hopeless romantic that i am ( though i will gladly refute you on that some times) i was disappointed that i had to enter another year that way...

lonely & single...

most times im cool with it, other times im not... and then the rest of the time im in limbo on my feelings on the whole thing. to deal with the emotional shortcomings of another person irks me but to deal with them together...

thats another story.
