Thought for the day: Here and now

You ever have those nights when you just sit and wonder how you got to the place you are now? Well, I was having one of those nights last night. If you would have asked me 3 years ago where I would be in 2011…I would have never told you London, that is a fact. I would have never told you I would not be diving. No one would have believed that anyways… most people still don’t.

With all my pondering, I began to also reflect on past relationships, good and bad. Something was once so good…how did it turn so bad so fast? Or the people I would expect to support me are actually doing the opposite… can anyone really be counted on now-a-days?

Whilst being in my slump last night, I had a nice heart to heart with one of my newly found friends here. Who gave me a piece of advice that inspired this thought for the day… that friend told me, “you’re here now, so enjoy being here, be here in mind as well as spirit, and let what’s done go, cuz it aint coming back. and that’s ok”

That is totally and completely true, and after thinking about it the rest of the night… I could not help but feel more relieved knowing that that statement is true. What happened this summer… what happened last year… it’s all in the past. No point dwelling on things I can NOT fix. Time to pep up and live for today. Needless to say, my mood drastically improved. I mean… I AM in London anyways. 🙂

Thought for the day: Fairytales..false hope?

Watching Tangled last night got me thinking… is there really such a thing as happily ever after? I mean girls grow up watching these Disney movies that tell us Prince Charming is out there…and he will sweep you off your feet…but does that ever really happen? I mean I am sure there is a “Mr Right” somewhere out there, but to think we will live a perfect life…forever and ever…is that just me having my head in the clouds?

Watching these feel good movies about love, do they really make us feel good? If anything I think they just make us feel worse about NOT having that fairytale romance. I mean, how much more in your face “HA! YOU WISH YOU HAD THIS” can these movies be?

Dont get me wrong… I love these fairytale movies… and Tangled will forever be one of my favourites. So I will always hope and dream for my prince charming. In the words of Snow White..”Im wishing…for the one I love…to find me…today” 🙂

Thought for the day: The step moved!

What makes someone clumsy? I only ask this because I do not think I could go a full day without tripping over air…even though I know that the side walk jumped out at me! Which for some reason no one ever believes me. I mean seriously, did I miss out on that part of life called “learning to walk” or did I from the beginning have issues with picking up my feet..?

Last night, in the span of only a couple hours, I managed to eat the concrete twice. Literally eat it. Hands and knees on the ground. I am surprised I did not hit my face…I mean I am sure the concrete was feeling a bit lonely and THAT is why it moved the step down on me. It just wanted a kiss from the silly blonde that looked like Jazzercise Barbie. No offense to the concrete, but I happen to like my teeth. My parents spent a lot of money making sure my teeth were straight and white.

Although no kisses were given, the concrete still managed to take some skin from my knee and my hands. But I guess all is fair in love and war? Or I guess in this case it would be

All is fair in love and clumsiness 😉

Thought for the day: Fire alarms

Fire alarms are of course a great thing. If there is a fire… you can escape from the building before flames eat you. However, I am not a fan of the residence halls testing fire alarms at 11 a.m. on a Friday morning. Last Friday I was sleeping soundly (on my one week day with no class, so i can sleep in) and I had to jump out of bed, put clothes on, and half asleep walk outside.

Today was a different story… I was showering when the alarm went off. Great right? Having to walk outside in a towel. cute. Luckily before I got out of my hall the alarm stopped, leaving me with a little more pride than I thought I would have after this experience.

This is my cry out to the residence hall staff…can we move the testing time to a little bit later? This 11 a.m. thing is already annoying and its only been the second week.

Sincerely,

Girl who likes to not go outside in a towel with shampoo still in her hair. 😉
