Lesson #1

You gotta take the good with the bad. Love what you got, remember what you had. Always forgive but never forget. Learn from mistakes but never regret.

One Of My Flaws

One of my most hated flaws about myself that I hate is....

I don't make an effort to keep in touch with anyone that doesn't make an effort to keep in touch with me.

I hate that I do that. I feel like I probably lose touch with a lot of my friends because of that. I tend not to try and be the first to hit someone up first that I haven't really talked to in a while. However, when I do hit up people to catch up, it actually turns out to be a good move and we somewhat gain our friendship back. But then why don't I keep at it with others?

See I have this mindset like if they don't hit me up, they probably don't see a reason to talk to me. Which is why I never really am the first to hit someone up. Whether it be facebook, text, tweet etc. The bad thing about this is what if a lot of others feel the same way? What if others have the same mindset as I do? Then we'd just go in circles of having that anxiety that the other person doesn't wanna talk and we'd never get to it.

Yeah this is one of my most hated traits I have. It's just who I am. I know it's not wise to publicly say my flaws but like I said before, I feel as if talking about my flaws and letting it be known is how I can overcome them.

On that note, I'll close this one. Yay for blogging again.

Want to see one of my other biggest flaws? I posted it here.

I'm Such a Liar

Dang posting about Junethea's tragic story got my blog a lot of traffic (over 1,000). That wasn't even my intent, if I could choose so, I wish I would have never had to post it in the first place you know what I mean? Like wishing it never happened. I saw a video of hers 3 days before her accident and what she says at the end just gets me. "I hope everyone stays safe, drives safe, and parties safe"... Her funeral was this past weekend in San Diego. I wish I could have made a quick visit just to show my sorrow for her family. May she rest in peace.

I keep saying I'm going to try and update my blog but I never do. I just never sit down with enough time to make a good post. There are plenty of things on my mind. I would update about what's going on with my life, fraternity, school, girls, friends, music site, and bla bla, but there's just too much to say. The main reason I made this blog was to spill my thoughts out. I use to update so much back in the past because I use to never really have people I can tell my thoughts to. But after hitting college, I have made friends that actually give me the option of talking out what I feel.

So although I never post as much, take this as a good sign and let it be known that I'm doing fine.
I say this way too much but I'll try to post often again. Key word...try.

Rest In Paradise, Junethea Crystal Centeno

Jesus got what he lost 18 years ago, and that's his angel back.

Today I came across the news of this beautiful young girl recently passing away in a tragic vehicle accident. Turns out she was a huge influence on those around her and those that followed her tumblr (click to view it). I'll admit it, I don't even know this girl on a personal level but from what I see, she had an amazing personality and did nothing but bring joy to whoever she was around. It's crazy cause the most random set of friends on my Facebook news feed would show sadness for her. It's so touching to see the huge amount of people who have showed love for her and support for her family. From a simple tumblr blogger who's also trying to become an influence as she was, I pray Junethea rests in paradise and hope her family get through these dark times okay. Although this is a tragedy and it may be hard, I'm sure she would want everyone to continue smiling and wouldn't want to be the reason people are filled with sorrow and tears.

It's sad that it takes a tragedy for us to realize how much we need to appreciate the little things we have in life. It's things like this that make me stop and see what I have and notice how much I'm taking for granted. Tomorrow isn't promised you guys, life is short, so I just hope you guys love as much as you can and never take life for granted. I don't want to get all cheesy but this is just straight from the heart so I hope you guys can take these words into yours and begin to appreciate what you have before it's too late.

Like this page on Facebook to show support for her.
