Regardless...

Regardless of the times I've gotten my heart broken, I still believe in love & I know it will find me when the time is right ;)

Sometimes...

Sometimes I don't really get myself. I am so not bipolar but I must say, at times I can be happy or sad or simply quiet. I like how I can just listen to music and get lost in this other world. I love that feeling, especially when my mind goes blank and all my worries go away. That's how I'm feeling right now. I am thinking about nothing and it feels so good. I love especially when I realize how lost I can get, when I realize that it is possible to clear my mind even though sooner or later I have to face reality. I've been using my bike a lot more lately and I am determined to learn how to play the ukulele over winter break. I just can't wait! 

this is how i feel right now, and this is how i wish i could stay :)

buenas noches ciberamigos!

One picture, a thousand words

this is what i wish i could be doing right about now

capturing life's precious moments.....

instead, i'm stuck at home....dreaming.

In This Moment...

In this moment....

I am determined to be the bets that I can

Be different in my own way

Live the way I want to, wherever I want to & 

with whoever I want to.

In this moment...

I am determined to love myself,

To let love come to me at the right time 

& at the right place.

I am determined to push myself 

& live in the moment.

In this moment...

I am determined to put my thoughts

on paper & let them free for the world to see

because I am no longer afraid.

I am no longer your prisoner.

yours truly,

L. 

I want to ride by bicycle, I want to ride my bike!

I never realize how fun it is riding a bike until I actually ride one. I have a road bike that my dad got at a garage sale at a super cheap price. This bike has change my life because it just makes me feel so cool! haha (i'm serious though!) I feel like at times I take it for granted because I don't make good use of it. However, I've started taking it to school & riding back to my place. I love feeling the breeze run through my body when I am riding down hill because going up hill is just a pain in the ass! (I need to get in shape before I start biking to school). I think riding a bike instead of driving means a lot to me because I am not only helping the environment (hint hint) but it also remind me of my mom. My mom does not know how to drive but she rides her bike EVERYWHERE!! She motivates me to ride my bike even though I drive her around when I go home to visit. SO, I have made a promise to myself and that is to ride my bike as much as possible because it is really a cool feeling. Not only am  I exercising, but I feel like so much better about myself knowing that (most of the time) I am not contributing to the horrible pollution that is slowly killing our planet. With this said, I shall leave you all with a link to a super cool website that all of you should check out! & a super cool video (that you can find in the website as well) that I hope can serve as motivation!

unrequited love

enough said. 

what is love?

It is 10:29pm, 29 minutes passed by bedtime...yes i go to sleep quite early, but, somethings have been on my mind for quite a while. LOVE. What is love exactly? When I think of the word love, I think of couples walking down the street, holding hands, a kiss here and there. However, love is more than that. Love comes from family, friends and even pets! We find love in the things that makes us happy, whatever that might be. And I must say, I feel really loved! I love my major, I love my family and I have amazing friends but sometimes I feel like I need a different kind of love. The kind of love that comes from that significant other. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find that significant other. I am starting to think that I am cursed, that I'm a hopeless romantic, or that I am not good enough to deserve my better half. I've been listening to sad love songs nonstop....so not fun! I am simply torturing myself. My patience is slowly fading away...wait, what patience? My mom keeps bugging me with comments like "when are you going to have a boyfriend?" or "I think it's time for you to get a boyfriend so you can feel more at ease" blah blah blah (Believe me mom, I really want a boyfriend too!) Not to sound desperate but, I am a 20 year old college student who has not have her first kiss, date or boyfriend (BUT I am not ashamed to say so).

Love will come to me, love will find me, love will not give up on me. It is silly how I can talk about my crush nonstop, or how my friends and I can talk about boys and how complicated they can be but truth is, at times, I am happy to be single because love is something that shouldn't be rushed. In order for love to find us, we first need to love ourselves (which something that I am currently working on!). Some people have told me that I am better off without a guy but that is because they have already experienced the whole dating thing, I have not. Truth be told, I am afraid of committing or getting too attached to the person. When people last a long time is because they keep the love alive, but at times they last a long time because they're just used to each other. Some things are not meant to be, some things are not meant to last and people just gotta move on.

I guess it is true when people say that a person might be the one for you, but you might not be the one for them (or something like that). Point is, love will find us, there is no need to rush because this life is too short to see it disappear in a blink of an eye.

Love is love, love is complicated, love is beautiful, love is confusing, love is family, love is friends, love is every breath we take, love is us. Simple as that.

Thanksgiving day, everyday

Today, while my mom prepared all the delicious food, my dad, sisters and I decided to go to BestBuy just to go and hangout. Being thanksgiving day we doubted that it would we open but we still gave it a shot. I was in shock seeing all the people already camping outside waiting for the store to open at 12am (this was around 3pm). People are really starting to forget the meaning of thanksgiving and instead they are focusing on what the stores have on sale. I am no one to judge but come on now, thanksgiving is a holiday for a reason; so we can all be able to take a day off and spend it with family and all our loved ones. Everyday I am so grateful for this life and everything that it has to offer.

So, I want to take the time to remind myself that I am thankful for...
-My family (&that includes my dog): I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for them. Lately, my brothers have been going through a lot but just knowing that they can count on me and I can count on them makes everything a bit easier to deal with.
-My friends: I have the most amazing friends, some I've gained and some I've lost. Everyday is a struggle to realize who you're true friends are and I am happy to say that I know for sure who they are.
-Life (in general): I thank God for this day, the ones that have passed and the ones to come. In this life, we make mistakes, we make people laugh, we see people cry and struggle, we get to eat, we learn, go to school, see the sun rise and set etc etc... No body in this life is perfect or normal. We are who are because we just are and I am so thankful for that not just today but everyday :)

life to me is this; being able to appreciate nature every once in a while, being able to get way and know that everything's gonna be ok! 

P.S: HAPPY THANKSGIVING! all day, everyday

Home

I shall be home sometime today. This college life is wearing me out but I am sure enjoying every aspect of it. My theory is that this life has already been planned out for us. But, at times, I feel like life's a gift and it is up to us to make our own destiny, to go where were want to go, be who we really want to be, follow and build our own path. And to be honest, the path that I've built for myself always takes me home (to my parents, brothers, and sisters).  But then I go back to my previous "theory" and think that my life has already been planned out for me. I chose to go to college but sometimes I question my reasons. We all want to better ourselves and give back to our community or what not but that should be done by doing what we love, what we do best whatever that might be. Perhaps that is why we (students) lose motivation, because at times we fail at doing something we thought we loved doing. But I shall be home soon where I can forget about school for while, where I can get my motivation back. HOME SWEET HOME. 

xoxo,

L.

Break come soon!

What is Thanks Giving? I've heard many stories about the real meaning of thanks giving and how it came to existence. Some stories are good some are, well, just okay. Whatever the meaning might be for each of us, let's just enjoy it with our family and our loved ones. Let's not worry about black friday, material things come and go but family will always be there. I am happy to say that i'll be home soon enjoying a delicious home made meal  :)

we need to learn to appreciate the little things this life has to offer 

over & out,

Lucy.

One down...

First blog and I'm already  freaking out. I've been wanting to blog for a long time but I wasn't sure about what. But, we'll see where this takes me. Topics will be chosen at random, depending on how I feel. I might share something I learned, new music I've discovered, a movie i recommend watching, anything! I don't expect anybody to read it but if you are reading this, know that I am happy even if you think you've seen millions of blogs like this one. I try to live in the moment, go an many adventures as possible, and take as many risks as possible (or not really haha). Today I will start by saying that I am ready to take on this challenge called blogging. I call it a challenge because it is something I have to keep up with, something I must up date every other day if not everyday. One down, many more to go...

life's what you make of it...it's time to stand out.
