Songs I LOVE

"Powerful Stuff" -Sean Hayes

"Arms of a Woman"- Amos Lee

"Keep it Loose, Keep it Tight"- Amos Lee

And anything else by Amos Lee. These guys voices are like sex for your ears. Also, I think it says a lot about an artist when the live version is a trillion times better than the studio version.

THIS! Wow

Sometimes change brings better things

These last few months have been pretty crazy, with some ups and A LOT of downs. There are so many things I'm thankful for, so many lessons I've learned.

1. It's cliche but so true, that you need to live everyday as if it will be your last, because you know, it just might be. 

2. Take chances and do as many new things as possible, you never know when you'll get the opportunity again. Trying new things makes life fun, and gives it meaning. 

3. Life is so short and so precious, but not everyone treats it as so. I believe Ryan taught me many things, but perhaps the most important things he taught me after he passed away. I don't get stressed anymore about little things because everything has it's own way of working out in the end. Stress raises your blood pressure and puts you in a bad mood, and who wants to go through life in a constant negative mood? Not me! I would much rather be content and positive, and hopefully my positivity will affect someone else's attitude.

Ryan was always a cool, calm, and collected guy. There are so many memories of him that live on inside everyone that knew him. I think I am now trying to live for him, so I sort of gained that new perspective that it doesn't matter if things don't go your way or someone pisses you off. You just have to go with the flow, get over it, move on, and don't change or lose who you are. I gained that part of him, that I'm-going-to-do-my-thing-and-not-care-what-anyone-says-or-thinks-about-me part. He didn't take any bullshit from anyone, and he was the smartest person I knew. He affected so many people, and I really hope all of them are happy knowing they got to experience being in his life. He was one of a kind.

4. I have also learned who my true friends are. This experience has brought some of us a lot closer. Oh, and my family. Man, my family is THE BEST. Always there when I need them, no questions asked. Loving and supportive to no end. Who could ask for more? 

5. I love my life and although there are some things I would love to change, it's perfect the way it is. 

And now I leave you with my favorite line from one of my favorite songs "All you ned is love"- The Beatles

"There's no where you can be that isn't where you're meant to be..."

Your life is happening right now, in this moment, not two weeks go, or yesterday, or tomorrow, or five years from now. All you have is the moment you are in, and that is exactly where you are supposed to be. Be present in the moment, or your life will just pass you by.

Fun Food Friday

Nutella is really a drug. Hidden behind it's chocolatey taste, it's really just an addictive substance created to ruin lives, and attempts to eat healthy! So while I sit here and scarf down some Nutella ritz crackers, here are some healthy foods for your viewing pleasure.
