Everyone deserves someone that treats them like a queen/king. If someone were to truly love you, they would bend over backwards trying to please you. They would do things that they don't necessarily like doing but they do it anyway because they want to make you happy. If they live far away, maybe they'd make some time out of their busy lives to drive down to see you or at least take some time to Skype you. If you live nearby but you both have super busy lives, they could take some time to surprise you with a cup of coffee.
You can't make people care. You can't make people do things. If they care, they'll find a way to show you. If they want to do something for you, they'll do it. If there's something you need or want in your relationship that you're not getting, you need to communicate it with that person. Communication is always the key to relationships. Both people need to listen to the needs of the other. If it continues to be that way, there's really not much you can do. If they want to change, they'll change. You can't change people that don't want to be changed. I think everyone can find someone that would treat them like they're the most special person in the world. Just know that there's someone out there who would treat you way better than you could ever imagine.
Of course it should be reciprocated. They deserve to be treated just as well as they treat you. You need to let that person know that you appreciate all the little and big things they do for you. Just as they should do for you.
I'm so excited about my Florida trip with my boyfriend. We bought our plane tickets and got our seats and it's finally becoming a reality. I've been planning on going for over a year now.
I've been putting a little bit of my money into a jar for over a year. I have sooo many ones and fives but I've really saved enough for my plane ticket and a little more. You guys should try it. It really works. It's money that you don't even notice is gone because it's money that usually goes towards Taco Bell or something.
Naples, FL
Downtown Naples
Anyways, it can't come sooner. I'm looking up all these activities that I can do in Naples. They have so many fun things like paddle tours through the mangroves, swamp buggy tours, dolphin and manatee tours, water-propelled jet pack adventures, etc. Downtown Naples looks so beautiful and it looks like they have some nice museums and art centers as well. It's just going to be so nice to get away and explore new places and do different things.
Harry Potter World, Universal Studios
And of course I can't forget about Harry Potter World! I swear I'm going to spend all my money there. It's my childhood dream come true. My family went without me (the true Harry Potter fan) and they loved it even without the train being open. The train is up and fully functioning now though so I'm sure I'm going to love it even more. I'm planning on reading the series again before I go so I can get even more excited about it.
I'm going to start writing in this again. This is exciting. It's interesting how some of my interests have changed so much within four years but at the same time, my thought process is still pretty much the same. I've been so busy ever since school started. There's so many things I want/have to do. I am so busy with school work, work, and drill but at the same time I also want to hang out with my boyfriend, my friends, and my family. I also wish I had some time just for myself to draw or read or just do what I please. I truly can't wait for spring break to come. I feel so squished with all my school work and I can't wait to just relax a bit. I'm going to be making some time for myself to write my thoughts down on this blog though. It's always nice to look back on my own feelings and thoughts at a different time.
This product is from Gardein and it's called mandarin orange chick'n. It's the best fake chicken I've ever tried so far. At first, I was a little disappointed when I saw that it didn't really look like the cover. Then I took a bite -- and mmm!! So good! It's crunchy and chewy on the sides and the sauce is delish! Even my meat eating, chicken loving younger sister, Jasmine loved it. She says it tastes like the real thing. I told her to try a piece and she just kept on reaching out for more. Now I know to make this when I'm craving some Chinese takeout. 2 thumbs up!
Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man's world! -Mamma Mia
My health teacher told my class that the reason most marriages end up in divorce is because of money. Why is that? That makes me want to question if those two individuals married each other for the right reasons in the first place. I believe that if you truly, madly, deeply were in love with someone, then the two of you wouldn't let money be the variable that tears the two of you apart.
This couple sticks together no matter what. They're homeless and while it may seem like they have nothing, they actually have each other. That's all that matters, right? To find someone that you care so much about that you'd do anything for them and they feel the same about you? And to be happy and feel loved?
The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love & be loved in return. -Eden Ahbez
Money. To me, it just seems like such a stupid thing to fight over. You use it to buy materialistic things. Period. It shouldn't break up love. If that's what it was to begin with.
My Thoughts On Money
Every day you work hard to earn money. Then you keep on saving it. What is the point of saving all the time? Eventually, you're going to die and you won't be able to make use of your hard-earned money. You should just spend it (not like a spendthrift) and be happy. Use that cash (wisely) and have fun with it!
So I was gone alllll summer. I was at Fort Jackson for Basic Combat Training. I graduated from it on September 1, 2011 and since I am still in high school, I didn't go straight to AIT. For roughly 10 weeks, I made the bay my home and my battle buddies my family. I was sooo nervous on the airplane and I grew even more nervous and anxious as us, recruits, boarded the bus to take us to Ft. Jackson. I didn't know what to expect at all. I mean, I researched quite a bit about Ft. Jackson beforehand but research has got absolutely NOTHING on firsthand experience.
Reception lasted about three days and maaaaaan did I hate reception. It was so long, boring, and just ewwww. The girls constantly yelled, argued, and bickered about petty things. That kinda crap gives me a headache. I wasn't used to wearing those boots. Breaking them in is a long, painful process, especially cos I had a giant cut on my foot prior to heading off to Ft. Jackson.
I loved BCT itself though. I thought the people in my platoon were pretty amazing. I wouldn't have traded them for any other platoon in the battalion. I thought it was sooo much fun. Really. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I absolutely loved the obstacle courses. Those things are absolutely amazing. I swear it's like a giant jungle gym for big kids.
I thought my drill sergeants were pretty funny and cool once I got to know them. I was hella scared at first. I did get in trouble for minor things though (lol like dancing). And I did get really sick during the last two weeks. I was coughing all over the place, I got pinkeye, my back and my leg hurt were in pain, my throat hurt like hell, my feet had giant cuts on the heels, and I had blisters on my toes. So during that final PT test, I was a messed up little mofo but luckily I still passed.
I miss my battle buddies a lot though. Making friends with the people in my platoon and even outside my platoon made BCT sooo much easier. I really could not have made it out without them.
The one thing I really strongly disliked doing were the rucksack marches. Actually, they weren't too bad, it's just that I'm short so it's hard for me to keep up with people with longer legs. I feel like I speedwalk the whole darn thing. For some reason I messed up my feet really bad during the last march we did, which is really weird cos my feet never got that messed up before. I even wore my Foxriver socks and lots of moleskin.
Oh well...And even with all the uneventful things that happened to me, I can still say it's an experience of a lifetime. I don't regret going at all. I am actually kind of "baysick" right now. I miss my battle buddies so much. I'm back in school and it feels so repetitive. At least when I was in BCT, I was doing something different everyday. Everyday was full of surprises.
I remember all my battle buddies and I talking about going back home to the "reality" aka "the civilian world" but now I wish I could go back in time and do this whole thing all over. I didn't argue or fight with anyone in my platoon. In fact, I got along with every single one of them. I think about those guys every day and wonder if they miss BCT as much as I do. It's weird, I definitely did not think I would miss Ft. Jackson at all. Sandy, sandy, sandy Ft. Jackson. And did you know that I truly despise sand?
Here's a glimpse of one of the events at BCT. It was the very first obstacle course/event our company did. Victory Tower
Of course it should be reciprocated. They deserve to be treated just as well as they treat you. You need to let that person know that you appreciate all the little and big things they do for you. Just as they should do for you.
