Glass hearts and their beauty

When tautened by this image below, it almost seems directly negative and lost. 

Notice though, in my title I stated it's beauty. The beautiful thing about this glass heart is that it is Broken. 

How can broken be beautiful...well how can nature be beautiful. The beholder of beauty of course sees beauty in its own way. 

I witness a woman when I see a glass heart, fragile but strong. Stubborn but weak... a woman with a glass heart.

We feel emotions even when we are numb and feels as if emotions do not exist. 

In the past few years that I've live I've learned that even in the dark there can be a beauty, that beauty is in the glass heart. 

What happens when it breaks though? Nothing.

There is no such thing as nothing tho?

There is something that is nothing.

If it breaks we throw it away but not without thinking "can I fix it?" 

Human's who feel pain or face different struggles in the stages of life are like this too.

I say: Keep it, remember the pain but further more remember that the grace of the glass is the light in the dark. 

Remember..it's beauty.

Stop for the sweet tid bits

We busy ourselves daily with controlling lifestyles full of everyday schedules that repeat constantly, well I'd recommend taking at least one day and spend it and enjoy every little portion of it. 

Today, I took the opportunity and went to a local cafe and creperie, Where they serve crepes as a full course meal and also they serve great appetizers and sides! 

Today though I wanted to enjoy something a little simpler, sometime to relieve me of my stress to come and the stress that was building. I stopped for two different dishes 1) Aux Nutella Crepe

2)Tiramisu Crepe

the first dish was simply thickly melted chocolate folded in the crepe n covered by coco powder and powdered sugar. Served with a side of whip cream :>

The second a delicious lady finger cookie wrapped in a tiramisu buttercream filling, covered with the powder sugar and chocolate powder showered by a sweet condensed cream. Three decor layer of nothing but sweet goodness. 

To too it off I grabbed myself a raspberry tea. (I'd also recommend the cafe bon bon- sweet coffee they serve here)

Greedy humans- the antidote (Live a new life)

"Greed, can be filled with simple joys."

There are times in my life when I wonder- if tomorrow was the last day am I content with what I accomplished today? 

Sadly, majority of the time my answer is No. I tend to not live my life to the fullest because to some of us living it to the fullest would mean living on the edge, becoming a dare devil and probably doing everything that is out of our capabilities currently. Today though, I've concluded that honestly, the thought itself is almost silly : I have nothing to regret- we as humans all make mistakes and how else do we learn unless we make those mistakes in life. 

We do not know how to live life to the fullest perhaps to others views, but that's because when we become adults we forget what it means to be content with the littlest things in life. As children did we not like everyone else have curiosity towards simple things like toys, foods, or maybe a cell phone or just pair of keys- such simple things could amuse us as babies. Today we worry about taxes, bills and how tomorrow's expenses and how the future will be impacted by our actions today.

Well, why not just STOP. 

Just for one moment, sit there look at what you may have- sure it may not be a million dollar yacht or your dream car and maybe you don't live in the amazing house you dreamed about as a child... but do you have still have yourself ? do you not still have loved ones- families maybe friends....perhaps just a stranger who helped you today or rather why not be that stranger and lend a hand. 

In my life, I have come across many unlikely occurrences but in the end I have been more than thankful to those who extended their hands to me. Strangers, I never knew before- one helped me with my shopping cart, another assisted me when my car died, and some just help me hold doors.

Simple gestures of kindness- simple little things in life can be enjoyed. Explore yourself again, all those things you "think" you want? Are they truly what you want or just something stuffed into your mind by outer influences?

Spending moments with my family for me can fill me up, sure we annoy eachother but when I have no one it is family who will eventually use their "annoying" ways haha to enter my little bubble. 

We dream, we hope, we crave, but in the end the feeling of curiosity and contentment should be enough to fill our greedy mindsets.

Free yourself, think less, give more, share laughs and tears - Find what your new life.

Being Happy Creates More Happiness

When you are happy do you ever wonder why? Maybe it's because something good has finally happened in a line of a long bad week, or maybe it's just because you've decided that today will be different from tomorrow.
Regardless of what it may be, I may say that today or tomorrow you can always be happier just by making the decision by yourself. Personally, I have learned that happiness comes slowly but it can be sped up if we only surround ourselves with such pleasures. No reason to keep your head in the dumps whenever happiness is just around the corner.

Happiness creates more happiness, thinking only positive thoughts and keeping yourself up and letting a smile overwhelm you is the way to go, this way you can indulge yourself into a new world and experience something that maybe for most is hard.

True happiness actually isn't something that stays, it just sweeps by. That's what makes it so precious. Taking into knowledge that we are all share hard lives, some have a life that is harder than others but overall we need to know that we live in a world that can look the wrong way a lot so one more person staying happy can't do damage.

Keeping happiness is hard, and though it may pass fast- enjoying it once in a while is worth it.

Some fears compliment other fears

A phobia is something that has a background to it... its a fear, an emotion. 

Human's are supposed to be able to control their emotions and once I too believed this. It was until I realized there are times we will lose ourselves to our emotion.

  Insomnia and anxiety all come from the mind over working rather than at a normal pace at night or throughout our daily routines.

   I had insomnia, and now I have gained it back. My phobias have long gone been an issue for me, I keep convincing myself that I am braver than what I appear. But when I am fighting myself, I know of my own weakness and am most afraid to fight an enemy who knows mines. 

  Perhaps in some cases we will have battles to lose, and I hope after this unfortunate one I won't have to face another... because I know that if I had lost myself in this one it wouldn't have been so easy to get over.

My New Addiction

As a woman I feel it is safe to say that our lives revolve around addictions. 

As a human I believe it is safe to say addictions come and go...

In very few years many individuals will pass on some opportunities for others because there is a belief that something better is to come, whether it does or not.

From time to time, I also experience such situations but now my only issues are whether to follow a trend or guide myself upon my own taste and desires because it is simply more pleasing. An addiction is something we become revolved around without our own acknowledgement after all... N currently my new addiction would be facial cleansers

"Clinique" is now my newest tester, I want to see if this item will live up to its name and beauty. I find it to be rather classy looking and very elegant for just cleansers~^^ something new and fun I'd say.  

1-2-3 step care can be bothersome but when it looks good afterwards perhaps it will be worth it :D 

Reminising in the Tunnel

"Reminiscence. Recall. Memories. "

     It is hard to actually recall memories of our childhood, but it is not unlikely once the mind has become attentive to the things that happens around it to recall from time to time memories of remorse, love, or happiness.
The Human Mind has its own way of working why we remember and recall what we do much mean the mind has created a memory tunnel for us to not forget a certain memory. For some people though it is the people in our memories perhaps that trails us back to reminiscence those moments.

[Tunnel Inquired]
It is dark and it is cold,
I am alone and lost...
searching for warmth, i feel bewildered
approaching the tunnel I wish for more
into the past I feel not poor
into the future I can inquire for warmth
Perhaps it is me, her, or he
Memories lost, memories gained
Today I walk into the tunnel
Blinking my eyes to wonder
....memories, lost yet alive
in a tunnel I fear not to strive


....life is that complete maybe.
We know not of tomorrow, know not of the future, but we can recall the past. Remembering things as we like, recalling them as we would enjoy to say.
The tunnel of time, the tunnel of memories, or that tunnel of emotions that keeps us remembering our pains, our loves, our sadness... it no one but ourselves that leaves these trails and caves that leads to our past, and soon our futures.

*tunnel* (photodislcaimer/not my own)
