one of my favorite Pablo Neruda poems

don't go far off, not even for a day, because --because --
I don't know how to say it: a day is long
and I will be waiting for you,
as in an empty station
when the trains are parked off somewhere else, asleep.

Don't leave me, even for an hour, because
then the little drops of anguish will all run together,the smoke that roams looking
for a home will drift
into me, choking my lost heart.
Oh, may your silhouette never
dissolve on the beach;
may your eyelids never flutter into the empty distance.
Don't leave me for a second,
my dearest,
because in that moment you'll have gone so far
I'll wander mazily over all the earth,
asking,
Will you come back? Will you leave me here, dying?

It is morning... the best part of my day!

Good morning followers! I am loving the weather these last few days; sunny one moment and hail the next. My mother told me about snow tomorrow and Friday. Most people have been complaining about the weather. Personally, I like it. Yes I have to be extra careful on the roads, but all this rain has taken away the snow. The thing is, people like to complain about nothing and everything at the same time. I love changes in the weather. We were spoiled on Monday with a sunny afternoon and nature knows what she does. ^_^
Life: My father's back at the hospital. After some tests they discovered he had a mini-stroke in the back of his brain which has caused his dizziness. It was a hassle to get him to the hospital; he's the typical Spanish person who decides that being at home is safer than being cared for by professionals. I have to admit, I see this in myself. Whenever I feel a cold coming on I just drink a lot of Vitamin C. I don't really believe in medicine. My body could heal itself from just about anything.
Love: Still not dating anyone. I continue to keep in touch with guys as friends. Nothing serious, just hang out, talk and text. Sometimes a girl just needs great guy friends and not a relationship (unless she feels she could see a future with one). I still miss J from time to time. He'll always remain in my heart.
Sense of Humor: An old text I found from J:"Sorry bebe. I knocked out. I hope your having a great sleep. I really truly adore you. I never adored another girl in my life the way I adore you. Appreciate my love bitch haha jk. Love you babe. I hope I don't wake you up when I hit enter. Then ill get cranky super mean tima. Wish me luck 143. Muah"

Well, Hello there loves!

Be as care-free as you want to be...
It's been a while, yes I know. It's quite hilarious that every time I come to update it "has been a while." I have been pretty busy with school and work. All right, here comes the updates:

Life is amazing, as usual. Stress here and there but it isn't like last semester where I had no time to breathe. I cannot remember if I stated this before but I am in love with this semester's schedule. Classes on three days and "rest" for four. Quotes on the word rest because I don't really have time to rest. I love to plan new things; I keep in touch with friends, party here and there (yes, a girl has to work hard to play hard!), etc. I started this semester with high hopes and ever since, all has been well.

Valentine's Day was this past weekend. The question on your mind is, did she break her promise to herself? If I was as weak as I was last year, I would have. I am glad to say it will be 10 weeks tomorrow (Friday, Feb. 19th). I am truly proud of myself. Who knew, a Gemini woman could keep her promise to herself. ^_^

I'm still currently single which, I will admit can be a "sad" thing (especially with this winter being a bit brutal). I must say, I've been doing well. No cuddle buddy of any sort. I'm still friends with the Cuban, the 3rd-Grade crush, LC and the Brazilian. I have learned to keep people as friends. My mother (whose birthday is today) always told me the value of a friendship between opposite sex, or the person you are attracted to. Growing up I didn't understand, but after dating J and T, Oh MAN, did I learn. I still think of them from time to time, and wish them the best in all that they do. (WHAT AN EX-GIRLFRIEND!) It's true though. What good would it do if I wish people the worst of luck in life? It doesn't do me or them any justice. There are times I wish I could still have a friendship with the two of them. Then again, there's a reason for everything and this is just another product of "it happened for a reason."

You know, it's crazy how you go from knowing someone well to not knowing them at all. This is why I'm careful this time around. Usually I'd say, "Jump in, the water's fine" but not now. Truth is, I haven't really met anyone I could see myself with. Sounds like a selfish thing to say, I know. I just don't want to commit to someone I know I could not do so. After all, that's what a relationship is, a committment. I was talking to my best friend the other day about how I don't have a crush on anyone and how it's something new to me. Usually I become infatuated with someone for a short period and on to the next, or if we get together it takes me a while to get over them. I don't know, maybe it's part of the maturing process. I'm doing what I advise others to do: "Do whatever you need to do to get where you want to be." Every day I am reminded of a dream I want to achieve, and so I wake up ready to face the challenges with the biggest smile. It's crazy how much I love challenges...things people run away from, I run towards.

Cheers!

-T. Love

Live the life you dream
