Love Will Save Your Soul

I don't know how I can describe how amazing summer was. It is a bittersweet moment to realize those memorable summer days are now behind me, but I know for a fact that fall will be just as good. I analyzed how 2012 was and all I can say is that it's been the best fucking year YET. I don't know how many times I can repeat myself about this, but I absolutely love reconnecting with old friends or acquaintances. After high school I prepared myself and expected to lose a lot of friends, but little did I know that I would have stronger friendships and relationships with people who I wouldn't expect to be close to. I am grateful for the people in my life, especially my family and friends. Despite all the unfortunate events that occurred this year, they put me in a high position in life. They pushed me to learn life lessons and to love life more than I ever thought I could. Let's take this whole drunk driver accident as an example. It left me car-less since July. Yes, it's been a quite nuisance, but considering that school is starting, I do not have to find parking, pay for a parking permit, nor fork over about 200$ a month for gas. To top it all off, I hate driving anyway. It's funny how such a horrible incident turned into some sort of a blessing. Hehehe.

This year, I made a break through with my family. I overcame the hardest obstacle in my life and so much has been lifted off my shoulders. I'm building the ideal relationship with my family that I always wanted, especially with my dad. This year, I got over a devastating heartbreak. I am forever grateful for this experience, because it taught me so much more than I could ever imagine. I did not necessarily need to "recover" from this moment in life. Instead, I was able to finally see reality and create a more desirable life for myself. I am in no need to accommodate to the likes and needs of others because I have solely myself to focus on. I'm not hesitant to hold back on living life. I am able to express myself to the fullest while still learning and creating life as the days go on (this does not mean getting knocked up). This year, I was able to do the things I've always wanted. I finally took a road trip with friends to San Francisco, purchased my Coachella tickets, see some of my childhood memories perform right before my eyes in concert, etc. The plans I have in store in fall is to die for. I can hardly contain myself. So far, in October I have about 5 concerts already booked and in November or December I'm planning to do a getaway weekend to NYC to experience and see snow firsthand!

Okay I'm going to stop myself now because I could go on about how much I'm looking forward to these next couple of months. Hehehe.

Happy Thursday!
XOXO

Neutral Ground

I had the pleasure of going to a concert last night for Sea Wolf. After two years of being in the cave, they still sounded beautifully. Honestly, I had low expectations of this concert at first, but little did I know my mind was going to be blown away. The opening act of Geographer was absolutely amazing. I never knew men with full beards could be so damn sexy. As I stood in front of Alex Church, I was completely mesmerized by his ever so soothing voice. Everyone around disappeared while it was just me and him in the room - and the most beautiful cello player (and pregnant) I have ever seen.I absolutely love the atmosphere of these indie concerts because you are able to encounter nice friendly people (some rude but mainly nice). My new friends Jonnah and Sam were great company and made the concert experience even more enjoyable. I can hardly contain myself to see what happens at Coachellla.

As time flies past, I am in love with life more and more. Regardless of my busy schedule or unfortunate events, I love the life I live and love the people in my life. I am making plans and sticking to it. I being true to myself as well as others. I just wish that there was more time in the day to enjoy how beautiful life really is, but for now, I'm just going to continue doing what I do because it makes me happy. Cliche, but true: "love the life you live, live the life you love."

XOXO
