Fashion Fridays (Abercrombie & Fitch)

So my "Fashion Friday" post is 2 days late! I posted pictures of what I bought this week! Hope you like it! (This is quick post)

Military Boots from Aldos $130 (after taxes)
I bought a sweater named Julia and a new spring coat named Megan by A&F

Space [&] Time

"I need my space", "We need some time apart"

How many of us are guilty of saying these things every time our relationship becomes to difficult to handle?

If you answered yes, then answer this question, Is space and time apart necessary?

Apart of me believes that it is necessary because it gives two people time to miss each other; it also gives two people time to work out things on their own. When I try to answer this ? I always contradict myself because I also believe that it's not necessary. If you want a unbreakable relationship you should be able to work out your problems together; if you start to get in the habit of working things out on your own then you'll never be able to overcome anything together; if you can't overcome obstacles in your relationship with your partner then being in a relationship with that person is pointless. No matter how many times I try to answer this question I can never come up with a clear answer...What do you guys think? Is it necessary to ask for space when things become difficult in your relationship?

Unrealistic Expectations?

Tell me I'm beautiful when I'm experiencing my most ugliest days...Tell me you love me and all my imperfections...Send me a handwritten note that says "You mean the world to me"...Build me back up when the world is tearing me down...Make me smile through my tears...Handle my heart with care...Love me like you've never been hurt...Love me like you'll never see me again...Spoil me with your love because the material things are not visible to my heart...

Are these wants realistic? Is it possible to receive all of this and more from a relationship? My answer is yes! You just have to find the right person. I think love is a powerful emotion, anything and everything is possible when it comes to love.

Flaws and All

"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." 

The above quote is one of my favorite quotes by Marilyn Monroe; it explains everything that everyone should expect from their relationship. You should want to be in a relationship where your significant other is able to accept you for who you are; someone that's going to understand that you're human, you're far from perfect. When you find someone that has the ability to look pass your imperfections and still be able to say "I love you", you have found a keeper. In the words of Marilyn Monroe "if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best."

Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day has to be one of my favorite holidays; I love watching people shop for their loved ones, going above and beyond just to see their special someone smile. I despise people that hate on Valentine's Day, their main line is always "V-Day should be everyday", that line grinds my gears! I know when you're in a relationship your partner should do nice things for you all the time, but V-day is a little reminder to remind you of how special you are even if you hear it all the time. I think I enjoy the holiday as much as I do because I'm a hopeless romantic, what's better than a day dedicated to love! I don't mind being spoiled on Valentine's Day with expensive gifts (lol), but I prefer gifts that comes from the heart; instead of buying me a card make me one, the same goes for gifts. To the people that hate on V-day, you either lack creativity to make that one day special than the rest or bitter because you don't have anyone to spend V-Day with. To the people that love Valentine's Day as much as I do, HAPPY VALENTINE's DAY!, have a beautiful and romantic day tomorrow.

New Year Resolutions

I know we're already a month and some days into the new year but I finally know what my new year resolutions will be this year. I didn't make any new year resolutions at the beginning of the year because I didn't think I needed any. I didn't think I needed any because I never realized any of my problems until last night. I posted a few of my new year resolutions below!

Forgive & Forget
I'm not a forgiving person and I hate that about myself; I hold on to things (the smallest things) for a long time. Not being able to forgive people and move on from the past has affected a lot of my relationships with the people I love. I know in order for God to forgive me for my sins, I have to be able to forgive people for their wrong doings towards me. I wouldn't want anyone to hold a grudge against me so I shouldn't do it to others.

Focus on School
I've always been a good student but, I could be an excellent student if I worked harder. I realized that the time I spend focusing on other things can be time used to focus on school.

Get To Know My City
I've been living in New York for 20 years and I feel like a tourist! New York offers their residents so much and I haven't taken the time to experience it all. I want to get out more, meet new people, and explore new areas around my city.

Man-Up
I have no idea when I became so sensitive! Lately the smallest things bother me and I'm starting to hate that about myself. I don't want anyone to feel as if they have control over my emotions.

Bilingual
I want my son to be able to speak more than one language; this is going to be my New Years resolution every year until my son is speaking a language I can't understand lol.

...Trust me this list will get longer!

Superbowl Sunday

As you all know, The Jets didn't make it to the Superbowl. Do I care? Even though I am a New Yorker I could careless. I'm not a big fan of football (wait! I'm not a fan of sports period). The only thing that I know about football (thanks to my boyfriend) is that a touchdown is worth 7 points and a field goal is worth 3 points. Don't get me wrong, I am excited about Superbowl Sunday because people always cook a lot of food for this event lol. I won't be watching the game but I will be watching all the food that I put on my plate tonight! For all my steeler fans I posted a little something special for you guys!

Photo of The Week [Strinky Dink Artwork]

I don't know much about art but I thought this artwork was really cool, especially because it was done by kids! I also like that their artwork represents religion.

Love

I found this verse in the bible and it spoke volumes to me, so I thought I should post it on my blog!

“Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.” (1 Corinthians 13:4-8)

Reading this gave me a better understanding of what love is and what love isn't. It also helped me have a better understanding of my past and current relationships.
