So you know when your having a really great day or maybe just a good day and your in a good mood and then all of a sudden something happens that completely ruins the entire day?
...yeah well I had one of those days today.
Somebody decided that they wanted to insult one of my closes friends who I hold dear to my heart and who is like family to me and when someone decides to comment on one of my friends well you better be wise with what you say.
I hate the fact that people can just judge other people just because they do something that that person doesn't think is ethical enough or is proper. I mean you don't even know the true person behind what they do and you can't get past your prejudice walls to get to know them. I mean it might be clique to say but "DO NOT JUDGE A BOOK BASED ON THIER COVER".
I don't really have much to say today other than that quote right there because it basically says it all and if you are too ignorant or naïve to take it and apply it in your life then you should be ashamed of yourself and so should anyone who knows you.
That's it.
My Advice: Don't take for people for granted...they might surprise you.
Sincerely
Nina <3

It's Been Awhile
It's been awhile since I last blogged, sorry for that to all of you who read and absorb all I am saying. Life has been really hectic lately and it looks like it won't be slowing down any time soon. I wish it would though because it feels to me that there is so much I'm missing out on because the days just roll on through so fast that if you blink you will probably miss out.
In other news though... I wanted to talk about pressures today and why we give into them.
The other night I was at a party and for some reason I started drinking and for someone who doesn't drink that much or at all for the matter it came as a big shocker to me when I realized what I had done. It got me thinking: "why did I start drinking in the first place?" The answer is: Pressure.
Now just because people don't force you into doing something doesn't mean you aren't pressured to do it. The status quo for this generation is so unreal and undignified that it is unimaginable to think of a time when there wasn't nearly as many girls getting pregnant before they get out of high school or to think of a time when college students didn't spend every weekend getting hammered or stoned. I mean what have we come to?
Doesn't anyone remember the stories of their parents childhood and what they did to pass the time and to just hang out. I mean why can't we have a pickup game of some sport and play for hours on end and then go to a friends house and just chill and watch movies. I mean doesn't anyone just get tired of abiding to the status quo that we've seemed to have put in place for ourselves. I know I'm tired of it and I disappointed to say that I'm guilty of abiding to it.
Pressures to do things are always around us and as kids we fall victims to the evil doings of it and we can't control ourselves and rationalize. Pressures are over rated and the status quo is deflated. I find no reason for any of it.
But the reality is no matter how loud I voice this truth it will never change and the world around all of us will continue to have pressures and we will always have to live to the status quo,
My advice: Try and break that status quo and be that one person that stands mighty and tall. Don't give in to the pressures of society but be an individual that does their own thing rather than be a groupie that does what everyone else is doing. BE DIFFERENT YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE!
Sincerely,
Nina <3

Gay Marriage Support Outbreak
Lately on Facebook all anyone has been concerned about is whether or not gay marriage is right or wrong and where they stand in the argument.
Everyone has the their own beliefs, values, and opinions. It is impossible to try and change someone's mind once they've made it up... I mean you can try but it will be a lot of hard work, frustration, anxiety and a slim chance of success...not so worth it.
Let them think what they want. If its opposite from you then deal with it because you have your own thoughts and they'll just have to deal with that fact too.
In my opinion on this whole thing is short and simple and too the point.
...Marriage is a right, a freedom, an option to all those in this world who have found someone that they want to be with forever.
....Love is a gift that each of us posses and given the option of who to give it too. It does not come with a handbook or a rule book.
What a person decides to do with that love is their choice. What actions they decide to do to preserve that love is their choice.
Gay marriage is just a label that we have all put on the face of all those who are gay to make them feel lesser of themselves.
Think about this... has there ever been an instance in your life that you did something that somebody did not approve of? or has there ever been an instance where you decide to marry someone of opposite sex even though everyone said no to it?
If you answered yes to either of those questions then you now deserve the label of a hypocrite.
My advice: Don't give a damn about what others think just because it makes them uncomfortable they are not you and they do not live your life and love the people you love.
Sincerely,
Nina <3

You are Beautiful
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=xGPeNN9S0Fg
I find this video mesmerizing.
It's not because its One Direction and they're all that any girl can talk about... but because what they say in this music video is the foundation to many great relationships.
How many of you out there are with some one that doesn't appreciate you? or critiques you? or puts you down?
If you are please get out of the relationship full speed running no matter how hard it might be because at the end of the day you will find someone who will accept you and treat you the way you should be treated no matter what faults you have. Your faults make you special. You should embrace them. And so should anyone else who wants to befriend you or love you. Never settle for less than you absolutely deserve.
This song is the handbook for how a woman should be loved and how a woman would like to be loved.
Now I'm not going to speak for every woman because we are all different but I am convinced that at least one verse of this song can touch every single woman on this planet.
My relationship is with my best friend. He is everything I am not. Where there are flaws in me there are strengths in him. And where the is strength in me there are flaws in him. To me that's the best kind of relationship. One where no matter how crazy, or stupid, or weird, or just out right abnormal you act like your partner still loves you and still accepts you.
Do not be scared of embarrassment. Accepting embarrassment and striving for embarrassment is the best thing you could do for your self. Because it shows that you are not afraid. Don't be afraid.
To the men: accept your women or the women around you. Don't make her feel less than she really is or ignore the fact that they are not perfect. Reality check: WE ARE HUMAN! We do dumb things and we make fools of ourselves but hey who doesn't!
My advice: love everything about yourself and the ones you love because one day they'll be all you have left. Resentment is not a fathomable.
Sincerely,
Nina <3

They Are Not You
Four words. Four very simple words that hold so much depth and meaning and understanding and interpretation.
It is easy for us to walk the side walks to our streets and think I am just like everyone else. And yes sometimes the ones closes to us make us believe the same exact thing. Never giving us the opportunity to feel different or unique or special. And when we do take that step outside of our little comfort box we sometimes get thrown down, and then thrown down again and then again. It is impossible at some points to feel anything but exactly like everyone else.
This picture imitates the idea that we can be whoever we want to be and that if those around us can't hack it to toss them aside and find someone who will think of you in the context of those four very simple words.
When you find that person, whether they are a friend, a loved one, a lover, a teacher, a coworker...whoever they are embrace them and thank them.
Because they have reminded you and assured you that you are different and unique and special.
My advice: They are not you. So don't make them be you.
Sincerely,
Nina <3

Funny in that way...
Isn't it funny that when your world seems to be going exactly how you want it to go and makes you feel exactly the way you want to feel something unexpected always gets blown our way knocking us off of our hiatus and telling us NO!
I don't think its that funny.
Recently, I've attempted to transfer universities and I got lucky and was accepted to all the schools I wanted to go to and had so many doors beginning to be opened for me. I received good amounts of money from them and I felt accomplished. Not only that but my school work at the university I am attending I had all my work completed and done and everything was great. No stress. No worries.
Boy, did I have it wrong.
My grandpa past away the morning after I found out I'd been accepted to my #1 school. My world crumbled to pieces right before my eyes. How could it be that life can be so joyous and magnificent one day and completely mournful and sad the next. I never got the chance to tell him what I'd done. I never got to see his lips turn up and his eyes glisten because he was proud of me. Never got to hear him say the words I longed to hear which were "You will do great things one day". Something he always told me when I successfully did something. He was my motivation.
And now....now I am broken. And I don't have the fight to want to go to a different school or pursue something bigger than me. Without him around I feel as though I have lost a part of me that always pushed me to be more and do more and not think twice about what the outcome would be because no matter what happened I had strived to do it and that's what was important and what I would carry with me for therest of my life.
Now, that's all gone. And so is he.
Life is funny that way, bringing up one and tearing you down the next.
My advice: Role with the punches, even if it takes you awhile just role with them.
Sincerely,
Nina <3
