I'm bound to fall for you

Random Fact #1

I always cry while reading a book.

...

Every single book in fact. And I never feel like a sap, getting so sucked in a book that you can't separate your own feelings from those of the characters is what I love most about reading. For however long I'm reading, I'm no longer me but an entire host of characters with intricate interlaced lives being played out on a huge stage.

I love it.

Reflections

I read this very true but said quote on another girl's blog and had to re-post it.

"We all have the potential to fall in love a thousand times in our lifetime. It’s easy.

But there are certain people you love who do something else; they define how you classify what love is supposed to feel like. These are the most important people in your life, and you’ll meet maybe four or five of these people over the span of 80 years. But there’s still one more tier to all this; there is always one person you love who becomes that definition. It usually happens retrospectively, but it always happens eventually. This is the person who unknowingly sets the template for what you will always love about other people, even if some of those qualities are self-destructive and unreasonable.

You will remember having conversations with this person that never actually happened. You will recall sexual trysts with this person that never technically occurred. This is because the individual who embodies your personal definition of love does not really exist. The person is real, and the feelings are real—but you create the context. And the context is everything.

The person who defines your understanding of love is not inherently different than anyone else, and they’re often just the person you happen to meet the first time you really, really want to love someone. But that person still wins. They win, and you lose. Because for the rest of your life, they will control how you feel about everyone else."

Although I am young and i wouldnt't consider myself to be the most knowledgeable when it comes to love or its main concepts, I find true companionship in this excerpt. 

Mainly because I find myself questioning 'love' and its values and is it really just a word? I go over past relationships sometimes not able to remember all the bad that happened and only remembering the good although i know for a fact that we experienced enough bad times that we no long could be together. 

So now I am in a new relationship and trying to figure out what is love and what is a matter of comfort and convenience is becoming more difficult.

I think overall I just want to be happy, and if one or two small things doesn't meet my ever long list of variables that ALL women create then I can deal with that.

I'm Still Here! *Life Update*

After my last semi-depressed post I am officially back, not so sad and feeling much better.

My life seems to be in a better place, I was finally hired. And not at just any place, I was hired at Torrid a store I have consistently talked about here on my blog as being stylish fun and a great place to find plus size clothing. I have an orientation there this Wednesday and I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous a little.

School started but I have yet to go to a single class...I have a horrible digestive condition that makes class practically unbearable and after a truly unsuccessful visit to a nice but ineffective gastrorentologist I am at my wits end and I'll be calling my regular doctor to talk about another alternative. 

And on top of that I have books that are costing a hefty 500usd this semester. The current situation with my parents is that I am made to feel that asking for money is out of the question but this is a dire emergency. I cant possibly go without books, I mean really.

So that is the update for now, I'll be back soon hopefully with FOTDs with my new WnW eyeshadow palettes I purchased last week.

Those words hurt...Now what?

I've been on a very private personal battle with weight and body issues...something that no one close to me knows about. I've decided to talk about these feelings in small bits and pieces so I become more comfortable with it. Here is my blog post from spark people, an awesome site that is more about lifestyle changes than losing weight.

Those words hurt...Now what?

Summer Wishlist!

It has been way too long since my last post to my beloved blog! I know I don't have any followers but I somehow still feel obligated to keep it updated for anyone that happens to come across it and find it even mildly interesting! So many computer problems that lead to the death of two of my laptops and the purchase of a new desktop computer is why I am finally back! Damn, I have a good bf...

So onto the good stuff, I am currently in the process of getting a job which has been really hard and so have my finals. It's just a lot but I still find the time to look at clothes online. A girl can dream can't she?

So here is my current summer clothing wishlist:

ASOS CURVE Flared Floral Dress

$73.86

Sheer Button Up Top

Embellished Lace Front Top

As you can see if you have made it this far, I have a severe lust/addiction for ASOS clothing. It all just seems so lavishly lush and well made, which is hard to find in plus sized clothing that isnt just scraps thrown together. If its made better it will certainly look better.

Also I'm obsessed with dresses and feminine qualities, hence the choices above. 

So thats my wishlist/lusted items. 

Lord help me!

A Week in the Life...

I've been away doing some personal soul searching or reflecting on my life, something like that...and through it all I've had so much school work to do and for most people you get lost in the mix of books, papers, and yellow highlighters. 

So when I was messing around with my borrowed camera I figured out how to do timed shots. This way I could photograph more than my larger than normal head! Which was exciting but frightening at the same time. 

I've been into health lately and I would always watch shows about people changing their unhealthy lives for better ones, and these timed photos would make me face what I've been avoiding ever since I started documenting my life on the internet.

What other people see when they look at me...

It's easy to take a picture of your mug and keep it moving...it's yours, you know its best angles and how to make it look its best. But your body is something completely different. Even standing in a mirror sometimes doesn't truthfully show you what you have until its frozen in time as a permanent reminder of what people see you in your everyday life.

But in getting to the point, a week ago when i took my first body picture in YEARS was the day I realized that I wasn't where i needed to be. How have I been fooling myself for the last couple of years pretending everything was fine when in reality my health has been going downhill and so has my body.

To be honest...I'm tired of my personality making up for my fat ass. I have no problem with being plus sized I just think Ive gotten out of control. I will never be a size 2, but where I currently am is unacceptable in my eyes. I am beautiful but I am not reaching my full potential, and that's that.

A week in the life...

Forever 21 Accessories Haul!

Went to Forever last week and completely forgot to make a blog post about it. All the accessories I purchased are put away so honestly I don't feel like taking all those things out and taking pics, way too much work for someone with school to think about. Priorities people! 

But to be fair I'll link what I managed to find on the forever xxi website instead, most things I couldn't find, but trust me a simple trip to the store will remedy that.

Purple Flower Studs

http://www.forever21.com/product.asp?catalog_name=FOREVER21&category_name=acc_earrings&product_id=1064787894&Page=all&pgcount=25

Turquoise Variety Earring Set

http://www.forever21.com/product.asp?catalog_name=FOREVER21&category_name=acc_earrings&product_id=1064786785&Page=all&pgcount=25

Dream catcher inspired Necklace 

http://www.forever21.com/product.asp?catalog_name=FOREVER21&category_name=acc_necklace&product_id=1064787446&Page=all&pgcount=25

I wouldn't suggest buying jewelery from forever unless you know the scale exactly. If I had seen that necklace online I would of never guessed how big it is in person, that little ruler they use on the website doesn't help whatsoever.

Onto the video!
