Save the drama fo' your momma.

2011-03-30T14:38:00.000-07:00

I've seen thousands of ways to deal with other people's emotional drama. However, few of them result in positive change. Dealing with other people's emotion is a great test of strength. Can you stand still in the storm? You know, I don't mind listening to you and be there for you, but sometimes you got to let them know when enough is enough. There are people who can walk away from you. And believe me when I tell you this, when people can walk away from you: let them walk. Just keep saying to yourself: I choose to not allow anyone to bring me down and to finish what I’ve started. Happiness is a decision. go on, and be happy. Stay positive!

BBBERLIN

A couple of weeks ago, my girl Eshly asked me to join a random bunch of people to go to Berlin with.
It was wunderbar & epic! Berlin has become one of my favorite city's.

I put a piece of paper under my pillow, and when I could not sleep I wrote in the dark.

Be the better person.

2010-12-09T13:18:00.000-08:00

Lately I've been so tired and uninspired. I can't blame anyone except me myself and I.
That's not the only thing that has been a 'burden' for me. The world around me is so crazy,
since I came back from Indonesia. People who are not responding to my messages, emails you name it.
And I'm not talking about random people, the 'real' ones. I have always been the problem solver.
When there's a problem, just call me and I will be there, and I'll try to fix it.
But I've noticed that they're taking that for granted. Because when you have the power of someones trust,
do not take it for granted. Use this trust, to help people better themselves. Despite the fact that I always had that
in the back of my mind, I've decided to step back, and cut those people outta my life.
At first I thought that it was a good thing, no mo drama no mo pain and no mo bullshit!
But then I remembered what my Grandma always said to me:
'You're truly blessed by God, when you show mercy to the people who doesn't deserve it'.
How is that possible? How will I do that? Be the better person. It is a process. Go through problems, not around them!
You should change your habits and your mind will follow. Don't let your pride get in the way,
because 'pride' can be your worst enemy when it comes to making decisions in your life.
Don't make the mistake of thinking your rights are the only ones that count.

'the balance needed for a happy life is illusory' by Yoon Ambush

Life

2010-02-23T10:37:00.000-08:00

Everybody has their moments, breakdowns, breakups or just tired. Tired of life.
I don't want to be the person that complains the whole time, but I have to admit
I certainly complain alot. Complaining makes you feel better for a while, but truth is;
it won't solve anything! It won't solve your problems. God does.
Two sundays ago I went to church with my grandma and sis. And there was a guy around
the age of 28 preaching about his life in Congo. He lives there with his wife and kids, to help the people the best they can. He told us how hard life is in Congo, the rebels are taking over the villages, they kill people, they're raping women. Every single day! Everything he told us was so devastating, but their was a message in his story.

Everyday is a struggle for the people in Congo, everyday they lose people they love in their life, but they never doubted the love of God, they keep believing and they keep saying God is good. God has mercy ! Every single day. And we are fighting about the most ignorant things. Think about it, how lame it is.

How good is life here, compared to the people over there? Keep saying that to yourself,
before you get mad over a small fight with your boyfriend, keep saying that to yourself!

I think that If you stop struggling, then you stop life.
If you learn how to cope, everything will be okay.
And when I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say,
I used everything you gave me.

Everything ends with a beginning.

A goodbye isn't painful unless you're never going to say hello again.

Look, in my opinion the best thing
you can do is find a person who loves you for exactly what you are.
Good mood, bad mood, ugly, pretty, handsome, what-have-you.
The right person is still going to think the sun shines out of your ass.
That's the kind of person that's worth sticking with. ~ Juno

Happy fathersday

2009-06-21T01:42:00.000-07:00

I remember when my sis and I where little.
We always missed our dad because he was working from 06 am till 05 pm
And when he was home we ran like craaazy children towards him
to welcome him home, we did that like everday

I remember when my sis and I always fought about the seats in the
airplane, because we both wanted to sit next to dad..
Ofcourse she won the battle..

To all the dads in the world: Happy fathersday, don't forget your children..
