PERSONAL HAPPINESS APRIL 30 2023

“We need to accept that we won’t always make the right decisions, that we’ll screw up royally sometimes―understanding that failure is not the opposite of success, it’s part of success.”

THE RANT – PERSONAL HAPPINESS

This week has been about good vibes for me. Certain things didn’t go my way but I didn’t let it phase me. I didn’t put myself down. Since the pandemic, I have worked so hard to create this peace within me… to allow only good vibes, good energy, my personal happiness. A major let go definitely led to this more healthy lifestyle.

During the beginning of the pandemic, I was going through struggles with a friend. Normally, I would say SHE was the toxic one but I believe it’s fair to just say our friendship, in whole, was toxic. According to her, I always did wrong and to me I always felt tested in our friendship and I felt disrespected when she would yell at me in public like I was a child. Things were so bad she triggered my anxiety to the point where my hands were shaking so bad. I finally had expressed how I felt from the years passing and we ended up having proper space apart for a while. I had to go through this process of was it really all my fault, was I the one that did wrong all the time? Most people I talked to about it expressed their own personal experience or even an experience from a distance and they told me some disturbing stories about my friend. So maybe it wasn’t JUST me. Clearly, she had things she needs to work on herself, like we all do. I think we hung out maybe three times after the space and I realized I wasn’t getting anything good out of our friendship and needed to lightly let go. I wish her well in life but I hope our space may even help her.

I am grateful for my friendship with her though because I learned a lot about myself. And not just with her but with all my relationships (friends, family, intimate ones). I learned I didn’t speak up for myself. I learned I was never one to say no just to please the other person. I allowed people to tell me who I was even though in my heart I felt they had no idea what kind of person I was. All this fueled my anxiety and, I believe, also gave me alopecia.

I am strong believer of things happening for a reason, which includes encounters. Whether it benefits them or you… because of her, I now have amazing relationships. I am a bit more straightforward and when something bothers me, I do like to approach it (maybe sometimes too aggressive haha) but it seems the people in my life appreciate my honesty, even if it sounds harsh. I even approached my family with certain issues I’ve had with them throughout the years, which was hard but hey, I have to think about myself and my happiness and my peace and learning my own good vibes I can create instead of these dark clouds. I hope you can do that for yourself too. I hope you can stand up for yourself. I hope you can be honest with the people around you. If they can’t handle it, then they maybe aren’t for you. And that’s ok. We aren’t made to be compatible with EVERYONE! Ok, I’m done haha.

WHO REMEMBERS SEVENDUST?

Friday I went to the WDHA Rock the Rockfest. Apparently, Sevendust was not on the original set but the original band canceled and they came instead. I always liked Sevendust so I was excited to see them life. They are sooo good live. Great Voice! Here’s two songs, one of them with Chino! Haha Gotta love Chino (Deftones).

MIX OF ENTERTAINMENT

I WANNA DANCE WITH SOMEBODY (Netflix)
I finally saw this movie and I enjoyed it. Although, I realize I really do like movies about bands or singers… even fake ones like That Thing You Do haha. Love that movie…. Anyways, this story about Whitney Houston was really sad. Not sure how much if it was true or speculation. I didn’t know anything about her life other than she has an amazing voice and that she had a toxic relationship with Bobby. Check it out.

A TOURIST’S GUIDE TO LOVE (Netflix)
This film was sooooo cheeesy and I loved it! Total chick flick! Rachel Leigh Cooke ( She’s All That ) looks amazing! I feel like it was a quirky, less deep, movie similar to Eat Pray Love. I enjoyed it!

FIREFLY LANE (Netflix)
Firefly Lane has come to an end and yes… I cried. If you haven’t seen it, it’s a story about the lives of two best friends and the trials and tribulations they go through as teens and as adults, as girls and as women. I strongly encourage you to watch this drama.

SLIP (Roku)
Real quick, Roku streaming app is free! Ok hahaha… So, what got me to watch this episode was from an email I got about new shows coming out. What it said was this… let me see if I can remember… the show is about a woman who can slip into other universes, of her herself, every time she has an orgasm. Lol!! It’s definitely a self reflective type story but I’m a sucker for alternate lives so I had to watch. I binged it. Loved it. Will you?

MOTHER’S DAY COMING UP

I’m just going to throw out there I make candles and I sell tees. Check it out!
