Five Lessons About How To Treat People →
whimsical-wanderings:
1. First Important Lesson - “Know The Cleaning Lady” During my second month of college, our professor gave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions, until I read the last one: “What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?” Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was tall,...

Sick and Tired.
I’m sick and tired of playing it safe.
Now, I don’t play everything safe, but I have a tendency of sitting in my comfort zone, no matter how unhappy I am. I’m nowhere near afraid of change, I just think that I ponder on change so much that it ends up freaking me out because I think too much about it.
Currently, I feel like I’m playing it safe in my job and it is...
Reinventing the Wheel.
I’ve decided that I want to reinvent myself. I want to create myself a whole new wardrobe. I want to redecorate my room. I want to reinvent my perspective on life.
My issue is where to start …and where to get the money to do so.

WARNING: I am not here to criticize anyone or point fingers. I’m simply just stating my mind. And I will NOT spoil anything for those who haven’t gotten to see the movie yet, but if you haven’t read the books, it’s probably a spoil.
As everyone in the world knows, last night was the bittersweet premiere of the very last Harry Potter movie ever. It’s over, it’s...

I Want More.
I want something more than this. I want something big, something better, something larger than life.
I don’t want to be ordinary. I don’t want to live a routine. I don’t want to be content. I want my life to be a roller coaster of ups and downs, highs and lows, goods and bads. I want it to be extreme and complicated, yet wouldn’t want to change it for anything. I want...

My Room.
I miss having a room. I miss having that space to yourself and just you. I miss having big, thick comforters. I miss having all my clothes spread across the room. I miss having bright colored walls and crazy patterned comforters.
My room was never exactly what I wanted it to be, but it was my room. And I would like my room again, but a new and updated version. I just want a room again.
Secrets.
Everyone has secrets that they hide from everyone else. Some you share and some you don’t. But the one person you are supposed to share with is a significant other or a best friend. But what happens when you have to keep something from that person? People call it a little white lie. Sometimes it is to protect them from something that will just hurt them or sometimes it’s due to fear of...

What if there is something better?
For the past few days, I’ve been feeling that I’m better than what I’ve been doing. I’m better than the path that I’ve been so casually, mindlessly strolling down. I want to do something better with my life. I want to change lives. I know that’s so cliche but it’s what I want. I don’t want to do something mindless with my life. I don’t want to work in a retail store that pretends like it’s saving...

– Lewis Carroll (Alice in Wonderland)
I Don't Know.
I have no idea what is going on with my life. I feel like I’m just going through daily motions and a usual routine. Like I’m a robot. I don’t know what I’m doing with my life right now. I’m ready for summer right now. I need a break to bring me back from this coma.
Consonants and Vowels.
I think I’m going to start writing. Not in here, not for public eye, but for me. My personal thoughts, memoirs, stories. I have a voice and I think I’m going to start making it heard …not necessarily out loud or for someone else, but for myself. For my mind, body and soul. For my heart.
His Demons.
As the lights go dim and the world stays still as it seems,
He tosses and turns, I can feel he’s drowning in his dreams.
I reach over to hold him, touch him, tell him it’s alright.
But if it’s his demons, I know he’s willing to fight.
He’s gone up to battle and taken a beating a time or two before,
But now for me, I know he aims to defeat to settle the score.

Love.
smoothmovejade:
Maybe I know somewhere deep in my soul that love never lasts. And we’ve got to find other ways to make it alone or keep a straight face. And I’ve always lived like this, keeping a comfortable distance. And up until now I swore to myself that I’m content with loneliness.
Dearest Jade, I love you and all of your thoughts. You have an amazing mind and in no way in the following...

Clock Out, Please.
For the first time in a really long time, I actually got to enjoy a day off and do things that were revolved around school or work. I did stuff for me—I went to lunch with Alayna, went shopping and obviously gabbed like two schoolgirls in the schoolyard. I wish I had more time to do things for myself. I rarely get to clock out of my work life, let alone be able to spare some free time from...

Life & Quotes
I’m a girl that thrives off of quotes. Good quotes, bad quotes, I could read quotes for hours. I fight with quotes I disagree with and I open my heart and swell with all the ones I love. When I’m in conversation, I often quote the quotes I love to share them with the people I love. I base some of my thoughts around quotes I’ve read. I’ll apply quotes to my life and see if...

Day 28: A picture of something you are afraid of.
I’m not afraid of much. The things that I say I’m afraid of are horses and watermelon seeds, but truly they are just things I don’t like. The only thing I guess I’m truly afraid of is letting the people I love down and letting myself down.

Day 22: A picture of something you wish you were better at.
I wish I was better at keeping in touch with people. I have a tendency of being lazy and preferring to sit at home rather than going out. I always keep in touch with the people who are nearest and dearest to my heart, which rounds up to a total of 3 people I keep in touch with, but I wish I could do a little better with some of my other...

Day 18: A picture of your biggest insecurity.
I don’t have a picture (nor would I want to show a picture of) but my biggest insecurity is probably the inner tube around my stomach aka my love handles and tummy. I have naturally wider hips than most so this extra layer of chub-chub as I call it, makes me that much more wider, which equals an insecure Talia. I normally dress to hide it, but...

My Apple family. I truly couldn’t live without these guys and I don’t know what I was doing before I met them. I have brothers and sisters, uncles and my Papa. Obviously I don’t like everyone, but I still love them as a whole. They are my family. They yell at customers when they are assholes to...

Day 15: A picture of something you want to do before you die.
I have an entire list of things I want to do before I die. But one of my absolutely main things that I want to do before I die is attend the Oscars.
