I Wanna Talk About Love

What is love, and is there enough of it going around today? So many times we tell the people that love us that we love them, but what's wrong with loving a stranger? And I not be surprised if some of us don't even tell the people that we love, we love them, either. Love is free and it takes little effort, but for some of us it is the hardest thing to do. I feel that if we had a little more love in our hearts, society would be a better place. With love, there is no room for judging amongst one another, backbiting, jealousy, or hurting. Even if one of those does occur, love allows us to forgive and even forget, if we wanted to. I wonder if I could ever love so selflessly, but then I realize that there is nothing to wonder about. I feel that we are created to love and to be loved-period. There are so many distractions like personal gain, which includes: success, status, and money. We forget the small things like giving selflessly, sharing, caring, and volunteering our time to those less fortunate. All of the things learned in elementary school are not taught anymore. I think they are things we need to know the most about, even at this stage in our lives.

Love to me, is not just something that we should say to our spouse or lover. To me, love is an action that includes being there for someone when they don't deserve it or may not even know what is best for themselves. Love is treating someone how we "should" be treated, I say "should" because some of us don't "want" to be treated with love. Some of us have a self-perceived image that we are not worthy of love, but those of us that feel that way need love, too. After all, we are created to love and to be loved-period.

People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered. Love them anyway. -Kent M. Keith

Spring Break

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!....lol..... It's Spring Break! A friend and I have a road trip planned. We planned on going to the Galleria Mall to shop. So far, I got a manicure and bought somethings that I have been on my list, for a while. I think I might go to My Spa, My Way, I finally have the time..... but not the money lol. A break for me would be a break without go to see a movie. I don't know what I will do today, maybe I'll just do nothing....not. I don't know what I am going to do, but I am going to do something. Maybe I'll take a pre-roadtrip to Northwestern to see some old college friends. I've been wanting to go for a while.



I got all my work done, and I went to class everyday this week. This break is well deserved and needed. I haven't been this happy to be on a break in a while. I guess I have really been working hard this semester. Well, I guess it's time to get back to my retreat. Talk to you soon!

Saturday Night

I am a college student, stuck in the house on a Saturday Night with nothing to do. I am trying to come up with something, but I can't figure anything out. I guess i'm tired of doing the same ol', same ol'. The options are to go to a movie, eat, or the Boardwalk, and that's what I usually end up doing with a few friends. My friend sent me a text, and we are in the same boat. She doesn't know anything that's going on tonight, either. I can't wait until I turn 21 on June 12, I'll have more options to go to places that stay open later. There is this nice place, but it is for people 21 and up. I cant't wait to see what it's like. I've heard good things.

I would like to be in my own apartment, invite some friends over and just chill. I would like to go to something where there is a purpose and a cause at hand, like a banquet or a charity ball. I can't wait for spring break. I would like to travel more, too. Hopefully, for spring break me and some friends are going to go on a road trip. So far, today, I did a load of laundry, cleaned my room and go a little homework done. I'm thinking going to go to the LSUS game. That's what I think i'll do. I am going to the game. I am going to text her back, and suggest gonig to the game. I will be supporting my school and having fun at the same time.
