Songs That Always Inspire Me to Dance

In light of my previous entry, I have compiled list of songs that I personally find irresistible when it comes to catchy beats and enthusiastic dancing. These are based entirely on my own opinions, and experience. For me, whenever I hear these songs, the little “freak on the dancefloor” in me comes out, and everyone present must then bear witness to my oh-so-epic- dance moves (sarcasm! SARCASM!)

The physical act of dancing is considered an art, one where people are given a chance to let loose and let their personalities shine through. For some, it’s a chance to escape from troubles in life and shake away all woes. While for others, it is a chance to self-define, to prove their worth and show the world a side of them no one has ever seen before.

Dancing the night away like marionettes

It is such a beautiful moment that can enjoyed by everyone. People can have the chance to let their inner dancers transpire, and to just push all doubts aside.

Yet there is something major that is making all of this nearly impossible. And that is judgemental people.

Friends: Does it Really Matter How Many of Them You Have?

Okay, my sister sat me down and gave me a very serious talk about how I should resurrect this blog from the dead and breathe life into it again…Okay, she did not physically sit me down, nor did she give me a serious talk, it was more like just a comment, but you get what I mean.

I personally do not think that I am not a very good blogger. I am not that very interesting. Or talented. Or funny. And then, there is the whole factor of me not even having that many devoted followers to begin with. Which, of course, leads to the topic of this post.

Does it really matter how many friends you have?

From just observing movies, sappy cliché books, famous motivational quotes, and any group of patrons gathered at any given bar/movie theater/gas station parking lot, one can denounce that friends=happiness. Such a formula seems very true, but are friends really the only thing that can lead to such a desirable result? And, does having more friends guarantee you a better chance of being happy?

Why I Need to Start Putting Myself First

I am what many percieve to be a happy person, yet I often find myself dwelling on rather serious or morbid topics. And this always surprises people, because they generally expect me to be the chipper one who lifts their spirits. Although I try to be as cheerful and as optimistic as possible, there is only so much that one can do, and after a while, I start to feel like I am wearing a mask that shows the world a happy, smiling face, yet underneath I am really falling apart and suffering. I am constantly working so hard to make other people happy that I do not even focus my attention to making my own self happy.

This a very personal confession, I know, but I do not care. This blog is meant for me to reveal my true self, with all my joys, pains, fears, and worries…If you wish to read a blog sprinkled with happy, flowery language written by someone with a perfect life, then click off of here. RIGHT now…Because I cannot offer that too you. I am sorry. All the words following this only speak the truth of what it is like to live the life as me…

So here I am. Sit back a while, and hear a bit of my story. If you would like to, of course. I hope it will be worth your time…

Loving Someone You Can’t Have

“I have a huge crush”…

This saying has always intrigued me. “Crush”… Who was the one to apply this term, for those that feel a secret affection for another? What is it’s true meaning? Crush…Why do we use this term? I feel that, it is perhaps because we know that most of our infatuations will not be requited.  We know that it is just a little warm feeling, and we know that it shall probably never grow into something more. We know it is very likely our affections will not be returned. We know that we will ultimately be crushed.

Getting Over a Break-up Without Haagen Dazs

What can you do, when your heart has been completely shattered, and feels that it will never again be repaired?

It is a story that is often told. An experience often encountered. Yet when it happens to someone, they feel they are the only person in the world encountering such sorrow, and pain. Life suddenly turns black-and-white, and all of life’s beauties dissipate, and it becomes difficult for that person to see the reason for living. A chance for healing seems impossible.

Yet the sad truth is, is that that person experiencing heartbreak is one among many, his or her loss and anguish does not distinguish him or her from anyone else. It is something people have encountered, are encountering, and shall encounter. An inevitable fact of life. In order to attain something great, one must risk failure and injury. Such is the case with love and heartbreak.

If you have recently experienced a break-up, and feel confused, sad, hurt, or angry, know this: I can perfectly relate, and I am here for you. No, I am not a professional, just another person who has also had her heart broken that aspires to help someone in need.

It is something that will happen to all of us, unfortunately. Yet, when we are plagued by the painful experience, we need to remember that this dark period shall one day pass. It may not seem so right now, but it will, someday. Floods always recede. The sun always comes back up after a long dark night.

It will take time, but it will happen. You just need to know and believe that you will get there.

Why a Little Change Can be Good for Our Lives
