An Apology Goes A Long Way

Posted in: Sappy Sunday Quotes, Your Best Life!

I can’t tell you how many friends I’ve left behind because of petty fights that could have been saved with a simple apology. It made me realize how many friendships are lost because of people’s egos and their inability to just say I’m sorry. It also opened my eyes to who are real friends and who are only friends out of convenience.

People treat one another so disposable now a days, it’s pretty sad if you think about it. I try my best to apologize when I’m wrong, or hurt someone’s feelings, and know I would never let a friendship end because of something hurtful I initiated, so if my friends can’t do the same? I’m not going to beg them to be a friend. If you have to ask someone to care or act like a friend, chances are they don’t and aren’t.

Not sure who should reach out and apologize first? Well, it takes two to fight and two to repair the problem, but there usually is an origin to the fight. If you caused the problem or initiated the disagreement, most would agree it is on you to step up and initiate communication. So they reacted poorly, or in a way that pissed you off in return? Well, try to look past that and remember you, intentionally or unintentionally, caused the initial pain, so try to put your ego aside and take responsibility for where you’re at. Chances are they will apologize as well and you both will feel much, much better after a good talk!

The lesson here is to get over your ego and if you’ve hurt someone you love’s feelings, reach out and do what’s right and apologize. The friendship doesn’t even need to necessarily continue in all cases, sometimes it’s nice just to clear the air, agree to disagree, and both move on with closure and a clean conscious.

“Apologies have more power than most of us realize to restore strained relationships, free us from vengeful impulses, and create possibilities for growth.”

“Apology is the practice of extending ourselves because we value the relationship more than we value the need to be right.”

“We value apology in the abstract, but turn our backs on it in practice.”

“An apology is the superglue of life. It can repair just about anything.”

“Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future.”

“Accepting the apology signals the acknowledgment of a need to move forward, but not necessarily together.”

Lust vs. Like vs. Love

Posted in: Sappy Sunday Quotes

I love when people say things to me that make a huge impression on my perspective’s of life and love, so I always like sharing. Last night at work I was talking to a married guy about cheating and relationships, and how guys seem to be soooo awful these days. This guy told me he was an asshole to girls for 35 years. Girl after girl he’d destroy his relationships until he met the one. He said the moment he met his wife he knew she would be his wife, and he was ready to do whatever he had to catch and keep her. He told me Amanda, every guy you’ve dated hasn’t loved you, the right guy won’t ever, everrrr let you go. One day someone will meet you and say that’s it, that’s my wife. They will love everything about you… it made me think….. a lotttttttttttt.

I started to argue with him like no, no, no that’s not true, my ex loved me a lot, he was just a weak person who made bad choices, but realistically it is true. No man, truly in love, would let his weaknesses conquer the right girl. We love to make excuses for the fools in our lives and we also love to lie to ourselves and tell ourselves they love us but no, people that cheat, lie, and walk away from you don’t love you. They might think they do, they might care a lottttttt about you, but they would commit 100% to you if they were sure about you.

Of course there are those small chances your man does really love you and did make one mistake in the beginning but the way he fixed that mistake is everything. Some people mess up and learn their lesson for good, but others just keep messing up. That’s him letting you go. If he by chance did fix the destruction he caused, and did whatever it took to get you back, then maybe, but all these guys who mess up and don’t change for the better, for good? Not love. That’s a guy who likes you enough to put in a bit of an effort, but not enough to change his ways. Lust vs. Like vs. Love, they’re all veryyyy different. Realize this. One difference between Lust & Love? Lust = Benefiting yourself at other’s expense. Love = Benefiting others at your expense.

So with that being said, my Sappy Sunday of the week, oops it’s Friday… ahaha is “The right guy won’t let the right girl get away. If he lets you go, let him.”

Excuse Me, You Dropped Your… Um, Values?

Posted in: Celebrity Fashions & Gossip, Rants, Sappy Sunday Quotes, Your Best Life!

Every morning I lay in bed and read tweets, it takes me a second to wake up and get focused, and what better way to get focused than to read tweets Anyway, this morning while laying in my stuffy little room, I became so jealous reading all Kim Kardashian’s and her Mom’s Italy tweets, it really got me thinking… if you sacrifice everything you stand for, really, anything is possible. I mean who the heck is Kim Kardashian anyway? Why am I not in Italy with my Mom eating breakfast on some ocean front balcony as paparazzi follow me around town? So annoying! I’ve alwaysssss loved Kim, I really think style wise, she is one of the cutest around, but that doesn’t mean I love who she is, and what she stands for. A lot of people confuse my obsession with her.

Honestly Kim is famous for her sex tape with Ray J, it was 100% planned and her plan worked. I have friends who work in LA and have confirmed that Kim planned the entire thing. Isn’t it just crazy to think that if you just put all your values aside, and do something scandalous, you could be travelling the world living out all your dreams? I find myself questioning what the best way to live is. A super fun, honest, value filled life with amazing family and friends all while waiting for Italy trips to come due to your own real success, or the easy way… taking off your clothes and using your looks to make your way to the top. Bentley’s, beach vacations, boys throwing themselves at her, shopping sprees, I mean I want it alllllllll ahhhhh.

I realize that those things are all amazing, but I could never live with myself knowing at night I had it all because I was a sell out and made a sex tape. For me that’s not real.

It also reminded me of the time my best friend and I sat on the phone calling all the escorts her boyfriend was sleeping with. This one bitch was texting her the most awful things. “Your man bought my tits” When my friend told her she was an empty, pathetic person for selling her ass for a boob job, her reply was “I live a life of luxury and love it!!!!” Are you kidding me???? What is luxurious about selling your entire worth and existence for a Louis bag? You’re a c*m dumpster, I rather be homeless eating pizza out of the trash can than carrying a Louis Vuitton someone else’s man bought after paying to sleep with me. What is wrong with everyone!??! I mean you really think you’re classy because of that purse? You’re a paid whore, there is nothing lower class than that. Read More | Comments

Bad Timing = Bad Person? Or…

Posted in: Sappy Sunday Quotes, Your Best Life!

So I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately, just about life, love, timing… it all gets so complicated and confusing. So this week my Sappy Sunday is about relationships and their timing. Last night at work I was talking to one of my tables about relationships, such a fun cocktail waitress I know… Anyway, he was telling me the girl he was dating was 26 and liked to play games. She liked to flirt with other guys around him and he was telling me how annoying it was because he was all about her and not into games. I told him I agreed, when you’re actually into someone, (Very different than just wanting to hook up with them)… you don’t play games. You care more about the person and their value than to play immature games. Playing games = not ready to be in that relationship. I told him yeah that’s weird and sucks, but maybe it’s just bad timing?

His friend chimed in and laughed, “Bad timing? There’s no such thing. Bad timing = bad person.” It made me think… Do you guys believe in the whole two people in the right place at the right time thing? Or do you believe you could meet your soul mate today, one not be ready, spend time apart, and pick up where you left off? I’ve never thought about bad timing meaning simply the person is bad for you forever?

To me once you start dating someone else tho, the old relationship never is the same. You lose interest and become excited about your new relationship. With both my exes in the past, when we broke up, I had the intentions of walking away but maybe going back at a later date. Looking back now? I’d never everrrrrrrrrr be with either of my exes again. Too much bad happened, too much drama, we all dated new people, old problems would re-surface bla bla no thanks. So maybe bad timing ruins all hopes of a relationship with that person in the future? But then here I go again thinking the opposite, well maybe if what I had with those guys was real, (Key word IF), maybe it could be possible to reunite later? If both parties were willing to conquer all the problems together?

My question to you all I guess is, how long do you wait to be on the same page with someone when dating? At what point do you walk away? Is there such thing as perfect timing or can you work together to create perfect timing? How many games does one endure until its time to let the other “not ready” party go?

Sappy Sunday- Forgive Faster

Posted in: Sappy Sunday Quotes

I am not gonna lie, with my stubborn personality, it is hard for me to forgive people. Lately I have tried to really think about the overall picture, life is too short to walk around with grudges, so I have been trying to be more forgiving. The hardest part for me is realizing that sometimes you just have to put your ego aside and let things go. Once you get to the point where you are ready to forgive, and you realize holding grudges is absolutely pointless, the rest is easy.

I had a falling out with a few friends a while ago for petty reasons and I finally, 974 years later, realized it was so dumb and pointless and forgave them without them even asking for it. I decided I was done letting it drag on and actually went out last night with some of them and had fun. Life doesn’t need to be so dramatic. Forgive and move on. It feels sooooo much better to let things go. One less stress and worry.

You don’t have to like everyone or be friends with everyone, but it’s so pointless to hate someone, especially someone you used to love. Whenever I think I hate something or someone, I always say this quote in my head “People hate what they don’t understand” which makes me stop and think about why I am hating them. Maybe if you just talk to someone and try to understand them, you can avoid hating them all together.

So the Sappy Sunday of today? Forgive people & instead of hating them, try to understand them.

“When you hold resentment toward another, you are bound to that person or condition by an emotional link that is stronger than steel. Forgiveness is the only way to dissolve that link and get free.”

“The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.”

“The stupid neither forgive nor forget; the naive forgive and forget; the wise forgive but do not forget.”

Brittany Murphy Dead @ 32 :(

Posted in: Hot Topics, Sappy Sunday Quotes, Your Best Life!

Another life lost to drugs or so that seems to be what insiders are saying. The world was shocked yet again today when learning actress Brittany Murphy had passed away. The reason? Cardiac arrest aka possible drug use. Perez Hilton actually predicted Brittany Murphy’s death to a local radio DJ here in San Diego while talking about Michael Jackson’s death being the biggest story of the year 2009. Radio host AJ Machado asks Perez Hilton if there is a celebrity that he thinks is heading in the same path as Michael Jackson… his reply?

Brittany Murphy.

Murphy has been accused of having an eating disorder earlier in her career which some believed was tied to a cocaine habit. The Los Angeles City Fire Department confirmed that a 911 call was made at 8 a.m. from Murphy’s West Hollywood home, according to several reports. Murphy’s mom found her unconscious in the shower. She was pronounced dead upon arrival at Cedars Sinai Medical Center. What is weird about the whole thing is her husband does not want an autopsy performed. Interesting.

It really is crazy how scary drugs are and how people fail to realize the damage they posses, I have no desire to even experiment with them. Hello, there is a reason they’re illegal, because they take over your entire being without you even knowing it or wanting them to. Maybe you’re one of the few who can handle doing drugs on occasion, but maybe you’re the person they will control forever, ultimately leaving you dead in your shower? For me it’s just not worth the risk.

I guess it is hard realizing something of this nature while struggling with an addiction. Anyway…we all know how I feel about drugs so I’ll wrap this one up…

Today’s sappy Sunday? The obvious… take someone else’s mistake and learn from it.

“It’s said that a fool learns from their own mistakes, a wise man from the mistakes of others.”

Take a second not only to appreciate what you have but to realize how fast life can be taken from you. If you are fighting with someone, headed down a path you might not want to be headed, involved with a bad crowd, know someone struggling with addiction… you have the ability to change it all or at least give it your best try to while you still can. A second chance is never promised.

Also think about all the drama she endured with that husband of hers, all the petty fights… looking back, they were all so tiny in the overall perspective, pick and choose your battles. I see so many people wasting time fighting over the stupidest stuff. Even that NFL player who just died fighting with his fiance over wedding costs. She has to live with that guilt for the rest of her life. Love & forgive everyone, there is just absolutely no reason not to. One day we will all be gone, lets make the best of our time here together

Staying Positive is HARD… but Possible!

Posted in: Future Husbands, Hot Topics, Rants, Sappy Sunday Quotes

I really hate the generation we live in right now, there is so much bad going on it is hard to stay positive these days. Minus what a great, fun life I have most of the time, people and their values these days seem to be at an all time low and it really is constant work to stay positive and focused on what matters. The loyalty, honesty and respect most people once carried has almost entirely vanished, it’s so discouraging. Everyone you read about is having affairs with random, younger women, trading in their entire hand built marriage for bimbos in clubs or hookers, committing white collar crimes, boyfriends releasing personal pictures of celebrity ex gfs for money, it all makes me sick. People treat each other with no respect.

With all these recent cheaters, combined with my own life experience of crappy boyfriends and friends, I can’t help but go off on a tangent about how crazy our time really is. Even talking to my 82 year old grandma last night, she tells me in all her years alive, right now is the worst it has ever, ever been. How awful is that? To say that in her entire life this society and this nation is the worst its ever been?

It really gets me thinking. What is different? What has changed? Well, I have no idea WHEN or WHERE it changed but things are certainly different. Here are my thoughts on why our society is a total mess:

1. Dumber girls with zero self respect. Bigger boobs, shorter skirts, easier girls. Music videos tell us that is what is hot and wanted, all being told to us by these fool rappers that end up cheating on their wives and girlfriends anyway. The dumber women get, the more men want to use them, the more they don’t respect traditional relationships, why would they? I really don’t blame men entirely. Honestly, if I was a guy in today’s society I would think women were a total joke. Average, normal girls now commonly resort to prostitution and sleeping with married men/celebrities to feel self worth. Like did all these mistresses Tiger was with think they were really the only one? HE HAS A WIFE! Why are you in his HOUSE? Why are you texting him? Because you’re dumb, desperate, and ok with being the total random chick on the side.

Girls are way way way too easy today, they stand for nothing and fall for everything. Are ALL girls this way? Of course not, but overall I think girls are responsible for more than the men. Men have and always will do what they are allowed.
