Sappy Sunday- Forgive Faster
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 :(
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!
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.

Sappy Sunday- Appreciate What You Have
This week was really a crazy one. I had so many things go wrong but after complaining about it for so many days I realized things could have been 52 times worse. It seems even though bad things happened to me all week, someone was still looking out for me because I walked away safe. I had two situations that could have definitely ended with me seriously injured if they had gone just a bit different. It is wild to know that life is a constant test, after the initial shock of bad events I try my best to sit myself down and review the message. What is being taught to me? What can I learn from this? Almost always you will extract a positive from the negative.
We must also always remember that there is tons of good happening to us as well, don’t forget how good you have it the majority of the time! Like everyone says, sometimes you gotta make it through the rain to appreciate the sun. If you are going through a similar situation, really try to see the good in the bad, I promise it’s there.
So, even though this week was crappy, I learned my family & friends will come to the rescue and it was nice to know that no matter what happens I have that support. I am lucky to have it
Thanks to everyone who helped me out this week I LOVE my Fam & Friends so much! Was a great weekend!

Sappy Sunday-How To Deal With Envious People
Lately I have been dealing with people suffering from serious envy and jealousy issues. Correction, not people, but friends. I am jealous of my friends often, but not in a bad way, if my friends have something cool or different, and I want it, I am not afraid to tell them. After all, they’re my friends… there shouldn’t be unhealthy competition amongst friends, I surround myself with motivated, smart people for a reason, because they inspire growth.
I often come across cool opportunities which my friends know I share with everyone. I want my friends to succeed, to be the best, to be happy, to experience awesome new things so I never leave anyone out. I really do offer my connections to all my friends, but lately I have had friends not giving the same. You know you all have that one friend who sneaks off to the cool stuff, and doesn’t invite you?
Sappy Sunday~ Seize the day!
This Sappy Sunday really isn’t Sappy at all, instead it is about having fun! Lately I have been all over the place but I wouldn’t have it any other way. So many times I have cool opportunities that I invite my friends to, and almost always they say no! I don’t understand it? I always say YES!
I know people have priorities and other things going on, but I personally want to experience as many cool things as I can. I love spontaneity and randomness. Your goal for this week? Do something you normally wouldn’t and have a blast doing it Hang out with someone you might not usually hang out with, try out new things or places, step out of your comfort zone… Sleep in, eat dessert, put off a bit of work for a day, it’s ok! (Don’t do these things every day of course 
but once and a while it is ok to break the rules!) Enjoy the present and don’t worry about the future, forget tomorrow’s test, carpe diem!
“Live life fully while you’re here. Experience everything. Take care of yourself and your friends. Have fun, be crazy, be weird. Go out and screw up! You’re going to anyway, so you might as well enjoy the process. Take the opportunity to learn from your mistakes: find the cause of your problem and eliminate it. Don’t try to be perfect; just be an excellent example of being human.”
“If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun.”
“As you grow older, you’ll find the only things you regret are the things you didn’t do.”
“You live longer once you realize that any time spent being unhappy is wasted.”
“Most of us spend our lives as if we had another one in the bank.”
“When your life flashes before your eyes, make sure you’ve got plenty to watch.”
So far so good, I have plenty to watch, and can’t wait to add more… do you? 
Sappy Sunday- I ♥ Me
It really is true, in life, you get what you give, but sometimes I think people fail to realize their own worth. More and more people I see are settling for jobs, boyfriends/girlfriends, friends etc… below their worth. But until you recognize what you deserve from life you probably won’t get much more… today’s Sappy Sunday quote:
“Life gives you exactly what you tell it you’re worth.”
Simple as that. Unless you are asking for more, working for more, wanting more, you’ll probably end up with less. Most people get too comfortable/lazy with what they have currently and accept it out of fear of failure or rejection. Think about the things in your life, the people, that boyfriend, that job… if you know you’re settling, take a risk, ask for more, show people your worth and how bad you want it and most likely you will receive it, or be one step closer to it at least
Happy Sunday aka Monday shhh oops
Sappy Sunday
This week my lesson was realizing that it is ok to let some people in your life go. I always struggle to walk away from people I am close to, but I finally have come to realize that life can be much better if you eliminate the people who constantly bring you down.
“All things that aren’t meant to be come undone, let them go, let them run. Keep steady & you’ll see love stays when you set it free.”
I thought this was an interesting way to look at failed relationships. Whether it be friendships or romances, if things are falling apart, they most likely are not meant to be. Instead of trying to understand why they fell apart, or trying to hold on over and over, people need to be more willing to simply let it go. Sometimes it is easier to just drop it. If it comes back to you then you know it was meant to be. So the Sappy Sunday lesson today is to recognize those people you must let go and just let them go
Gonna go cry myself to sleep now considering my Chargers lost today, gn xo
