Night out with my Mommy

So it had been a little while since my mother and I got all dressed up and hit the town for a night of fun. We went to Ocean's 11 for Karaoke night, which is very popular in Ocho Rios. I don't know if it was the new hair that gave me a shot of bravery but I actually went up tonight and sang my lil' booty off, though it's not really little. I even danced and had the whole crowd rocking to my performance! I sang Akon's Beautiful. I must say I had  a blast, and the flood of compliments after I left the stage put the cherry on top of my cake! (cheesecake if I should be specific). :D . All in all it was a well needed night of fun.

FriENDships and BoyFriENDS (or GirlfriENDs).....

The "end" is a relevant and natural part of life. To some it may be a sad reality, but that is just what it is...reality. Many friendships (or few) that you have will come to end and the same goes for boyfriends (or girlfriends). They end for a variety of reasons but the similarity is that they END.

My view on this subject is that life goes on. Now don't get me wrong, of course it may hurt for some cases, seeing that we have emotionally invested in these people, shared our thoughts, beliefs and lives with them. However, I do not think it is necessary to be mourning the loss of these people from our lives for years.-__-. They are not dead, though sometimes...never mind. Back to my point, I never saw the big deal people who are not involved in the relationship (the one that is ending) make over the end of said relationship. It is not the end of the world, chill out. These people came into our lives and are now leaving our lives, and trust me, there are plenty more of these cases to come. It is a unavoidable part of life, unless you decide to become a recluse and then all you have to worry about is whether your fave tree might get chopped down some day :/.

The fact is people grow, start liking new things, drift away, start developing different views of the world, go into different directions in their lives and so, this causes tensions and problems which have reached beyond the point of being resolved and so, decided, sometimes unanimously or not, to go their separate ways. 

My advice is to try and find the lesson that this person has taught you from being in your life no matter how large or insignificant the lesson(s) was. Learn and grow from the lesson, then move on with life. The main aim is to be happy. No use crying over spilt milk, or so they say.  I'm sure when some of these relationships ended it was like a weight was lifted off your shoulders \o/. I know personally, this has been the case for most of the relationships that have ended in my life. Maybe that is because I did most if not all of the ending :/. 

Anyhow, if someone no longer has a positive impact in your life or is constantly making you sad, depressed, and yada yada, do not prolong it, cut the cord and move on. You only get one life, unless you're Hindu or Buddhist, so enjoy it while you can. Happiness is not a destination or end point, it is a journey and on going process. 

Visiting my element

My family has been excited since my sister is visiting the island with her hubby and tiny tot in tow. We visited where she grew up as a child, Portland and made the best of what it has to offer which is....*drum roll* the beach!!! The beach is probably my favourite place to be. I feel in tune with nature and at peace whenever I am at the beach.  So to make you guys pop with jelly..:/ here are so pictures of this beauty!

Such a beaut!! I know, I know...this is one of the benefits of living on a Caribbean Island...jealous yet? If you ever get the chance to, come on by and enjoy this first hand. :D. I literally felt sad when leaving the beach...Le Sigh.
