Do you believe in magic? ...For Ms.Heart...



This entry is dedicated to the one and only Ms. Hearts for her Half Birthday. Even though to many their half birthday is not as significant but to my sister Ms. Heart, this day has been celebrated in many occasions growing up because her birthday was always skipped due to the summer break.

Anywayz... in recent times our family has gone through a pretty Big CHANGE. What is that Big CHANGE you may ask? Well in September, Ms. Heart will become Mrs. Heart. As a result of this momentous life changing event, I have found that I have changed.

I am a girl who has always believed in love, but that being said I also believe in my independence and am in no rush to be in love. When the day comes, it will surely be an interesting event.

Well in light of recent events, I have been changing the way I look at Love. Now I am still young and do not want to get married. I love the fact that I live in freedom but after watching Ms. Heart with the Future-Mr. Heart, I find myself thinking about my future-Mr.Diva. Growing up with parents who have the legendary type of love that people can write the greatest love songs, stories, movies about we have high standards when it comes to falling in love. I want to be 90 years old and runaway with my husband to spend time alone; but in college I was constantly told that love stories like those don't exist anymore. People are too skeptical now days and believe that you can fall in love but don't expect something magical to happen. Well, as stubborn as I am I refused to accept this fact. I said I would rather be single for the rest of my life then settle with for anything less. I'm not saying there is nothing wrong with just falling in love, but seeing my parents and how much they love each I just don't want anything less. So when Ms. Heart met her future husband to be, my hope was renewed. In the mist of busy and crazy New York City life, she managed to find her one true love, or more like God brought them together to show those around them that magical love does exist. After spending one weekend in January with them, I was suffocated with their "cuteness" but I was also extremely aware of their pure tear jerking joy. You can't help but secretly smile and then make fun of them because you can't wait for the day that they gush over you and you future who. I still am a happy single independent girl but I look forward to grow up and know that I can believe in Magic.

So here's to Ms. Heart, the girl who is a living proof that magic does happen everyday.

xoxo

the cost of writing...

There is a cost to writing. A cost that many don't think about. A pencil and paper might be a buck fifty. A nice pen and fancy journal might be twenty dollars. A decent laptop/computer/ typewriter goes even higher than that. But even all that doesn't compare to the cost of time. The time it takes for us to realize that brilliant thought you had might be worth writing down. The time it takes us to hunt for the cheap or expensive utensil to write it down. Then there is the time it takes us to edit and refine our thought from a piece of carbon to a beautiful diamond.

Still, even with this great cost of writing, writing is a lost art form that is totally worth it.

Every thought is precious, every anecdote a gem. Write it down. Share. After all isn't that what helps us process our F.E.E.Lings?
