Love&Sunflowers
Strip us all of material wealth and frivolities and what is left? Nourish the soul, mind and fleshy body well... and pray for a safe return every night we close our eyes to sleep.

Oh God.
Here I am again with a case of insomnia tonight. and work at 9am tomorrow… I’ve got only one thing on my mind and it’s my desire to go away next week.
Only eight more days before I leave on my trip to Las Vegas with my very good friend Kaitlin. Surprisingly, I have another friend who will be there too for a few days and so we’ve made arrangements to meet up for at least a day. This trip could not come at a better time with certain things happening in my life in all respects, I look forward to escaping for just a few days, regaining perspective and recharging my batteries.
I dream of laying in the desert sun, tanning with a cold beverage in hand, my worries and stress melting away. I imagine walking around, taking in the sights and meeting new people in the hopes of forgetting some I already know. I plan to party all night, sleep all day and start over again. A few weeks ago, I told my family that I’ll come back from my trip married, à la Britney Spears… no one took me seriously. I suspect they’re bored with the stupid things that come out of my mouth, haha.
What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas?
“Be very careful if you make a woman cry, because God counts her tears. The woman came out of a man’s rib. Not from his feet to be walked on. Not from his head to be superior, but from the side to be equal. Under the arm to be protected, and next to the heart to be loved.”
~Hebrew Talmud

It is during days like today when I remember that there are people and things that will drag you down. Sometimes, we need to hit the pause button, observe the type of life we’re living and evaluate its condition.
Who/what adds to my happiness?
Who/what does not?
Simple as that.
Throw away junk you don’t need. Get rid of the dead weights in your life. (Yes, that includes that hot guy/girl who is toxic and bipolar on you!) Figure out what’s important and weed out the rest.
… maybe that’s easier said than done. But I can do it.
