Hey everyone hope you’re all doing well, Happy Valentines Day to all you lovebirds out there………..to be completely honest I don’t really celebrate nor really like Valentines Day, my boyfriend doesn’t either, so we just pretty much skip it all together……….I know that it’s considered a holiday of some sort and a lot of people enjoy it, but personally to me, it’s just another day.

I don’t really feel like there’s anything special to it, but if some of you guys out there celebrate and enjoy it then go all out, do what you do with it, no ones stopping you, i’m just saying my opinion with it. Now i’m not saying it’s a bad holiday, I just don’t get why there should be a day to show someone you love them!? especially in a relationship, you should always do your best to show your partner how much you love them and care for them as well as how much they mean to you, it shouldn’t just only be on a specific day.

You might think that you have to go all out and do all these extravagant things for them……….but you really don’t need to do all of that, just spending time together at home or at a favorite place you both enjoy, heck you could just play videos game or watch a movie together (and not just the rom-coms kind, don’t know if I spelled that right, but you know what I mean)

You really don’t need to go above and beyond just to have a nice romantic time with your loved one, you guys can just do things simply, also you don’t need to always get roses and chocolates for your partner, unless that’s something they actually like then go on ahead, but what i’m trying to get at is Valentines Day shouldn’t be the only day you say “I love you and care about you” that should be an everyday thing.

Being there and showing your loved one how much they truly mean to you, even if you don’t say it all the time, as long as you remember to take the time to let them know that you’re thinking of them and that they mean a lot to you………that’s all you really have to do, just do your best.

When you really truly love someone, it doesn’t matter what you do, they’ll always appreciate it because they see you care so much and when they know you care, they’ll always be there for you and they won’t ever give up on you, even if you think they would or should and when you really truly love someone you don’t give up on them either…………..

When it comes to gifts like flowers, chocolates, jewelry ect……..all of that doesn’t matter, what matters is how you treat your partner, if you treat them with love and respect and you always do your best to let them know they’re super important to you, whether it’s saying I love you by getting them their favorite candy or food, watching your favorite movies or something funny or weird together, or just sitting and talking in the middle of the night with each other, you know stuff like that…………..

As long as you’re doing your best to let them know in some way, that’s what’s important, not the fancy shmancy stuff (I know that’s not a word, but it’s staying there) what’s important is just being there and showing them you care, whether that’s on their worst day or best day, even if you’re angry at each other, you should still always let each other know you love one another, no matter the situation.

Work for each other as well, because that’s also very important, never ever take the other for granted and always appreciate one another. Try not to give each other a hard time and always support each other in everything you guys do, but also look out for each other as well, because all of that is where the strongest love lies, so make sure to hold on tightly, because once you have something like that believe me………you don’t ever want to let that go, so always be sure to keep these in mind and I hope you all have a great day and for those celebrating Valentines Day, I hope you enjoy it.

All The Love ❤ ❤

Disclaimer: I’m gonna get a little cheesy here so if you don’t want to read this part, you may skip it, which i’m sure you will, maybe, I don’t know ha…….

P.S. Just wanted to send a huge I love you to my guy, although we don’t celebrate Valentines Day, I still want him to know that I love him with all of my heart and I know we aren’t able to be together at the moment, but I just want you to know that i’m really grateful and super lucky to have you, you’re my world and i’m just really thankful for you, I love you load my love, forever and always ❤ ❤

Simple.

You know although the word itself is simple, it doesn’t always mean that everything else is going to be simple along with it. I talked about balance in my last post and how trying to find a balance for everything isn’t always easy, that also goes with wanting things to be simple, as much as a lot of us may try and create a simple life, we also know that, that’s not always the way it’s going to go, especially when you’ve been around busy, stressful and overwhelming things.

Is it possible to be and live simple!? Yeah I believe it is, but it’s all about the way you do it though i’d say…………….if you’re use to the whole chaotic and fast pace lifestyle then, simple is going to feel like a task to get into and with all these habits that we already have within us, it’ll definitely feel like being on a whole different planet. When it comes to all things simple, it seems like it would be hard, but it’s really not, it all really depends on whether you want things to be simple or not, if you want things to be a little more calmer and less hectic or if you just prefer to be stressed out all the time and not get that moment of breath that you probably are needing.

I use to always think a lot was what was better, i’m sure that you guys probably think that or have thought that as well, but when you really think about it, having a lot is actually the opposite in my opinion, when you not only are dealing with a lot and complicating a situation or thought it just ends up bringing more stress and feelings of pressure, same as if you owned a lot of things, sure it may look nice and everything, but having a whole lot around you, especially when you’re trying to stay calm and deal with things the simple way, you find that can have an affect in someways.

I think with simple, everyones definition for it differs, I feel if things were too simple, it might leave you bouncing off the walls, but I also know that if things are too hectic it will drive you up the walls as well………..so i’m thinking that maybe, with simple, there has to be a balance with it, so however you make simple work for you, then I guess things will be fine, i’d say it’s a little simply complicated, but not too complicated I guess………

All The Love ❤ ❤

Monday’s Journal Entry: Just A Walk In The Park (Sept 24,2018)

On September 25, 2018 By Daydreamer LexIn My Journal EntriesLeave a comment

Hey everyone, I hope you’re all enjoying your day, I just wanted to share my latest journal entry that i’ve written in my thought journal yesterday, it’s all about my day yesterday, I hope you don’t mind me sharing it.

Just A Walk In The Park (Monday Sept 24, 2018)

Today I decided to take a little walk in the park, my morning didn’t quite go the best, but I won’t talk about that, let’s just skip to what my walk in the park was like. So I got to the park and sat on one of the benches that was there, I was expecting to write in my thought journal while I was there, but I didn’t really know what to write about so after being there and sitting on the bench for a bit, I decide to get up and wander around, I went and walked to where that river trail is, the one i’m always telling you guys about, I didn’t go down the trail though, I still have to do that, but I did look at the river for a bit, after doing that I then walked along the park trail, I think there were some kids playing by the little playground before I got there because as I was walking down the park trail, I stopped at some really neat chalk art drawings, I even took a photo of them, I thought it was really cute.

They even had a hopscotch game, now I haven’t played hopscotch in forever and so I thought i’d relive a little bit of my childhood and play it again, it was quite nice to go back relive that moment of my childhood. They also drew some chalk bubbles which was nice, there was a dog face as well, a few flowers and some other little drawings too, I took some pictures of them, only of certain ones though. I would’ve taken a picture of all of them individually, but I forgot to put the battery back into my camera, I had it charging the other night and forgot to put it back once it was fully charged, and so I had to use my phone aaaand well, I don’t have a lot of space on my phone so I was only able to take a few pictures, I had to delete some photos off my phone before I took anymore pictures, that’s how much space I have on my phone haha.

I also ran into a baby squirrel, it was the cutest little thing I tell you, never saw a baby squirrel before at least not that I remember, but I saw the baby squirrel on the pathway that I was walking and at first I thought it was hurt, because it wasn’t really moving it was just standing in one spot, but the closer I got to it, I saw that it was fine. I’m not sure why it was in the middle of the pathway, but I stopped in front of it and looked at it, it started moving a little slowly, anytime I tried to get closer to it, it would get a little startled so I left it alone, I ended up seeing it twice, once when I walked past it and when I was coming back into the park. The second time it jumped at me, well not like at me, at me if that makes sense, but a little which startled me a bit and I think me getting startled, may have startled it a bit as well, but the squirrel was okay which was my concern.

It was so cute though, I didn’t take a photo of it which I wish that I had, as you know though I didn’t have my camera well I had my camera, but the battery wasn’t in it and I didn’t have enough space on my phone, plus I wasn’t even thinking about taking a photo I just wanted to make sure it was okay. After coming across the baby squirrel I then walked down towards this waterfall that was nearby and was just admiring it as I walked, I ended up going down the path to where it was, to give it a closer look. I also sat with it for a good while……you know being out in the park, walking with nature and just being with yourself as well is actually quite nice, i’ve found that i’m really enjoying just being with myself lately.

I’ll be honest with you guys, I use to not like going places by myself, because I always thought it was a little weird to just be somewhere with just yourself and I would always think what if I have something I want to talk about, who am I gonna tell!? but I find that sometimes you don’t always need to be with someone, that it’s okay to just take yourself out to enjoy the day even if you’re just heading to the park or going for a walk, yeah sure it may feel completely weird and uncomfortable at first when you try it, but the more you do it, the less weird it’ll become, after that it’ll just become a natural thing. Ever since I first took that walk to the park and continued going after that, i’ve found myself really enjoying my own company, even though I always head to the park to think, but even if I have a lot of stuff on my mind, I still do my best to try and enjoy something. Being there yesterday and looking at the waterfall, taking everything in, while listening to music……..it was very nice and calming, plus I felt happier as well and it’s been a while since i’ve felt that.

So that was my journal entry, well most of it, I did add different stuff to it while writing, but yeah I just wanted to share my day with you guys, I hope you enjoyed it, anyway I hope that you all have a lovely day/night and or evening.

All The Love ❤ ❤

Tuesday’s Journal Entry: Sit and Enjoy The Day With Me (Sept 18, 2018)

On September 20, 2018September 20, 2018 By Daydreamer LexIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

Hiya everyone, I hope that the day is treating you all well, I wanted to share a bit of my day from yesterday with you guys, like how I spent 3 HOURS, yes you read that right 3 hours at the park, that’s the longest i’ve ever spent in the park and I was by myself, normally if I spend longer than an hour at the park or anywhere for that matter, i’m there with someone, but yeah no I literally was in the park for 3 hours and if you’re wondering why I spent that long at the park well in all honesty i’m not sure, it just started out with me going for a walk and normally go to the park for an hour, but when I arrived there I walked around a bit and then went and sat down on one of the benches.

I went to sit on the one that I normally sit on, but it was wet from it raining a bit in the morning or night and so I ended up sitting on the bench across from the one I always sit on and to be honest I think I like that bench a bit more than the other, i’m sure you’re probably thinking what i’m on about and that they’re just benches and i’d say yeah you’re right, but that’s just me……moving on, the weather was something yesterday, it looked like it was gonna rain again, but it didn’t, it was half sunny and half cloudy, but you knew that it was gonna rain at some point, you just didn’t know when. With the way it was the weather, I thought it was gonna rain while I was at the park writing, although I enjoy the rain, I wouldn’t have loved it if it rained while I was writing, however it didn’t rain while I was there so that was quite nice.

I sat on the bench for a good while, I brought my thought journal with me and started writing while also listening to music, I was listening to one of my favorite artist her name’s Alexz Johnson, sometimes you just need a muse or inspiration to write to and she was the first person I thought of listening to, it was a really nice day. This is gonna sound a bit random, but I took a few breaks from writing to take in everything and admire the scenery around me while I was at the park and I would say one of my favorite moments would have to be watching dragonflies fly about, I don’t know, it was just great to watch because they just fly around without a care in the world.

Being there for 3 hours, was actually quite nice, I didn’t expect to be there for as long as I was, I mean I did bring my journal to do a little bit of writing, but I didn’t realize I was writing so much in my thought journal. When I realized it was 12pm, I stopped writing, even though I wasn’t quite finished with what I was writing, I figured though I was there since about 10am so I felt it was time to get back home, another reason was because it was going to rain and I didn’t want to be there when it started, however it didn’t work, because after I left the park I went to Dunkin Donuts to grab a coffee and a donut as well because I wanted it. There wasn’t really anyone in the Dunkin Donuts when I went not until I was leaving anyway.

When I left and started heading back home that’s when it started to rain so even though I left the park early, I still ended up getting caught in the rain which I didn’t really mind anyway because I love the rain, however it was starting to come down pretty hard, not too hard, but enough to get soaked in, so my plan to get home before the rain came down, yeaaah it didn’t really go through……but I enjoyed it. It was getting a little windy though, but it was still pretty okay even though I was soaked. For some reason I get happy when it rains, i’m not quite sure why, but there’s just something about the rain that makes me very happy inside, after having a pretty alright day yesterday, I came back home and just did my best to stay warm considering it was very cold and all.

That was pretty much my day yesterday, I only wanted to share this with you all because I actually enjoyed myself and it was quite nice to just be in the park for that long with just me, I don’t normally do that so it was different, but yeah that was my day yesterday, it wasn’t anything big, I just really enjoyed the day, anyway I hope that you all have a goodnight/morning and or evening.

All The Love ❤ ❤

The Sound Of Silence…..

On September 12, 2018September 12, 2018 By Daydreamer LexIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

Hey everyone I hope you’re doing well this afternoon, today’s blog post topic is gonna be a little different, it’s not really based off anything in particular…….today’s post as you can tell from the title of it, is all about the sound of silence. Sounds fun and interesting right ha, probably not, but yeah i’m not quite sure what I want to talk about today, so I just thought i’d come up with something random, plus i’ve found myself listening to the natural sounds around me and oddly enjoying it I guess you can say.

It’s probably really weird, I guess the more you speak on it, it does sound quite weird. I just hope that it’s not super boring to you guys, umm but yeah…….have you ever just sat back and listened to the natural sounds around you!? it’s quite interesting because when you’re just still and everything around you isn’t making much noise you actually hear more, I know that probably sounds very confusing and will probably have you go “what” (you can’t tell, but I just laughed at myself because saying “what” is reminding of a wrestler, hey you might actually know this wrestler for those who use to watch it back then Stone Cold Steve Austin, yeah he use to say that and for some reason it’s really funny because it’s a little bit random but then again it’s not at the same time)

Anyway back to what I was originally talking about, the sound of silence, it’s quite interesting actually because you wouldn’t really think that silence has a sound to it considering it’s called silence for a reason am I right!? However it actually does, now would I be able to tell you exactly what that sound is!? No because how would you even describe silence and is it even possible to describe it!? Not quite, but if you had to describe it, how would you!? See to me silence has a very calm and mellow feel to it especially when it’s very cloudy out after it just rained, I say that because that’s exactly how it is right now where i’m at. Now maybe you’re thinking you’re just talking rubbish right now, how does silence even have a sound!?

Well like I said before, yeah it’s called silence so how is that possible and my answer to you would be…..it is, but it’s only when everything around you is quiet that you hear it, for example a minute ago it was silent outside my window, but now a car is leaving a driveway so it’s not anymore at least for the moment that is, now when that car leaves, it will become quiet again and when that happens, the silence will then return.

I’ll give you a few things that happened within the silence for it to become un silent (probably not a word, maybe it is, but either way i’m gonna use it)

A car left a driveway
My phone went off telling me I had a notification of some sort
Crickets were chirping outside of my window
A dog barked

Now those were just a few things that happened within the silence to make it where it wasn’t silent anymore, now it probably was very boring to read I know, but I just wanted to give you a few examples, another thing i’ll add is me talking while I write, I always do that though, because it helps me think better and my thoughts tend to come out the way I want them to (most of the time that is) Even when it’s silent though, you still are able to hear some kind of sound, it can be a small sound or a very large one to where it may startle you a bit, but we know that after those sounds have passed, the silence will return……….Have you noticed that whenever you sort through your thoughts and feelings, that your mind too because more calm and silent!?

As some of you may know, I have this thing where most of the time my mind likes to bring a lot of information to me, causing me to overthink things that in all reality don’t really need to be over thought (I hope I made sense there) lately though it’s been quite nice to me and hasn’t gotten out of hand, which i’m happy about because I found that overthinking things just makes everything else a mess, so to have it where I feel not super overwhelmed with a wave of constant overthinking, it feels nice, very nice actually. You tend to realize when you’re mind becomes still and calm that everything around you also becomes still and calm, okay maybe not everything, but i’d say a good amount does and so when you feel that calmness and you feel that……In all honestly I don’t even know what else to put here, uhhhh but when you feel the stillness (well I guess that would be it) when you feel the stillness of certain things around you, it sorta gives you a sense of peace and understanding, I don’t know if that makes sense but yeah.

The sound of silence, actually has a sound to it…….you just kinda have to really listen to hear it as well as feel it, because believe it or not you can feel it, I can’t explain it exactly but you do feel it, if I had to describe it, i’d say it’s confusing, weird, but also oddly nice let’s just say it’s one of things you can’t really describe you just have to be with it, in order to get it……..yeah……..so that’s my thought for today nothing too exciting nor super long, just simple and a good amount if I had to put it a certain way.

How would you describe the sound of silence if you had to describe it!? Have you ever experienced the same thing and if so how does/did it make you feel!? I hope you all are having a lovely day and I hope you all have a goodnight/morning and or evening 🙂

All The Love ❤ ❤

Why Is Simple Complicated!?

On September 10, 2018 By Daydreamer LexIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

We’ve all been there before, we come across a pathway or just something that should be simple and easy, yet we tend to make what should be easy to us 1000 times harder. Why is that!? why is it that we feel that simple just isn’t enough!? why do we feel the need to over complicate things!? These are the questions that we should ask ourselves a little more often. We as humans always feel as though keeping things simple and just simple in general is really hard to keep up with and the thing is……it’s actually not, we just think that it is, because we always feel the need to rationalize everything that we do, say or feel and that’s something we shouldn’t have to do, we get so caught up trying to figure everything out that we forget that we don’t really have to have everything figured out.

Sure there we’ll be things that we have to really sit down, take in and think about, but not everything has to be in that same format, it’s okay to just not over analyze everything, I mean think about it!? When was the last time you dealt with something to where you probably thought “Oh gosh this is gonna stress me out isn’t it!?” but once you came face to face with it, you then realized that it wasn’t as bad as you thought it was gonna be. Think of it this way: You have a workspace right!? you do what you do and let’s be honest here, we’ve all ended up turning our workspace into our personal, “let me just place this thing right here and i’ll get back to it later” place.

Come the next day we then add something new to that workspace and the process then continues, until we have to use that workspace again and then come to the realization that we can’t, because it is filled with a whole lot of unnecessary things. Here we are now stuck having to clear and put back everything that in all honestly could’ve been avoided if we just put them back in their original place the first time. You see where i’m going with this!? The whole workspace scenario could’ve been so simple, had we not continuously added stuff to our workspace, then we would’ve been able to use it when we needed to use it. We have the choice to make things simple for ourselves, but for some unknown reason we don’t, we just feel complicated it the best thing for us when in all reality it just leaves us stressed out, tired and just not wanting to deal with anything.

If we just learn to work on making things a whole lot more easier for ourselves and a whole lot more simple as well, we would find that we end up feeling a whole lot better and less stressed out all the time. I mean why would you want to be stressed all the time!? I know that stress is something that’s gonna happen at times, but if it’s happening all the time that’s when you should really stop and think about everything you’re doing.

When things start to get just a little too complicated, really ask yourself “is it really complicated or am I just making it really complicated!?” If you find yourself having to really think about it, then it might just be you over complicating it. It’s nothing you can’t fix though, you can always make things simple for yourself, all you gotta do is just really look at everything and decide is this really worth stressing over!? If you find that it’s not then just let it go and move on, however if it’s still bothering you a bit, you can always write it down, come back to it later and when you do come back to it, look it over and see if it still has an effect on you, if it does try looking into why that is and see if you can break it down to where it becomes easier to work through.

Every complicated issue that we have, most of those issues aren’t as complicated as we make it seem, for some it might be, because everyones different, but that doesn’t mean you can’t work through them and make those issues or whatever it is that is making you stress, a little less stress and what’s complicated, simple. Try to make things less stressful for yourself by making everything you do a little more simpler, it might just work and change your life for the better. Everything can be really simple if we just let it.

Anyway that’s all I have for now, i’m gonna sign off a different way today if you don’t mind and say that I hope you all are enjoying your day and are having a good one, with that I hope you all have a goodnight/morning and or evening 🙂
