On Love & The Best Love Songs I've Ever Heard




Valentines' Day comes only once a year, and every year, it sends me into a state of pure elation.  I start feeling like I'm in absolute love with the world and want to get to know every single living person on the planet.  There's always the "Anthem Song Of The Season" that pumps me up and goes on constant repeat until March 1st hits and I can't stand it anymore so I move onto other music, and the sudden desire for things like Dove's annually released heart-shaped chocolates and heart pizzas, and of course GIANT chocolate chip cookies.  In one of the worst months of the Winter season, I always have an awkward smile on my face that doesn't really go away.....

Love is always something I've tried to have as a feature, even in the toughest times of my life thus far. While it might not always be apparent, I try to be (assuming we have no disagreements or arguments/feuds) compassionate and welcoming to all who cross my path.  I also strive to be a good listener and attempt to hear out the problems someone might be facing, following it up with as much encouragement as possible to pick up someone's spirits, because it does hurt to see someone you know hurting, and it also goes for people you've just met.



On personal love, I have my family and my friends, and that's really about it at the time of this writing.  I have a passionate love for God as well and am working to develop my spirituality.  I also am now striving for self-love, which includes some form of exercise, less fatty food (pizza, pasta, and Chinese are some of my regularly consumed meals), and a better sleep schedule (even number of hours a night across a week).  I am hoping that this will help me get healthier and be able to continue doing what I love for as long as possible, as well as starting a family, which brings me to my next point....

I have yet to have a relationship in my lifetime.  This is completely alright with me, and I know that the right is one coming and will come at the right time.  Hopefully she is absolutely amazing, whoever she is.



This Valentine's Day, if you have a Valentine, I hope you have an amazing time.  If you're like me and don't have one yet or are not planning on getting one, I hope you have a wonderful day and/or wish you the best of luck in finding one.  And trust me when I say this: Love will come :)

Now, this wouldn't be a blog post if I didn't include some form of music right?  After all, the second half of the title is "The Best Love Songs I've Ever Heard".  So let's take a listen to some of them together shall we....?  These range from sibling love, to spiritual love, to love between two people, to creepy love. Enjoy!

Here's what you do in your college public speaking class.  These videos are me when I gave the speeches.  We were asked to pick a community issue, from which I chose the EBT Program and how it needs reform, and then I later collaborated with Andrew Olfelt to give a speech on education reform here in America.  I hope you enjoy the speeches :) Speech of Introduction - Given 9/9/2016 Informative Speech - Given 10/7/2016 Team Persuasive Speech - Given 11/18/2016

A Post About Snow

Image
Snow is something many of us seem to be bi-polar about, myself included.  We love it when the first snowfall of the year graces it's way through our area, but by March we're sick of it and ready for Spring.  It coats the roads, causes car accidents, and sends people to supermarkets in droves, because everyone's worried that this will be the last time they ever make it out of their house for the next few days, which never really seems to be the case thankfully. Regardless of that though, lots of us love a good snow.  Think of the things we have to be thankful for when the snow flies.  We are now able to go (if there's enough snow), sledding, skiing, have snowball fights, and build snowmen. There are tons of things to do when that first winter storm hits, and we should enjoy it while we can.  I've been regretting not being able to take part in Winter activities these past few years due to my numerous prior commitments, but maybe this will be the year

TikTok: Why.... Just Why?

It's a day off and I'm sitting at home scrolling through the Snapchat stories of my friends and co-workers.  I'm just leaving one person's story and moving onto the next, but first I have to watch an advertisement, because Snapchat needs to make money somehow doesn't it? I look at the screen, and for some reason a teenaged dude is just chilling there in a white suit and clown makeup lip syncing to some song I've never heard of before.  The screen is split though, so you know someone else must be coming to join him, right?  Well low and behold not even five seconds later another teenager in a black suit with his hair groomed to resemble a sheep and blue/black skin steps in and starts lip syncing to another part of the song where a different person seems to sing.  The ad cuts out not long after that, and I'm back with my Snapchat stories. If you haven't guessed already, the ad is for smartphone app TikTok , which allows it's users to video rec
