Summers just around the corner

and you know what that means? More sunsets! YES! So excited for school to be over! Finals start this week and I'll be out before I know it :) So what are you planning to do with your time off? I plan on spending more time doing things I love (seeing more beautiful sunsets and hopefully catching more sunrises too) an spending my days out and about, not locked up in my room all day complaining there's nothing to do. Life's for living so why not take advantage of the fact and do something with it? Even though summer hasn't officially started yet, I think my trip to the beach last weekend kicked things off right for me :) I can only hope that the rest of my summer will be as enjoyable as that one short weekend in paradise :)Here's a few snaps of the trip, more will be up soon :)

Oh the joys of a good laugh :)

Laughter. No life should ever be without it. Laughter is one of the driving forces in my life. If I don't laugh at least once during the day, you know there's something seriously wrong. I find that one thing that makes me extremely happy (besides sunsets and sunrises of course) is making people laugh. I consider it my quest in life. I enjoy the feeling of making someone laugh until they cry as long as I find myself laughing too :) Smiles and laughter and memories to cherish, there's got to be nothing better. add these to a beautiful sunset, or in the case of this past weekend, a sunrise at the beach, and you've got yourself a recipe for pure happiness. So make some time for you and the things that make you truly happy in life. Don't live your life doing things that don't make you happy and get out there and enjoy yourself! :)
*Pictures from tonight*

Ps. sorry the link for The Only Exception got up without the post about it, still hope you enjoy it! The picture is the sunrise at the beach :)

Darling you are the only exception...

For those of you who have heard it before, The Only Exception by Paramore, is such a beautiful song. For those of you who haven't, I do highly suggest you look it up :) I would post a link but I'm on a device that won't allow that, so sorry no pictures tonight either :( Anyway, the song is about a girl who experienced love in a bad situation and promised herself that she would never put herself through the pain love can cause, however, she finds an exception. She convinced herself at an early age to not believe in love for she only experienced the pain that results from it, she never allowed herself to embrace its beauty and passion. Love is a beautiful thing, it's what God teaches us for He loves us all unconditionally and he asks in return to love Him back by loving those around us. Where would this world be without love? Think about how love is present in your own life and how you let it guide your actions and influence your choices. Is there someone you love? Could you die for that person? Think about how Jesus died for all of us. Could you ever love someone like he loves us? I think that the best part about love, being able to say that you would do anything for someone, risk it all for them, and actually meaning it. I hope that everyone can find this feeling at some point in their lives, for it's such a great feeling to have <3

Oh wow...

I apologize sincerely for my absence, I just realized how long I've been away from this lovely blog...been really busy with helping my aunt with her wedding invitations and spending time with friends! Such good times :)


So, I know it's early and the sun hasn't set yet but I just couldn't help myself. I have some great pictures to share! Hope you enjoy them! :)

Here's a little tip! Wait a while after the sun sets and you'll get some great color! I know that can get a little annoying to have to wait, but it's definitely worth it! :)

Here I am again...

Sorry about the wait, been having quite a busy week! Got some really nice sunsets over the past few days, however, I will save those for a rainy day. Tonight, I will only post the ones taken today.

So, yea not much to say other than life should be lived to the fullest. No matter what you face, you should always try to make the best out of every situation your given. Life is God's greatest gift, something to be thankful for and cherished every minute of every day of your life. Life isn't something to be taken for granted, for it can be taken away in the blink of an eye.

With summer coming up, I feet that I need to spend more time doing what I love, with the people that I love. I spent way too much time last summer holed up in my room doing homework or occupied by my numerous electronic devices. This summer, my goal is to get out as much as possible and just have fun! I hope to see lots of sunsets at the beach and get some great photos. My aunt is getting married this summer and I'm hoping to go on some amazing adventure of my own. My friend is always telling me to "go have an adventure!" I never really took him seriously, just shrugged the idea off my shoulders thinking, "when will I ever have the time to do that? What would I do anyway? There's nothing to do." Well, I'm rethinking this little bit of advice, and it really seems like a good idea. Why shouldn't you go do something fun? So go have your own adventure! Quit sitting around complaining that there's nothing to do and go find something! Maybe finding something is the adventure. Sure that sounds incredibly cheezy and lame but maybe that's just what the world needs. Maybe we all need to get out of our crazy stressful lives and just have some time for ourselves and the ones that we love. Set a goal this summer to just live it up and enjoy yourself. There's nothing more important that your own happiness and fulfillment <3

Surprise Surprise!

My prayers were answered! I finally got a little sunset! Just enough for a few pictures, so I hope they bring you as much happiness as the sun brought me today :)

PS: sorry about the formatting, been trying for half an hour to get it to look nice but it doesn't like me :/

*Sigh

Where is the sun? Will it ever return? I'm anxious for a new sunset to bask in. I need the inspiration, the beauty, the warmth it brings to my heart. The forecast doesn't look promising. I hope the whole summer isn't like this. If there's one thing I look forward to the most about summer, it would have to be the sun. I lose myself in its majesty and its ceaseless beauty, its inspiration and its thought-provoking power. I feel safe, free, and pure as the sun's rays cleanse and purge me of society's negative influences. I can break free of the iron cage around my mind and release all my ideas and beliefs, my dreams and my goals, my love for nature and its beauty and spectacular unbiased influence on my well being. Here, in the presence of God, I can think about anything and everything for as long as I can. I take in the sweet night air and turn up my country music, my camera in hand, and let my mind run free like a young black stallion in the wild plains of the west. I purge myself of negative thoughts and opinions formed throughout the day and maintain the setting of tranquility and peacefulness, a place untainted by the staining black inks of drama, negativity, and harmful influences. I wash away all my insecurities and doubts in the rays of the setting sun and lift my heart up to God high up in the clouds, so full of color and hopefulness. I gain my confidence and successful mindset here and use it to reach my goals. I aspire to succeed and look to God to guide me where I need to go. For me, I find that the sunset is the most tranquil place to be, and the easiest for me to connect with Him. I guess this is because it's such an unbiased and loving place that it's the most likely place I would look to find Him. I guess this is what makes the sunset such an amazingly captivating atmosphere, I can find the majesty of God in the majesty of the pure, loving sunset. There's nothing more beautiful than the unbiased and unconditional love He shows us and I find that in the sunset: a place I can let go and lose myself in the love of God... <3
