Just the Way You Are by Bruno Mars

Bruno Mar's "Just the Way You Are" is an amazing song. The first time I heard it was when I was in Costco buying things with my brother and mom looking to buy food for the BBQ. I remember feeling so touched by the words. I felt beautiful and it's like this new air came about me, like I had no worries. I can speak for almost every woman that what Bruno Mar's sees when he envisioned these lyrics is beautiful. His understanding and love is perfectly translated into this song, and my heart flutters every time I hear it.

Actually, in Costco, when this song came on, I was really taken aback. I was like "whoa, lyrics that speak to me" and not only me but every woman who hears this song. It's not just a message, it's not indirect, it's like a lullaby that every woman wants to hear. It's not "she's amazing," it's "YOU'RE amazing... just the way YOU are." I'm pretty sure Mars is dedicating this song with someone on his heart, but by making this song public, he has given a gift to us woman, a new and revitalizing kind of confidence. In light of this, THANK YOU BRUNO MARS FOR YOUR BEAUTIFUL HEART.

There is such a strong desire to be ignorant when being with someone you so intimately trusted brought you so much pain as well, and fear and love dragged this pain out into suffering. Christianity is such a turn-off because of this. What is Christianity anyways? What does it mean to believe in God? All I know is that there's this really sweet and tender voice that whispers to my heart and I cry because even if I keep wanting to run away, I know that his story is bigger than mine, and that without it, I would crumble flat, completely.

Overcome. meaning I can't just get through once. I need to get through it all up until the very end. But, I also realize that people are so comfortable feeling safely coated in the ideas of human love, humor, and pleasure. I've been trying to put myself back into the social layer where everything that reaches the sky is like an imaginary forcefield that will keep harm away from my soul. But in doing so, I gave God whatever leftovers I had from that day, sometimes even going on for three days before searching for God's presence again. His and my parents' love have been sustaining me thus far. It feels like it will never be used up.

Inspiration, Love, Encouragement

When there's nothing to look to, you'll be inspired, you'll be encouraged. When you look, simply look, you'll find someone who loves and someone who's kind, and you'll forever appreciate them. It took me a long time to break down the barrier in my mind, but I'm here now, and I'm going to keep loving, and keep expanding this heart of mine until my job is done. There are no words for gratitude towards someone unless you love them back with all you've got, no matter what. It's senseless but it's the best of ourselves we can offer, and you'll never know how much change you can cause just by being yourself, smiling, and having fun, because everyone's got a blind side, and people coming and going and watching and looking and being inspired by what they see. I love you, I've always appreciated your enduring love and kindness and your enthusiasm and determination. You are brilliant, you are love, you attract people to you because you care, and I hope we can be abundant in love no matter what. Thank youu!! <3 Always, your enduring smile, your gratitude, is seen and appreciated and it inspires and encourages and passes on love. Thank you.

Let Your Mind Go
By Stephanie Har


I have no expectations of you,
Let your mind go,

Feel the muscles under your skin,
Let your mind flow,

Why do you keep the sun from me,
I know you're not heartless,

That worry is a beast,
You don't need a face-lift,

Meditate, don't hesitate,
What you feel inside,

I let my worries go,
I let it flow, I see my mind fly,

Don't gravitate, necessitate,
Cus' all I need is love,

But I got that, you shot whaat?

Bang! Bang!
I let the fireworks go,

You thought it was a gun,
Your mind?

Oh no,

Throw it in the air,
See if I care, I do!

Commonly, most horribly our minds go blank,
SPLAT! commonly most horribly,
That is what is best,

Let your mind free, be me,
Lose your worries to the wind,

Be free, see me,
Cus' then there is no end
