If you haven't already noticed my blog looks a little different. I decided it was time for a change. In the past few months I feel like I have really started to discover who I really am: what my passions are, who my real friends are, and what I want this blog to be about. Yes, I am a post grad but I can't have that define me forever. Life is all about growth and change.
I want this blog to be about things I am passionate about. Those things happen to be fashion, pop culture, and longing for that life changing romance that you see on the big screen or read about in books. They say you should write what you love. My goal is to post the latest and greatest fashion finds, what celebrities or shows I am currently obsessing over, and what I wish my life was like when it comes to all things romantic. I hope that all of you will continue to visit my blog now that I'm going to start writing about what I'm passionate about. I would love to hear from anyone who is reading especially if there is some topic you would like to read about.
I'm beyond excited to begin this new chapter in blogging and in my life. My birthday is less than a week away so this is the perfect time for a change; moreover, a new beginning in both my blogging and my life. Enjoy :)

If We Were A Movie
So I really had no
idea what I would divulge in tonight, but my sister just came in and told me
about Billy Crystal being Jay Leno’s last guest on The Tonight Show before
Jimmy Fallon takes over. Hearing
the name Billy Crystal immediately caused me to begin reciting lines from one
of my favorite movies When Harry Met
Sally. Now there is a classic
Nora Ephron film. You can’t get
much better than that movie…at least from a writing stand point. It’s unbelieveable how Ephron was able
to capture the essence of 2 people so perfectly in writing. I mean the words they say are so normal
and the dialogue is so natural that it’s no wonder that I want my life to be
exactly like that movie. Come
on…who doesn’t want your best friend in the entire world to run across New York
City on New Year’s Eve to express their undying love for you and say they want
to spend the rest of your life with you.
Also while pointing out little flaws that you hate, but they love. That is sheer perfection... and
unfortunately not real life. But
it would be so cool if it was. Anyway,
I digress. The point of this
rambling is to pose this ultimate question: Why can’t our lives be like the
movies? It would make everything
so much easier. Think about
it…your life as a script. Lines
would be written for you to say as well as directions of where to go, what to
do, and who you should see. Then
you would know that somewhere in those pages you would meet someone that would
be “the one.” And a few more pages
in you would fall madly in love in some cute romantic-comedy way, get married,
have the dream job, family, and home.
Well I guess it wouldn’t be that simple. There has to be some conflict that gets resolved or some
down in order for there to be an up.
I guess that would make me in my down stage…or would this be my up? Depends on how you look at it I
suppose.
Hm…this is going to be harder than I thought. Maybe this is the point in the movie where you’re just about to get bored when something amazing happens out of the blue to suck you right back in. Then again I guess I have those moments all the time. This could be a transition point in the movie. You know that part where the lead female character is trying to find herself or recreate herself in order to find what she’s meant to do. Yeah, that’s about where I am. Still trying to figure myself out. I mean I am only 21 years old, how in the world am I supposed to know exactly who I am or who I want to be for the rest of my life? I am all about reinvention these days. Out with the old and in with the new. I can feel everything evolving: my style, my attitude, my lifestyle. It’s all finally beginning to come together. The next scene is my career. Trying to figure out what it is I exactly want to do and where I can see myself doing it. But that is a whole other word document at a whole other time.
Let me finally loop back around to what I had originally started talking about. Life as movies. I guess at times it can be great imagining what your life would be like if it was right out of a Nora Ephron film. But at the same time the whole not knowing what’s coming next is the most exciting part about life. Why would you want to know exactly what to say and when to say it? Putting your foot in your mouth or babbling on like an idiot are just a few of the things that make us humans. To err is to human right? At least I think that’s how that saying goes…it’s always a crossword puzzle clue. When you really think about it our lives are just like movies. We are the script writers, jotting down every act or scene and the people that come in and out of our lives are the ones standing by to either watch it unfold or write themselves a role.
