you.

Publié par Gaelle.R

" Loving you makes me feel so free, that I can step out of the house with my hair undone with the brightest smile on my face knowing that I have you while feeling like the luckiest girl in the world.

When the sun rises, I only wish to see your beautiful face and to hear your heart beating right next to mine.

I don't know what the future holds but I know that I'll love you forever because a world without you in it will simply be impossible for me to survive.

If you were to tell me that we can't stay together, I'll be broken but I'll make it easy for you because I know that's what you want but I'll always love you."

movie review.

Publié par Gaelle.R

Little women.

This movie is the one that came out in 2019 which is a coming-of-age movie and yes I did watch it because my one and only crush Timothee chalamet  is in there. I actually bought the movie because I love it so much. If you loved reading or watching pride and prejudice then please go watch it, but you have to either rent it out or buy it because it is a very hard-to-find treasure.

The story plays out with the main character Jo who is a strong-minded, so brave, stubborn, and inspiring young lady who was so beautiful inside and out. She was a very talented writer who sells her story anonymously for $20 just so she could help out her family. She had three sisters: Amy, Beth, and Meg; they were all beautiful and full of life. Meg was the oldest, Amy the middle child, and Beth the youngest. One day Laurie shows up played by the handsome Timothee chalamet and he was interested in Jo a whole lot. They used to play, dance, and fight all the time; they were like best friends who actually looked like a couple. But Jo always dreamed of being free and following her dream as a writer, she had no plans of marrying anyone but Laurie was falling helplessly each time they spend time together. The whole family witness their friendship and anyone would think that one day they were going to eventually marry each other.

Beth the youngest loved to play piano and one day Laurie's uncle gifted Beth a very nice piano but her sisters had to get her out of the house so that they could bring the piano inside. While she was out she visited the neighbors and one of the children was sick with Scarlet fever and she caught it. She became very ill and with the family not having enough means to take care of her they couldn't bring her overseas to get treated so her fate was doomed. The family decided that she would stay at home and they would take care of her so she could recover. 

Meg the oldest was sent out in the world as they would do for all the young ladies when it was time for them to find a husband. She did not find anyone suitable to her taste but little did she know that the love of her life was right next door if only she had given him a chance. Eventually, she came back home and the man next door proved to be an angel and a man suited to conquer her heart. she fell for him and they would marry right away, so she married for love.

Jo didn't want to get married as she always say she never find the idea of marriage to be appealing to her, she would feel trapped. After Meg's wedding, Laurie decided to confess his undying love for Jo but she turned him down and Laurie was so devastated that he wanted to die. He said, "  I only love you Jo I can never love anyone else" (that made me cry) but Jo was right to turn him down because she did not feel the same and she didn't want to lie to him. She wanted Laurie to be happy and she knew that the marriage wouldn't have been the right thing for them. Laurie left and went back to Europe, leaving Jo sad but determined to chase her dream. 

Amy loved to draw so she went to France with her aunt to find a suitable mate to marry because she wanted to marry for money and she had already had someone in mind Named Fred. While she was there she ran into Laurie and she was so excited to see him, he was also happy to see her. They would spend some time together and she would draw him, but one day he asked her not to marry Fred with the intent that she should marry him instead. She felt taken aback by his request but she also felt disgusted because that would mean that she was second best next to Jo and that he only ask her that because he couldn't get the girl of his dreams. she was mad at him for treating her this way because she always loved him despite that he used to love Jo but she could not say yes to Fred either when he had asked her to marry him because she loves Laurie too much. Sadly, Beth passed away while Amy was in France and she had to go back home to her family. On her way back Laurie came and she told him that she said no to Fred but she told him that she did not expect him to marry her; he looked at her and kissed her with so much intensity that it was undeniably obvious that he was quite smitten with her! they were so excited that they got married on their way back. So she married for love and wealth because Laurie was also rich.

Jo was devastated to see her sister Beth go, she began to wonder if she had made the wrong choice with turning Laurie down because she felt so lonely and empty. But when her mother asked her if she loved him, she could not respond because she would only marry him because she just wants to be loved but her mother reminded her that "loving someone is not the same thing as being loved" but she felt too lonely to care. she wrote him a later to tell him how much she miss him and how she regretted not marrying him, she put the letter in the little box they used to share letters when they were younger at their tree house because she knew that Laurie was coming back. But when he came he told her that he married her sister Amy and that they couldn't wait; she was shocked and a little sad but she wanted to be happy for her sister because she had already lost one. She went back and take her letter back because Laurie was already married. so she throws herself in her writing and she finally wrote a beautiful novel called "little women" and she had it published...

It was a beautiful movie and perhaps my favorite one, you should watch it although I told you what happened if you watch the movie you will love it even more. There are some scenes I just simply could not describe because you would have to see it for yourself ! so please check it out :)

perfectionism

Publié par Gaelle.R

Perfectionism as Google defines it as " the need to be or appear to be perfect or even to believe that it's possible to achieve perfection" and it even goes further explaining it as a " refusal  to accept any standard short of perfection"

I am sad to say that I am a perfectionist, but I used to take pride in that. It took me 25 years to realize that being perfect has its flaws and although it may sound great to have a perfect life, the perfect job, or the perfect relationship; I am sorry to burst anyone's bubble but all of that is a lie. Nothing is or was ever perfect, I am human and despite the fact that I still think that I could achieve anything close to being perfect is actually sad. Although I will always give my all in anything that I do but I need to accept that I am a human with flaws and  I can never make everyone happy.

Perhaps some of you have felt the same way but I am tired of trying to look perfect all the time when I know that I could never be. It is so bad that some days I won't eat, sleep or even drink water until I am done with a task. I can't relax until the house looks the way I want it to look or I don't feel good if the laundry is not done on that particular day. Some would say that those things are great habits to have but I know that the way that I want to get it done is not normal.

Looking perfect all the time or trying to sound perfect all the time is exhausting and sometimes people really have no idea who you are. I am never hiding in my writing because that is the only thing I vowed to be authentic all the way about besides doing my best to please God. I am growing up and some of the things I wanted in the past aren't necessarily what I want today. I now see the glass half full and I will do my best to get further away from perfection because that is simply attainable. 

Last year, I've learned so many life lessons! about friendships, romantic pursuits, work, people, family, change, sadness, happiness, being alone, and most importantly starting over.

Gosh, where did the years go? when I started this blog at 16 years old! I am so glad I did because I love watching myself grow over the years.

Thank you all :)

Let's change it.

Publié par Gaelle.R

Do you ever find yourself complaining about the same thing over and over again? well if that makes you feel better we have all complained, even the most positive person you can think of does it, it is a part of human life and I don't think anyone can take it go away completely. But we can try to change the things we complain a lot about because at some point it will annoy everyone around you and it will even change the way you act as well.

If you find yourself feeling bad about not having enough friends and you're complaining about it like I was last year well you can do 2 things! 

1. be sad about it and not let yourself make new friends.

or

2. you can go out there and try your best to meet amazing people because as long as you're open to it you will meet fun people.

I am not talking about making friends only because I am not quite an expert at that either but with anything in life that you may be dwelling on right now try to change it before it becomes the only thing you talk about. Life is too precious to let a simple problem become the highlight of your everyday life. If there are some negative people around you stay away from you, if there's a group of people that aren't a good influence on you and you caught on to it on time then take your distance. Well, I know that it is easier said than done, and coming from someone like me you might think that it is easy for me to say...but it's not. we are all humans therefore we have a lot of feelings and bottled-up emotions that may come up to the surface long after something traumatic or bad happens; give yourself some time to process everything and don't be too hard on yourself.

How to emotionally detach.

Publié par Gaelle.R

" Too much or too little of anything is not good, we all need balance."

In life, you cannot always afford to rely on others for your well-being and happiness because that is your responsibility. If you find yourself getting too emotionally involved in a relationship or in a friendship then hear me out.  The fact that you have friends or a relationship is great but always remember 2 things:

  1. you cannot pour from an empty cup.
  2. your partner is only there to compliment you not to change your life.

what I mean by you cannot pour from an empty cup is that you can't give the best of yourself if you don't have anything good to give and it is fine for you to take a step back before you start sabotaging yourself. You cannot rely on your partner to give you the life you've always dreamed of because that is your job. The purpose of a partner is to support, bring some form of stability, honesty, loyalty, and love.  Let me give you a few signs of what emotionally involved looks like.

1. being clingy and not understanding that your partner also has a life or feeling entitled to that person's time.

2. Getting easily offended and causing arguments over small things that could've been solved with just a little communication.

3. assuming the worse from your partner because you're overthinking.

4. calling them every hour of the day and not giving them time to breathe.

5. being afraid of losing them or cannot imagine your life without them _ talking about dying if they were to break up or leave you.

6. Being controlling and wanting to know everything that they are doing, you are suffocating them if you do that, let them live life and still grow on their own.

Those signs are nothing to be afraid of, I have been there and I am sure a lot of us have been too emotionally involved before. But how can you avoid feeling like that?

Being emotionally detached doesn't mean that you don't love your partner and it's always good to create boundaries because it will be very beneficial for the relationship to work.

  • When making decisions try to always remain rational don't go off emotions because your emotions can blind you from the obvious.
  • See your partner for who they are, do not put them on a pedestal, and never create scenarios in your head when you first meet someone or just got in a relationship with them because chances are you might end up being disappointed. 
  • never assume anything good or bad without consulting your partner. For example, never assume that your partner will always be fine with everything you bring to the table because they might not so it's best to talk it over before you decide for them.
  • Have other friends and have your own hobbies; never put too much pressure on your partner because they also have their own personal problems as well.
  • Never rely on anyone to make you happy or to make you in a better mood. If you find yourself seeking them for happiness please take a step back and try to find something on your own that can make you feel better, try drawing, try taking a walk, pray, talk to your parents. Yes, they can make you happy and by the way, your partner can lighten up your mood if you're sad but don't always rely on them to make you happy because it will feel like you are using them.
  • always assume that one-day things might change and always prepare yourself for the worse just in case it happens because it might and what will you do then? but if you always keep in the back of your mind that this might not go as plan it will not hurt as much. But still, give it your best...
  • never treat a simple relationship like it's a marriage. When you are dating, you are seeking a potential mate to be your husband or wife but never give them the title until you actually marry them. Because in case it doesn't work out you won't be too disappointed and they won't be too disappointed or broken because you gave them false promises and too much hope. Treat the relationship for what it is while you still give it your best...
  • If you're a girl never show him you love him too much, because God created man to love his wife and for the wife to respect her husband so always keep that in mind.
  • never rely on your partner for financial support, always work to earn for yourself, and always remain independent.
  • never cry in front of a man if he's breaking up with you even if it hurts because that is a sign of weakness and at that point, you are very emotionally involved. Walk away with your head held high and cry later...
  • let your partner tell you his or her intention don't assume that she or he will drop everything for you, listen to the words they say when they talk and watch their actions as well don't just believe they will give you everything your heart desire.

Just do it!

Publié par Gaelle.R

As Nike put it " just do it" and I couldn't agree more, now that I've taken some time to analyze all the things I did wrong in 2021, I came to the realization that I messed it all up when I talked about everything I wanted to do instead of doing them. I mean that is what January is all about because it is the longest month of the year, so it's only fair that I take some time to ponder over the things I did wrong so I can become a better person. As my personality trait allows me to dig in the past to learn the lesson from all the mistakes that I've made. On that note, I encourage all of you to take the Myer Briggs personality test to find out more about yourself. I don't know if it's because I love psychology and I find it to be so fascinating but I honestly think the personality test is the best thing to ever exist needless to say I am in fact an introvert. Alright that's enough about me I am starting to sound conceited, let's get into the topic...

"Just do it " is our motto of the year for both you & me, and I mean it literally if there is something you want or have been dying to do stop talking about it for the 100th time we're just going to do it. I promise not to talk about how much I want to go to Paris anymore unless I am booking a flight to go or unless I am already there and I want to share the experience while it is still fresh. 

Let me give you a few graphic examples...

Instead of telling people about traveling and wanting to explore the world just do it, only talk about it if you're on your way to the airport or already there. By doing this, it will not only make you happier but it will also improve your self-esteem because it will make you feel like you are accomplishing your goals instead of sitting around and talking about them.

Instead of telling people, you want to read more and that you need to find the time to read, just pick up a book and start reading. That will improve your mental health as reading is a great exercise for the brain but it will also improve your vocabulary. I am no longer talking about how I miss being a bookworm I am just going to pick up a book and start reading, If I talk about reading it's to only do a book review.

Instead of talking about working out just start a membership at the gym or just get a day pass at the gym to see if you enjoy it and quite frankly when you first start working out at the gym you never fully get comfortable at first it's only after a couple of weeks you finally feel a lot more comfortable to try more rigorous exercises. If you don't like the gym instead of talking about it just buy equipment to work out at home. You will get better results if you just do it!

there are far more examples I can take, like for instance if you see a girl you like just go and talk to her, don't think about how much you like her because that won't solve anything and for more you know she could also like you as well but you'll never know unless you start talking to her and eventually tell her how you feel... I mean take your time (that's another topic, I got you)

Anyways I have wasted so many great opportunities in 2021 that this year I just want to do all the things that I was so afraid to do, if you want to do the same thing kudos to you I admire that!
