It is the "New Year", so naturally people are starting their resolutions, which almost every time just diminish into something they remember they once were going to do. I, however, am very motivated this year (as I am every year). Things to do this new year (in no particular order):
- Read more books - starting with "Gone Girl", and moving a long to "El Cielo Es Real" (just to broaden my language abilities).
- Exercise - just like any normal human that gained weight during December, curse that bloody delicious month....
- Juice - my family is starting this healthy thing, maybe it has something two do with my dad's heart bypass, well anyways juicing has become something regular to "detox" our bodies. So now I plan to make it a habit.
- Not call my EX boyfriend- easy to say harder to do... If only I was as strong under the influence as I am sober....
- Save money $$$- dollar burgers and midnight whataburgers are not worth it. Especially when you are planning traveling endeavors.
- Travel - visit your old friends that you have not seen in years. (London, Chicago, Cancun). This will only happen if I follow through with number 4....
- Blog- Something I always wanted to do but could never start. Hey, it's a new year there cannot be a better day to start something you always wanted to do, right? (Was unable to start yesterday due to my recovery state I mean it was the new year so thats a good excuse..)
In light of recent events, my breakup, I decide to do what every normal girl would do and drown myself in Netflix and food. I was not only able to gain a couple of pounds, but I also gained a lot of knowledge from these amazing movies. I am a romantic, and I am not proud. People are always telling me how my expectation of love and marriage is way to high. Coming from a family that is so perfect, according to everyone in this town, it is hard to think anything less of love and marriage than it being eternal happiness. Anyways, these movies I have watched like The Vow, The Notebook, just to name of few, confirmed my belief that love is this extraordinary, over the top, flabbergasting kind of thing... or maybe not. In reality, true love is really hard to find. However, I refuse to settle with anything else. Dear God what to do. With all these celebrities divorcing and remarrying, they are making it ok to do the same. I recently asked my grandfather if he believed in divorce, he answered "honey if you are already thinking of divorce do not bother getting married"... When I initially heard his response I literally rolled my eyes, but as I thought about what he said it made sense. I cannot be in a relationship with someone when I am thinking of the end. As I scrolled through my netflix to figure out what movie to watch next I clicked on Force of Nature starring Ben Affleck and Sandra Bullock. I thought it would be like any other romantic comedy, but it had way more depth and meaning than I thought it had. Spoiler alert if you have not seen the movie. For instance, Ben Affleck was about to get married and he falls in love with Sandra Bullock even though he did not want to. Love as in give up years of a relationship on this girl he met 2 days. However in the end he does the right thing and marries his fiancé. This is what the world is missing, respect in relationships. I mean he was in love with his fiancé enough to marry her and meeting this girl he is willing to give that all up. Ok many people would say well it is love if he was willing to give it all up for this girl he met 2 days ago. But did he really know her like he knew his fiancé. I mean he knew this girl for 2 DAYS! This can be used in both sides of an argument, but I would win with this. He knew his fiancé enough to marry her, which means he knew her long enough, while he knew this girl for 2 days what if he did not like the girl anymore on the 3rd day... I think that is the probably people (me) are just jumping into relationship thinking that is what real love is, when in reality true love is accepting the person at their best and at their worst.
That is my true resolution, to give love a break.
Till next time, Happy New Yr! xo,
