Forest Blakk, did you just describe me?

-

I have this habit of playing music while I work. Then, a Forest Blakk song called "If You Love Her" started playing in the background.

I've heard this song more times than I can count. It's even on my Spotify playlist. But every single time I hear it, it tugs at my heartstrings. Right to the core. It's as if Forest Blakk wrote it about me, and every time it comes on, I swear I could just cry. Kidding.

The song goes like this:

"She always has trouble falling asleepAnd she likes to cuddle while under the sheetsShe loves Pop songs and dancing, and bad trash TVThere's still a few other things"

Oh, that is so me. Trouble falling asleep? Check. Cuddling? Maybe. Pop songs? Absolutely. Dancing? Only when no one's watching. And bad trash TV? Guilty. I'll watch it all, no matter how ridiculous or predictable the plot gets.

"She loves love notes and babiesAnd likes giving giftsHas a hard time acceptingA good complimentShe loves her whole familyAnd all of her friendsSo if you're the one she lets in"

I LOOOOOOOOVE LOVE NOTES. So much. I'll fill your life with sticky notes, letters, little scribbles.

Babies? Sure. Not mine, though. Just let me borrow your infant. Hahaha!

If anybody knows me here, gift-giving is the Shanice Guarin love language. Compliments? Fine. Just keep them genuine. Of course, I love my family and my friends. I'd die for them.

So if you're the one I let in? Well... that's a different story.

"Kiss her with passion as much as you canRun your hands through her hair whenever she's sadAnd when she doesn't notice how pretty she isTell her over and over so she never forgets"

Okay, let's calm down with this part.

Could be true. Could be not. I'm not telling.

But do remind me I'm pretty every now and then, so I don't forget. Haha!

"She's the best thing that you'll ever haveShe'll love you if you love her like that"

Wait, Forest, I may not be the best thing they'll ever have but yes... I'd probably love someone if they loved me like that.

Dear Lord, the hopeless romantic in me just refuses to go away. May the power of Forest Blakk soften this cruel and selfish world.

A genuine, honest, and unconditional kind of love for everyone. Please.

Okay, back to work!

In the meantime, do yourself a favor and give Forest Blakk a listen:

Hardin's Letter to Tessa

-

I guess this is my favorite chapter in Anna Todd's After series. It was genuine and heartfelt. Hardin has always had this taciturn personality. But in this letter, he tried so hard to express his feelings to Tessa by baring his heart and soul. Every single word is piercing. If there is anything I have learned from this letter, it is that if you truly love someone, you will have a brave heart to embrace and admit your flaws, no matter how fucked up it is. It is because  you trust your loved ones that they will accept you for who you are, heart and soul. Because that's what love is - not superficial but deep and meaningful. After We Collided, Chapter 43 Tess,             Since I’m not good with words when trying to relate my inner life, I may have stolen some from Mr. Darcy, whom you fancy so much. I write without any intention of paining you, or humbling myself, by dwelling on wishes which, for the hap...

Blind Spot

The Blind Spot in the Johari Window reveals how others perceive us in ways we may not be aware of. I always get excited when I receive letters because they allow me to see myself through the eyes of others, sometimes in ways I’ve never imagined.  I’d like to share with you one of the most recent letters I received, which truly moved me. The way I was described was something I had never seen in myself before. Thank you, Anne, for giving me this perspective.  "My Dearest Sezzy! I may not have all the time in the world but I want to use what little I've got to let you know how special you are and how much I appreciate you.  Thank you for always being patient with me sezzy and for loving me just the same even though most of the time you have to adjust or wait for me.  You love both so fiercely and patiently without expecting anything in return and I'll always admire you for that.  You also have a way of making people feel special and that's what makes you one of a ...
