The only way to get through with hearts and wrists intact is...

I just got done listening to Ciara's newer album, The Evolution. And instead of the run-of-the-mill albums, she included something that I've never seen before. There are four intro's; The Evolution of Music, The Evolution of Dance, The Evolution of Fashion and the Evolution of C. These are just 10-20 seconds of her talking about the songs to come, what inspired her to do them, etc. And I want to include two of those intro's here.

I love that quote from Ciara. Why? Because it's true. What makes you you is not just your personality, but your style and your look. You can tell quite a bit about people by how they look or how they carry themselves. Some are confident and show it through their dress sense with out-there clothes and bold and bright colors. While others hide behind their clothes and usually wear quite bland and baggy clothing.

I think it's really cool when people stand out in their clothing. If you feel good in it, chances are you look great in it. Now a days there are so many different styles. You can rock dresses with trainers, a suit jacket with jeans, a tie with a t-shirt, a scarf as a belt. Think outside of the box and create something new, think about the possiblities of how you can wear it or what it would look good with. Plan outfits, it will make all the difference. Try lots of different things and see what you can come up with. The possiblities really are endless. Get in or fit in.

Everyone changes, everyone. There are no exceptions to this rule. Some change for the better, some for the worst. Somethings change that you wish had never changed, and some changes are welcomed with open arms. Your life is a journey. You have choices to make, you have things that should or need or want to be done. Sometimes we stumble or fall along the way, and we find people or things to help us through that. But whatever happens, you have choices to make in your life. We don't always make the right ones, but that is how you learn. You can walk away from whatever went wrong, with your head held high and look at things with a newer mind-set and just take away the experiance with you. Every single thing we do affects our future. A thought, an action or a word. What we do will affect what is to come for us. We write our own journey's, we write our own stories. But the one thing that you should remember is that whatever happens, you can recover from it and come out for the better. And everything that happens helps to shape the person you are today and the person you are to become in the future.
