"Everyday you wake up, you should know your life is worth living and loving. Perfection is based on a person's perspective. What may be perfect to me, may be imperfect to someone else. Instead of beating yourself up for falling back a little or crashing, applaud yourself for surviving. As long as every day is lived as though it's worth living and you are worth loving, life will be and feel so fulfilling." --PrettyChiq    It is necessary to realize, life is not meant to be perfect. Who said you're suppose to go through perfect times each and every day? It is through adversity and tough times can one truly recognize and cherish the hard times. Sometimes it is through the very bad and rough times, can we truly appreciate and love the good. One have to know the bad in order to know what good truly is. I was talking to a friend of mine, and she told me she was tired of suffering and struggling. I listened as she spoke and agreed. She was going through s

So I'm one to usually write positive and encouraging things, but this post is necessary. Some people are quick to say:    But really?  Life's rather funny. As one gets older, one is liable to come across different type or sorts of people from varying cultures. What remains consistent however within all cultures and races, is the ability for people to be completely self-centered, brackish and downright nasty. There is  nothing more discouraging and disheartening that being surrounded by such people. I am saying this to warn you, and so that you can protect yourself from now or to avoid such people--so when they try to hurt you, it wouldn't have such a big impact on you. THESE ARE THE TYPE OF PEOPLE I URGE YOU NOT TO BE LIKE: The Never-Me-It'-You Sorta Person: I have been unfortunately blessed with being surrounded by many people like this. These are people that cannot see the difference between being rude and being honest, who cannot tell the differ

"There comes a point in every one's life, wherein a person becomes tired of something. It is at this point when people choose to hold on that it is imperative to say--ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!" --PrettyChiq       This have been an incredibly difficult week for absolutely no reason. There have not been a day wherein I did not feel some form of doom or depression weighing hard on me. Some may say it's hormones, others may say it's lack of motivation--it does not matter. I learned something this week however, when to say--ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. These are limits to everything. Step back, getting away or removing yourself from something is not a bad thing. Some people may say it's a sign of weakness, but many know it's a sign of stress of remove yourself from what you are most comfortable with.      As people, we become happy and comfortable in our cycles, making change incredibly difficult to understand or accept. We want things to be as comfortable

"Sometimes people have reasons why they don't have time for you. It's not you, it's them. People are busy trying to make themselves legendary. Everyone wants to be acknowledged and accepted." --PrettyChiq   Throughout a person's quest to find him or herself, that person seeks to make him or herself legendary. This is a concept that is extremely difficult to understand and grasp, so after speaking to my besties, I finally got some answers. Now this is strictly my opinion so here it goes:  As we mature, we seek to find a place in society, amongst the people we most cherish and admire. The pressure becomes more intensified as our friends and peers begin to get married, have children, and the twenties seems to have an inevitable end to it. We are told... But we tend to realize, we are judged oftentimes by the material possessions and accomplishments we have acquired. Soon we look to ourselves, our peers, and others and compare our accomplishments. T

"Everyone wants the perks of a relationship, no one wants to make the sacrifice. We're living in days when Cinderalla no longer have her appeal as Divorce Court seems a must and 'hoes' are no longer garden tools used to clean the garden. Truth remains, we're in the days when polygamy is norm and monogamy seems to be abnormal. So is it ever worth fighting for?" --PrettyChiq       "There is no such thing as the perfect man or woman. No one is perfect but God. When you're seeking perfectiong seek him. People will each and every time disappoint you. You disappoint yourself at times, what make others so different?" --PrettyChiq   I have watched many great relationships form and even greater ones end. I watched friends with great relationships complain about their significant others, as ones with none complain about what the do not have. This is not directed to any of my friends, but is genuinely based on my experience and what I have genuinely obser

"Throughout your life, you'll meet many people. Many of these people are able to convince you to do and say things that you many times do not want to. I say to say no and to stick to it. Sometimes it's OK to be completely selfish." --PrettyChiq      People are naturally selfish, wanting and needing things they way they are. Some, more than others, are more selfish and self-absorbed that others. Throughout my short life, I've been confronted with the various different persons who have been completely and utterly self-absorbed, and the truth remains, not all these persons are unhappy being assholes or selfish. Most self-absorbed persons I know are completely and utterly fulfilled and happy. It's all in the perspective.     So let's just start off by listing the top 5 different types of persons I've come across...   Person #1 (The One Who Is Grandiose): I know  someone who refused to give anything, but love to get everything. As

"Be sure of yourself. Know that no matter what anyone say, you are unique, and one of a kind. In life you will meet many people but are constantly only with yourself, own that self! Love, cherish and believe in yourself and others will also!" --PrettyChiq     NEVER FORGET THAT....     AND TO.....     It is very simple to look at others and make a deductive reasoning about that person based on what that person looks like or what they present to the world. People are different and can be viewed differently based on the way they treat others and one's perception. This blog today was influenced by different people with all one common problem--a poor sense of self. "You are what you think, eat and hope to be. It is as simple as willing it, placing yourself in situations to have the pieces of the puzzle come together." --PrettyChiq      I know many beautiful women, incredibly successful, with inspiring stories--women whose
