Always connect soulfully ♥ Find your inner peace

        [Currently listening: cherry wine by Hozier, terrible love by The National, breathe you in by Dierks Bentley] Dear Future Husband, On nights like tonight, the moon is full and bright while the stars shoot across the sky, and it's times like these that you are on my mind. There is that feeling in my soul that gives me butterflies on calm, warm summer nights...listening to the crickets chirp and the frogs croak; I wonder where you are. Although I am missing you on nights like this, I feel connected to you. I close my eyes, feel the breeze carry wisps of hair across my face, wishing that soft caress was your fingertips instead. While we live our two parallel lives, I know that you may be out in the world thinking these same thoughts, looking at the same full moon, wondering where I am too.  Our souls are connected, pulling at our heartstrings while guiding us slowly towards one another. There is a comfort knowing that you are out the...

[Currently listening: Hurt Somebody by Dierks Bentley //  Swan Song by A Fine Frenzy // Flyin' by Emerson Hart]                      I want to talk about a subject today that is being seen more and more commonly. It's happened to my friends, and it's happened to me more than once. It happened to me again and crushed me; absolutely. I'm not sure why this one was different..but we are talking about "ghosting". If you don't know the definition of this term, I don't blame you because it is relatively new for this generation. I think Urban Dictionary describes it best as:  "The act of suddenly ceasing all communication with someone the subject is dating,  but no longer wishes to date. This is done in hopes that the ghostee will just  "get the hint"  and leave the subject alone, as opposed to the subject simply telling them  he/she is no longer interested.  Ghosting is not specif...

Currently listening: [unlove you by jennifer nettles; when we were young by adele] Sometimes, I think that this might all be too much. What are we actually waiting for? Time? Love? Money? What actually makes you happy? Is happiness what we are all truly looking for?               "You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of.                    You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life." -Albert Camus I don't believe truer words to have ever been spoken. The reason for this post today..I received an email regarding happiness in life. In part, this email asked, "How are you so happy/how do you live such a full life?" I love questions like this because they are all perspective, honestly. I will not say that I do not live a full life, but what makes me happy? I will say that I am not happy ALL of the time. There are days that ...

So I've received quite a few emails regarding my blog; readers asking relationship questions. I will do my best to answer all questions, starting with this post! [Currently listening: Stay with me by Sam Smith & Always Remember Me by Ry Cuming featuring Sara Bareilles] Dear Jessica,  I recently broke up with my boyfriend after 5 years. I have to say that it wasn't a bad relationship at all, but it just wasn't right for me. Of course, it was a messy breakup. It's now been a little over a year since we broke up and we do not speak at all. I still think of him from time to time and just wonder how he is doing. My question to you is: should I try and reach out to him after such a messy break-up, or should I just move on? Dear Reader, First of all, I want to thank you for reading my blog and reaching out to me! Now let's start answering your question. I do have to say, 5 years is a long time. It's not just a few months or a year, it's a big part ...

[Currently listening: Smother by Daughter, Tiger Striped Sky by Roo Panes, You There by Aquilo & Brooklyn Baby by Barfalk ]      I don't know about you, but I like to take my relationships slow. Go on a few dates, really get to know that person, maybe end up in a relationship, maybe end up as friends, but now days everything is so fast. This generation is used to Tinder, Facebook, Hot or Not, all social media sites that give you a fast hook up, and then its over. And we wonder why the relationship doesn't last, or wonder why we are single. I don't know about you, but I'm blaming social media.    When was the last time you started dating someone, and they actually picked up the phone AND CALLED YOU. They didn't send the impersonal text, "Hey, How R u?". Call me old fashioned, but I think we rely way too much on texting, facebook messenger, and tindering to communicate with others. I understand using a text as a way of communicating when the p...

            So this is my first post, and I want to sum up what I want my blog to accomplish. I want to search for the answers to questions I have been asking for forever. I know that many people have some of the same questions, and I'm here to think out loud with my input. In doing this, I want to tie in music by including which songs or quotes I relate to that certain post. I would like more than anything to help those who are struggling with relationship questions and how to manage life. So let's start: [Currently listening: "XO" by John Mayer, "Flowers in Your Hair" by The Lumineers, "Poison & Wine" by The Civil Wars, and "Edge of Desire" by John Mayer]          We have so many questions to answer in this life. What should I wear, what to eat, what college should I go to, what am I going to do for a career? These questions are always changed, and some will go unanswered. The question I've been battling rece...
