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: [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 ...

Currently Listening: Die a Happy Man by Thomas Rhett & Love Myself by Hailee Steinfeld          So it's been a little over a year since I've started this blog. I haven't posted nearly as much as I would have liked, but I'm glad that the posts that I have written were able to help so many of you. I am going to try and post more, and answer your questions that have been sent in. I recently got accepted into nursing school, so that will take up much of my time, but I'm always available on email if needed!          In this post, I want to touch on self-love. I've spend most of this year talking to friends about relationships, but more than that, I've been stressing the importance of getting to know yourself and gaining confidence to just BE. I recently saw a post by Adele, that summed up pretty much what I feel and what I want you all to think about:       "I’ve felt like I’ve spent my while life so fa...

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 ...

            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...
