Believe This.

"If you truly believe in something or someone you'll do all you can to make it work. Distance is a measurement but you can't measure emotion." -T

random, but meaningful in my life at the moment.....

What about now - Chris Daughtry


Shadows fill an empty heart
As love is fading,
From all the things that we are
But are not saying.
Can we see beyond the stars
And make it to the dawn?

Change the colors of the sky.
And open up to
The ways you made me feel alive,
The ways I loved you.
For all the things that never died,
To make it through the night,
Love will find you.

What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?
The sun is breaking in your eyes
To start a new day.
This broken heart can still survive
With a touch of your grace.
Shadows fade into the light.
I am by your side,
Where love will find you.

What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love, it never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?

Now that we're here,
Now that we've come this far,
Just hold on.
There is nothing to fear,
For I am right beside you.
For all my life,
I am yours.

What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?

What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
Baby, before it's too late,
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?

Preachin' to the Choir.

Have you ever gone a day without thanking the Big Guy for everything you have?
I mean, let's get real here: you wouldn't have it all if it wasn't for him.
So what I came to the conclusion is, through alllll of the homework, finals, finances, friend troubles, family discrepancies, and boy drama... I am too blessed to be stressed!

I went to church on Christmas morning, and it was probably one of the best days ever. Actually, what could be better than celebrating the dearest Lord & my Savior baby Jesus being born!!!??!?!

The answer to that rhetorical question: N O T H I N G .

During the sermon, I was listening in to see what the shenanigans it was all about...
and surprisingly enough, what caught my attention most was the mercy and grace that has been put upon us without us deserving it, so for that Thank You. That's the best Christmas present ever. Well, that and forgiveness.

I am pretty stubborn when it comes to a lot of things, and I try to forgive those that have hurt me or anything along the lines of that... but let's get real, I still hold grudges at times. Which sucks. Big time.


SOOOOOO, considering the new year is about to begin, I need to make some resolutions, which that will be one of them, overall everyone tries to be the best person they can be. But what some may not realize is that, it's the little things that build up to that great person. So I figure I would start with something little like forgiveness.

Forgiving someone no matter what they do to you, in truth, is the best thing you could probably give them besides love. And you know what? I am making it a creed of mine to try and do just that.
So here is my public service announcement:


To all that this may regard and matter... To those that have done wrong doing near, beside, at, or by me... I forgive you. And to all that I have betrayed, hurt, lied to, or anything else that you all don't deserve, I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I broke our trust, I'm sorry for trespassing against you. I would love to be your friend again. You all have made me who I am today, and I thank you for that. To those that are hurting, stay strong. There's always someone out there for you, and when you are in doubt, turn to the Lord, as cheesy as you may think that sounds, he'll never leave... And I promise, if you think you have no one else, I'll be your champion in your absence. 


So thank you for every Big Guy, you da beeeessssst. :)


Until the next time, Peace & Blessings in the words of Glozell.


Oh, and Carli... I been thinking about you. :)

Being the Change.

There is only 3 more days until Christmas. 3 more days!


Do you all know what this means?!
Three more days of:
-splurging on presents
-baking as many treats as you can for Santa
-rejoicing for Jesus' birth!!!! :)
-hoping for a blanket of snow to fall!
-singing and dancing to jolly Christmas music! (preferably Justin Bieber or Michael Buble's Christmas albums)
-wrapping those dang presents
-being with loved ones and exchanging presents


MeeeeeeeeerrrryyyyyChrisssstmassss :)

Ah, I love this season! So much joy, love, and laughter!

Anyways, on to the topic of: Being the Change.

There are plenty of people that inspire the SHIZ out of me.

But seriously.

Meet Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi:
This man has got it going on!
Gandhi led India to independence and inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. Gandhi is often referred to as Mahatma or "Great Soul". In India, he is also called Bapu or "Father" and was officially honored as the Father of the Nation. Gandhi strove to practice non-violence and truth in all situations, and advocated that others do the same. He lived modestly in a self-sufficient residential community and wore the traditional Indian dhoti and shawl, woven with yarn he had hand spun on a charkha. He ate simple vegetarian food, and also undertook long fasts as means of both self-purification and social protest. (this information was mostly brought to you by Wikipedia)

If you don't call that an inspiration, then my name isn't Jessica Marie Hudson!
I know it may seem a little cliche and all, but seriously he did somethings that people wouldn't dare in his time, and lived a life full of truth and honesty. He saw that there was a need for change and instead of pointing fingers or asking others to do things for him, he took initiative and became the change himself. 

"An ounce of practice is worth more than tons of preaching." - Mohandas Gandhi

In conclusion, Gandhi also said, "[y]ou must be the change you wish to see in the world" so go forth and make a difference. If you feel something is unjust or whatever the case may be... do something about it! If you don't think anyone believes in you... I DO! :)

Until the next time.................. Take Care 
P.s. Have you all listened to that album yet? 
[Take Care] by DRAKE a.k.a. drizzzzyyy baby.
Haha, But really. Peace & Blessings this Christmas Season!

In the beginning:

Looking back, I've met some awesome people.

People come and go, but everybody has made me who I am today.

This is supposed to be a quoting blog, but hey, I can make it whatever I want. (;

In the words of Glozell,


Peace and Blessings ... Peace and Blessings!
"Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today."
-James Dean
"You were born ORIGINAL.
Don't die a COPY."
"We was young, full of insecurities. Grown up now, and all we got is old memories. So can you do me a favor, if I pull it together sooner than later. We won't be here forever and I realized I waited too long but please don't move on you don't need no one else."
"I believe that everything happens for a reason.  People change so you can learn to let go.  Things go wrong so you can appreciate them when they're right.  You believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself.  And sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together."

-Marilyn Monroe
