  • Hello and Goodbye

    Hello & Goodbye – Photo by: google.com/images

    I found a picture on line that had a great verse about hello and goodbye, I thought I would put together a poem. Tell me what you think.

    Hello and Goodbye

    Hello to the new me
    Goodbye to what you made me be
    Hello to my new life
    Without you by my side

    Hello to freedom
    Goodbye to the tie down
    Hello starting over
    Where have you been?
    Goodbye person I once knew within.

    Hello and Goodbye
    To what I once knew
    Hello new beginnings
    Goodbye now I’m through

    Hello’s give you hope
    Goodbyes kill your dreams
    It’s never easy finding the in between.
    Once I say goodbye
    Forget who I am
    Forget that I knew you
    Forget that I ever believed in you
    My hello was lived short
    But my goodbye will live forever

    Hello new life
    Goodbye the tears that came at night
    Hello hope
    Goodbye old life.

  • Nothings Forever

    Nothings forever
    I’ve learned that from the past
    When I met him, I thought our love would last
    Then he broke my heart in two, left me wondering what i did wrong,
    made me move on.
    Nothings forever
    I’ve learned that from the past
    When I met him, I thought our love would last
    He lied, he cheated, he broke me to pieces
    I had to move on, I had to get out
    I couldn’t believe I fell for his lies
    and in the end it was only his demise.
    Nothings forever
    I’ve learned that from the past
    in the end of any heartache
    you learn to move on
    you learn nothings forever
    you learn that in the end everything will be okay
    and when you learn to walk away
    there is nothing left to say.

  • 3 Drinks for Cinco de Mayo

    Happy Cinco de Mayo 2012 – Photo by: Google.com/images

    Cinco de Mayo is coming up, it’s a traditional holiday celebrated by Mexico. This holiday is primarily celebrated in Puebla, where this holiday is called ‘El Dia de la Batalla de Puebla’ Translation: The Day of the Battle of Puebla. It celebrates there freedom from the first years of the American Civil War and the victory over French Forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862.

    This year I decided to share 3 Drink recipes I found that are my favorites:

    1. Margarita – 7 parts tequila, 4 parts triple sec and 3 parts lime juice, served on the rocks; a salted rim is optional. No strawberries, no mangoes, no blenders, and most importantly, no Cuervo Gold. Use a real tequila, one that’s marked 100% de agave, but don’t splurge; you don’t need $50-a-fifth sipping tequila for this drink. You can find the recipe Here

    2. Paloma – A shot of tequila and three shots of Squirt, Jarritos Toronja or another grapefruit soda, served on the rocks. Try a good tequila here too, I promise you won’t regret it.

    3. El Diablo – 1 1/2 ounce(s) Tequila (Again try a good tequila)
    1 ounce of cranberry juice, Fresh squeezed lime juice, 1/2 ounce of simple syrup and a splash of ginger ale. Add a wedged lime if you like.

    Hope you have a great Cinco de Mayo!

    Enjoy and be responsible. 😉

  • My boyfriend cheated on me, should I stay?

    Stay or Go – Picture by: Google.com/images

    The Question:

    Dear kristin nicole;

    My boyfriend cheated on me and I don’t know if to stay with him or leave him. He say’s he is sorry and it will never happen again, but I don’t know if to trust him anymore.

    My Response:

    Dear cheated on;

    You shouldn’t stay in a relationship where the man does not respect you. A person who cheats on another person does not respect them or care enough to stop what they are doing before doing it. At the end of the day you have to ask yourself, if he is worth sticking around with, or if there is someone else out there who won’t hurt you the way he just did? Be strong, and remember that there is always better, and no person should have to be in a relationship where there is no trust. Trust is key to any relationship.

  • Broken in Two

    Broken in Two – Photo by: google.com/images

    I had someone write to me once about their relationship, how it ended and how it began, and she wanted me to write a poem that described her relationship. SO…. Here it is, let me know what you think….

    Broken in Two

    I loved you with words unsaid
    I loved you until you cheated in my bed
    I loved you for all the wrong reasons
    I loved you for all the right feelings
    I loved you for what you didn’t say
    for all the lies you made

    You looked at me with truth
    I didn’t see the real you
    You were a liar and a fake
    you cheated on me and that was your biggest mistake

    I tried to forgive you
    I tried to ignore the truth
    I was blinded by an image that wasn’t me and you

    you took my heart
    you played it like a string on a guitar
    you said you loved me
    but the truth was you only loved yourself

    you lied to yourself
    made everything bigger than it was
    pretended to be happy
    lost without a doubt

    one day the light turned on
    and you knew you couldn’t pretend anymore
    you fought it but you had to say it out loud
    our relationship was a blur
    as if it was never true
    i wish it weren’t because it would have been easier to forget you.

    When i moved on
    you wanted me back
    it was too late
    you have to face the facts,
    you fucked up
    and there’s no turning back.

    now i see you and you pretend to be happy
    but i know you
    you never changed
    you can put on an act
    pretend to be happy
    pretend nothing in the world will break you
    but we both know the truth
    you’re broken in two

    the person i once knew
    and the new you
    you can put on a smile
    you can move forward in life
    but deep down inside you’ll never be you
    you will always be the broken man i once knew.

    xo,

  • You’re NOT the one (Her thoughts)

    This is an old poem (Repost). Enjoy

    PART 2 – You’re NOT the One (Her thoughts)……

    You thought you stopped loving me?
    You thought you didn’t care?
    How could you be so selfish to just sit back and stare?
    I looked into your eyes as my eyes filled up with tears,
    You stood there standing watching me drown out my fears.

    You pretended to be happy.
    You put on an act,
    You thought I couldn’t see the truth,
    You had to face the facts.

    You put up a wall; you pushed me to the floor
    I did all I could do
    I even gave you my door.
    Then one day I woke up and realized this is it.
    I didn’t want to be with you, my fate was sealed with out your kiss.

    CHORUS:
    Now you’re the one crying inside
    You’re the one that can’t let go
    You’re the one wishing for me to come back
    Wishing once again I’d be at your door.

    You pushed me way to far.
    I walked right out the door.
    I told you I loved you but I couldn’t take the pain no more.
    I asked you if you loved me.
    I gave you one last chance.
    All you did was look at me, you failed my last request.

    With silence in your eyes, you stood in disbelief.
    You didn’t say a single word, you didn’t share a peep.
    If you would have listened closely,
    You can hear my every word,
    You can hear the tears fall down
    And my heart break in a million burns.

    You didn’t think I’d leave you,
    You thought I’d always be around
    You thought you had me.
    You stood your ground.

    Well you thought wrong…
    You let me walk away
    You lost me that day.
    Now you’re left with nothing to say.

    CHORUS x 2

  • I heart Food

    I <3 Food – Photo by: Google.com/images

    I heart Food

    I recently launched my  new site; AGirlsKitchen.com – I love everything about food and I have always loved to cook. I am not a ‘Real’ Chef, but I’m the Chef in my house. If you love food as much as I do, you are constantly looking at pictures and recipes to do. Of course, it’s actually rare if I have the time or energy to make most of these recipes, and sometimes it’s hard to find ingredients that go with these dishes, but I look for them anyway and when I have time I make that recipe.

    I haven’t been able to post as much as I would like but I am in the progress of trying to come up with a plan to at least post one recipe a week. If you have recipes you would like to share, I can post them as a guest recipe. So don’t be shy and email me or comment and I will get in contact with you.

    Recently I have been searching different diets like the low carb diet, which I have been on and off on for over a year, you just cut out all white carbs during the week, bread, rice, pasta, potatoes, and you implement good carbs (vegetables), legumes and meat, chicken or fish. I thought it would be harder to do but I actually enjoy eating healthier and I can feel my body having more energy than usual. Our Saturday’s are our cheat days, so we indulge and I cook all the good stuff that I am usually looking at during the week. Recently we have been looking into the Paleo life style, although it does interest me, I do not think on a personal level that I would like to implement this 100% into my diet. I love food too much, and I know not everything is healthy for you, but you only live once, and as long as you moderate what you eat and you don’t go junk food crazy, then it doesn’t hurt to indulge a little in life. When I see food I love, my mouth waters, my taste buds start jumping and I can’t help but feel like a kid in a candy store. If I go to a restaurant and love their dish, I try to think of ways to recreate it at home, and I don’t mean that I get a little excited, I mean it’s Christmas all over again. Sure I’m not a Chef, but I do think I can cook pretty damn good, and if I can make a dish where my mouth says YUM and my heart skips a beat, then I’m going all in….

    I have a few websites I would like to share with you and you should definitely check them out:

  • I had a dream with you the other day

    Dreams – Photo Found on google.com/images

    I had a dream with you the other day

    You wrapped me in your arms and said everything would be okay

    I looked into your eyes and you changed into someone new

    Now I’m feeling lost and so confused.

    You left me without a word, you didn’t say goodbye

    You left me in tears and I didn’t know why

    I loved you for reasons unsaid

    And from one moment to the next you left me for her bed.

    Another person in my life, you come and go as you please

    You don’t say a single word; you just look at me and tease

    But a part of me is happy and a part of me is sad because when,

    I looked into your eyes you changed into someone new

    Now I’m feeling lost and so confused.

    You were someone when I met you

    Then you changed into someone else

    This new you isn’t the person I fell for

    You changed for the worse, you’re lost and incomplete

    The heartache would have been faster if you would have let me be

    But you dragged my heart out; you held it in your hands

    You played with it and let it go, leaving me bewildered and alone

    I looked into your eyes as you changed into someone new

    Now I’m feeling lost and so confused.

    I hide from my shadow trying to cover the pain

    Trying to imagine a world where everything is sane.

    Then one day I found you

    I turned to you and everything felt right

    I see what I was missing

    Someone to make me feel alright

    Someone to make all the worries go away

    Someone to love me in all the right ways.

    When I look into your eyes it’s just you and me

    The person I want to be with

    The person who holds my heart

    The person who makes everything feel better when I’m falling apart

  • Dream Big

    Dream Big

    Dream Big

    Some people dream big, they go for what they want and they don’t stop until they get there, others dream and are disappointed by life’s outcomes and they give up hope that any dream will ever come true. If we give up on our dreams, what do we have left? Dreaming can only give us hope, hope that one day we will grow up to be what we have dreamed of since we were little, or just hope that one day we will be where we want to be when we figure out where “this dream” really is… I can’t say I have wanted to be a writer since I was little, I really didn’t start writing until I was about 15 years old. I remember sitting on my recliner at home one day and just being inspired to write a poem. Once I started writing, I couldn’t stop. Even then, I didn’t really think about becoming a writer/editor of any sort, I wrote because I loved it, I never thought in a million years it would be something I would want to do for the rest of my life, not only because it inspires me but because when I write, it’s the one thing that makes me want more.

    So I’m not exactly where I would want to be in my life right now, and no I don’t get paid for writing (at least not yet), but I do it and in some form it brings me satisfaction, knowing someone out there is reading this right now, knowing that in some ways I may have helped someone with my writing, and knowing that one day this will be my full time job (although I wouldn’t see it as a job, more of a blessing). I know what it feels like to feel like nothing is going right in life, and I know how it feels like when that door finally opens and you can see a little bit of hope peaking out, not knowing where it is going to lead, but knowing that wherever you are going is going to be where you’re supposed to be. I’m not saying dreaming is easy, life gives a lot of disappointments, but with disappointments comes strength and with strength comes the faith that dreaming big, is what will lead us to where we want to be.

    Don’t ever stop dreaming big, when we stop dreaming, we stop hoping, and when we stop hoping nothing is left but a little black hole, open your dreams to a new beginning and have faith that one day all our hard work will lead us to a new beginning, a beginning to where dreams come true…

  • Don’t EVER Give Up….. Live your Dream

    Don’t allow yourself to Break…. Do something about it…..

    When someone you love is breaking and there isn’t anything you can do about it, it leaves you feeling helpless and useless. It breaks even your heart just to see them breaking. Sometimes I wish I could tell this person to wake up and smell the roses, life is too short to be miserable all the time, why are you choosing to live this way? But are they choosing to live this way? Is it a choice to be blinded by life and the changes we can’t determine in life’s path? When we hold hope to something important to us it sometimes blinds us from the truth. I’ve always said, ’the mind blinds what the heart doesn’t want to feel.’ Or does the heart blind us from what we don’t want to see. As much as we try to protect our hearts, we cannot fight the inevitable. What is meant to be is meant to be, and no matter how many wrong turns we make, you’ll end up just where you are supposed to be. We don’t see why things happen in the moments but we later discover that we had to go through them to be where we are today, to be who we are today. Everyone has regrets, it’s up to us to hold on to them or let them go, because we can’t turn back the clocks, we can’t change time and we can’t change the decisions we have made. The only thing we can do is learn from them, hope that things will get better, that deep down in the hearts of all desires our wishes, our hopes and our dreams will in fact one day come true. If we stay buried in the hopes of all things impossible you will lead a sad life. We have to lift ourselves up, find deep down what it is that will truly make us happy, and go for it. I’m not saying you won’t fail; sometimes we have to fail a few times in order to get to where we want to be. I know I’ve failed more than a few times at more than a few things. I get up and I keep pushing forward. I only hope that whoever is listening right now does the same…. Don’t let the fears of moving forward hold you down, if we don’t try to be happy, if we don’t try to do what we want in life, then we only have ourselves to blame for the sadness and tribulations we keep living over and over again. Because when life gives you lemons, you don’t just throw them away, you make lemonade. For me…. I MAKE A VODKA TONIC

    Live life to the fullest, don’t ever let anyone tell you that you CAN’T succeed and don’t ever lose faith in yourself. If you are scared of being alone, remember that no one is every alone unless they choose to be alone, and life is too short to live not knowing what you want in life, to live unhappy and unsure of yourself, because at the end of the day all we have in life are the few moments that make us look back and smile, the moments in life where you say…. I loved that day, that moment, that minute, that second of my life and today I can truly say that with all the hard times, with all the tribulations I have come across in my life, I am still pushing forward, I am still trying to discover things about myself and I am still dreaming my dreams, and one day…. I’ll be LIVING THEM.
