Happily ever after begins with YOU!


 There comes a moment in life when everything seems like it is falling apart. Nothing is going right, and tears just keep streaming down your face. No matter how hard you try to stop it, they just keep flowing down your face, splashing on the floor. Mascara streams down your face as if there is nothing else you can do to stop it. Heartbreak is truly the most painful experience we have in life. There is nothing more devastating than the utter pain of your fragile heart breaking into a million little pieces. 

Heartbreak is the worst and unimaginable reality that we all have to endure at some point in our lives. Sometimes it is having a loved one pass away. Other times, it's when you picture a life with someone you love, but then that breaks apart, and you have to move on and find someone else to share that love with. There is a great pain that you feel deep within because everything you ever thought has changed, forever. Somedays, it is hard to wake up and go about your day because you feel as though you wasted several years of your life thinking this person was the right one. Other days, you just have to look at yourself in the mirror and remind yourself of how worthy you truly are. It is a hard reality to accept, but sometimes we have to go through this so we can learn and grow, to better our own selves, and find our inner strength to keep going in life. You cannot grow without facing these obstacles, and you have to accept it. 

...

 Healing takes time. Somedays, it is so extremely hard to wake up and get out of bed. Something is wrong, you know it, you feel it, but you cannot explain it in words. As far as we know, everything is fine, but it is not. Your face is a mask. On the outside, you stand there with a radiant smile. On the inside, you are screaming and falling apart. You feel as though no one understands the pain you are experiencing, so you let it go and keep it all to yourself. One day, you will find someone who takes away all of this pain, and they are going to give you a better reality than you ever thought was possible. It does not matter who, because your future partner will love you so unconditionally that you will forget about this pain you feel right now. At the end of the day, your real friends show you what it is like to be the best version of yourself that you can possibly be before the right person does come along. Do not dwell on the "what-ifs" or "the ones" because, at the end of the day, the only person that matters in your life is yourself. You can live happily ever after with yourself, and you can and will get through it, just do not lose sight in yourself.

Wicked Part One: A Film That Leaves You Changed "For Good"

 I was 17, on a flight to the Bahamas for a family vacation, when I first listened to the Wicked Broadway soundtrack. Staring out the window at the endless clouds, I felt like I was soaring right alongside Elphaba as she defied gravity. That music stayed with me, becoming a soundtrack to a summer I’ll never forget. Years later, sitting in the audience at Playhouse Square, I watched the story come to life on stage, and it changed me “for good.” So, when the movie finally came out, I walked into the theater with high hopes—and let me tell you, I was utterly blown away. Wicked: Part 1 was released in November 2024, directed by Jon M. Chu, starring Ariana Grande as Glinda and Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba. It’s a fantasy musical adaptation of the Broadway hit and novel by Gregory Maguire. It starts with celebrating the Wicked Witch of the West’s downfall after melting and perishing to her doom. Although all seems fine and celebratory in the Land of Oz, we later learn that the Wicked Witch, ...

Bride Survival Guide: The Truth About Being a Bride

Congratulations! You're engaged!  Now is supposed to be the happiest time of your life. You get to marry the man or woman you love, plan a giant party (or a small one, if you prefer) with all your close friends and family, and wear the most beautiful gown. If any of these things make you anxious, you are not alone. Many brides feel overwhelmed during their "Engaged Era," and many don't get the support they need when feeling this way.  While this is an exhilarating time, your nerves and anxieties are valid. The second you get that ring on your finger, your personal life and boundaries go right out the door, and everyone wants to know every detail, even some that you haven't even planned out or thought about yet! When is the date? Where did you get your dress? What does it look like? But here's the thing: no one asks how you are doing.  Here is my hot take: society has made weddings so impractical and unreasonable that any bride-to-be feels overwhelmed. Everythi...

Rifts and Rays: Restoring Kindness in a Fractured World

 In a world where things are often dark and negativity creeps around every corner, there is always a rift in the clouds for the sun to appear. Today, we are experiencing more cloudy days than sunny. People no longer respect boundaries or treat others with respect because they do not see eye to eye with other individuals. This is creating a rift in our world.  When did people stop caring about treating others the way we want to be treated? When did people think that it is okay to put others down because they are different from us? When was this ever okay to accept in our society? The answer is never. We, as humans, act upon how we observe others. When we see other individuals we love tearing someone else down, we do the same. The pattern continues until later down the line someone wakes up and stops it, breaking the cycle and starting a new pattern from scratch. We all have different religious affiliations and beliefs, but when did any of that mean disrespecting your neighbor?...
