Let my fingers do the walking



As u all may know I spent a pretty little penny purchasing a pair of Beats by Dre solo headphones. And I have been questioned numerous times by people on said purchase. Everyone keeps asking me are they really that special? And my answer is HELL YES! The purity and sound that comes from these headphones is orgasmic! This post is not meant to brag about my splurge purchase but to talk about the music.

Some of the first songs I listened to were songs that used real instrumentation. I listened to India.Arie, John Legend, Alicia Keys (Songs in A minor I can't bang with the new A Keys), Stevie Wonder, and other artists that have REAL music! But what really got me was when I listened to Montagues vs Capulets by Sergei Prokofiev!! I just can't explain to you how Amazing it was! I felt like I was sitting in the middle of a concert hall! Now I don't know if Dr. Dre intended for me to listen to classical music through these headphones but I did it anyway! I loved it! With all that being said this has made me yearn to play my cello.

I love that I have the ability to make music on my own. I don't have to rely on others to portray the mood I'm feeling (granted I love listening to others make music as well) but there is something about knowing that your fingers produced this sound. I can't wait for my fingers to glide up and down the fingerboard creating notes while my bow crosses the stings! It will be a magical moment for me! My fingers are itching...

Untitled thoughts

After Bible Study last night something hit me; that I have the tendency to be apathetic about things that happen to me in life. I'm willing to just see what happens. Which at times can be a good thing but I have come to realize it hasn't been working for me. There are some things that I need to be more proactive about: 1. My relationship with God. See it's not just enough that I am saved. There is way more to being connected to God then going to church one day a week and telling people that I'm a Christian. While I'm not going to be perfect there are numerous things that I can be doing to strengthen and expand my faith. Beginning with what I do at home. I have always thought that it was possible to just read the Bible once maybe twice a week, pray when I was need of something and everything be OK. This I have come to realize is not true. In order to have the relationship with God that I desire I need to be in constant communication with the Lord. And this has to sta...

#RoadToCandidacy

The moment you've all been waiting for, or maybe not, either way it's here!! As of today at 7:44 am my Qualifying Exams are underway!! That's right, for the next 2 months I will be on locked down writing at least 60 pages in response to 3 questions. Send me snacks, love, luck, motivation, and things to do for fun times (because baby girl will need a break)! Hopefully my depression and anxiety are willing to work with me. With that I am off to get started on Question #1! #RoadToCandidacy

Could you Speak up? I can't hear you.

I have always had difficulty standing up for myself or voicing my voice as the young folks say. Speaking my mind and expressing my thoughts and ideas terrifies me. I'm not confident in my opinions and often worry that I'm wrong. These thoughts are only heightened by my ever present anxiety. I'm constantly overthinking and concerned that no one wants to hear what I have to say. To me, my thoughts don't matter to anyone other than myself. My voice often shakes and gets quiet when I'm trying to express myself. I am either worried that my opinions will harm/offend or will go unnoticed. There are several moments over the course of my life where I regret not speaking up or saying something that was on my mind. There is a constant internal struggle that happens every time I faced with a moment to express myself. More often than not, I end up silencing myself. Which I can openly admit has done nothing for me.  All I ended up with was a nagging regret that I should have sa...
