Book Of Likes Faces

Trying to decide between facing the world in person on this fine but chilly Saturday evening or staying snuggled in my recliner with my three fleece throw blankets.

People get too consumed over what someone thinks about xyz or somebody judging them over xyz. Me ... idc. Freedom is doing what you want to do without a care in the world about what the next person thinks about it. Who cares if people thinks it;s crazy, weird, stupid, unattractive, lame, whatever. If it makes you happy do it. The right people will stick by you the wrong people will go.

Can I tell you how great and important it is to have friends that care about what your goals are and having friends that hold you accountable. I have a friend we don’t talk often but when we do he asks me every time “ What are your goals right now” and then I will list then out. Then he will ask what I have accomplished. I get asked this every time we talk. Anytime I have something negative to say he checks me unforgivably. Today after me e😜ressing my struggles with my confidence in my current goals he said to me “Grace, you are a leader you have to carry yourself as such. People look up to you ,you don’t have time to wallow in self pity.” And that’s exactly what I needed to hear and that’s when I realized what kind of friend I had. He reminded me of all of my goals and it was all the same I had doubts and he pushed me. It just made me realize that a friend that cares about your goals and actively pushes you to achieve them is a friend that everybody needs to have. Noticing how appreciative I am to have a friend like that made me check myself and how I am towards my other friends. I’m going to start checking in on their goals and seeing where they are in their lives. It’s the kind of friend everybody needs and that I’m glad I have so I need to pay it forward and maybe everyone else can start doing the same because I am very appreciative and grateful.

I thought I replaced my old glasses with the same glasses I had last time but realized that my lenses were way bigger than the last pair I had after comparing them to the broken pair. I honestly didn’t like them and felt like they were too big for my big face but they grew on me, and now I love them. #bodypositivity

My neighbor knocks on my door and tells me my tires aren't safe and I need new ones. I tell him thank you and that I will get new ones when I get paid. He says no you need to replace them right now, don't worry about it. So here I am getting free new tires. And a set up to get my hood fixed.

I really can't deal with alot of negativity that constantly spews out of alot of vegan's mouths. It's a constant hate and over flow of negative energy. I dont want to be associated with these kind of people. Ganging up on somebody that does not live the way you do accomplishes nothing. Calling them foul names accomplishes nothing. It's bullying and in no way shape or form do i condone bullying i dont care what the reason. To talk about compassion and peace and then allow hate and negativity to roll out of your mouth with out a second thought to it. These are the people that give veganism a bad name, that i dont want any association with. Im not going to drag anybody with a different life style than me through the mud i am going to lead an example and educate and not hate and pick apart others that do not live like me. I'm really close to removing the title of 'vegan' from me. I dont need a title to live in a cruelty free way. #vegan

I go to the gym to hoop almost everyday on my lunch break. Today this sweet older lady walks by then comes back when she sees me hooping. She goes straight for my stack of hoops . I smile at her letting her know it's perfectly cool. She's having a hard time at waiste hooping so I step in give her some tips and tricks and cheer her on. Another lady which im assuming is her friend joins I pass her a hoop. Then 3 more ladies see what's going on and I hand them my last 3 hoops. Next thing you know im giving a mini 20 min hoop course to 5 ladies who seemed to be having such a wonderful time. It ended because they realized they were now late to a yoga class they were all headed to. I just feel so good about it because of how much fun they told me they had and that they would join my hoop class. I told them the only thing holding me back was that I felt like I was socially awkward . One of the ladies reassured me I wasn't socially awkward at all and that I should just go for it and that she's looking forward to hearing about my class. They even gave me their information so I can follow up with them whenever it got set into place. You guys ..... this made me feel SO good. It was definitely a confidence booster. I just need to relax and stop self doubting myself.

I think something I’m going to have to live with is not being met with the same amount of value as the people that I find important to me. What I mean is the level of appreciation that I hold for them is very high. In my mind I place them on a very high pedestal of value. I would climb mountains and go through oceans to see them happy when it is in my ability. I think of them and my heart is happy they are here. I realized (especially on my birthday) that maybe our values aren’t the same. And the way I see others is not exactly the same they view me. I also realized I am not a partial giver it’s either all or nothing from me and that’s why I think I’ll just have to live with it because in my nature I overload and I don’t think I can change that.

Stephen King writes so well you don't even feel like you're reading a book anymore. The reader is absolutely captivated, and inside the story. It takes a few moments to wake up after you stop reading. That's why he's such a good writer. I love his books more than the movies. #books

I personally feel like somebody has a right to not want to be with someone because of preferences or even how someone doesn’t want to date anyone for whatever reason. Everybody has a type. As a gay woman or man if you approach someone at a bar and ask do you like men/women and they say no it’s just ok well they don’t fall in my attraction so let me find someone else but if someone says they don’t date because of a personal preference then it’s a big deal. I don’t understand. You could be totally ok with trans being who they are with out having to be physically involved with them!

I quit smoking 2 weeks ago with stop smoking support, I have the gum and the patches to help, but I feel like I’m really struggling with the change especially with my routine and it’s creating all this anxiety everyday. Ive had anxiety all my life but I’ve had it controlled for almost 3 years now. I feel like I’m anxious about everything and then being anxious about being anxious

My sister always gives me all of her leftovers because her daughter (my niece) doesn't eat left overs! She's an amazing cook. So I figure she saves me about $500 a year which is a lot to me...it is money for vacation!!

You all need to stop trying to look a certain way and start being a certain way!

I’m losing about half a pound a day right now and that’s mostly contributed to my diet. My work out schedule is very inconsistent right now. I am not even trying to lose weight. Hmm.

I feel as a person that’s trying to stop drinking that it takes the upmost of bravery. And for the most part I don't drink until I get around certain people. It’s not even always when I’m social it’s when I’m around certain people.

Sometimes I really have to check myself concerning love. Its those moments of realness and rawness for me. You feel that energy in the room in your heart space.
