Planned Without You.
Whiter Than Weddings

Weddings. We all want to be involved in one, have one of our own and any chance we see a wedding on TV we are filled with absolute sweetness and happiness. Weddings are a chance to show someone you love them, to show other people how much you love the other person, and a chance to celebrate two people as a union. Ever since I was a little girl, I have never been the type to want to plan my wedding or really put much thought into them. They are sweet, happy and I loved being in my sister's wedding. I just never really looked at wedding ideas on Pinterest. Until now, I look every chance I can get.

I always thought I would never want a winter wedding, but that all changed when I got my first Charlie Brown Christmas tree, and I decided the theme had to be winter. Now of course, I want my wedding in November. The perfect medium for a winter themed wedding in Autumn. I always thought Pinterest would never give me the best ideas for any wedding themed idea of mine because I am so particular. It had every single idea I wanted, and more. I was kind of shocked for a moment. I was planning my wedding, but I'm not even engaged? I always tell my grandmother, I don't need a guy to be happy. My grandmother is dead set on me finding the love of my life, and getting married. Right now- I am satisfied with planning a wedding for myself without my future husband.

I think the most important part of this whole entire process is knowing who you are as a person, and knowing what you want. I know who I am inside, and I know what I want for this. I doubt in five years I will change my mind for the better. My wedding will be boho cic, winter themed and the most absolute stunning wedding you have ever seen. I will not settle for anything less then the best and what I deserve is the best. Planning without the love of my life by my side does not mean I want or need that connection. It just means I know that God has my future husband in mind, and He is making the connection happen on His time and not ours. As much as I am happy right now with my situation in that department, if God wants us to meet, then God wants us to meet and I have no control over that.

Wedding planning should be fun. Weddings should be fun. I do not want to stress over any little detail, and that is one reason why I have it all planned now. God always says "Do not worry about tomorrow for tomorrow has enough troubles on it's own"...... Matthew 6:34 is one of my favorite verses in the bible by far. I am not going to worry about wedding planning, meeting the love of my life or anything else. I know that planning now might seem a bit far out, but in this moment I would much rather be prepared than not prepared.

I just know that planning without my future husband now, will make things so much easier in the long run. Can any one else relate or am I the only one?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
