What's in your milkshake?

I felt the need to talk about myself for my first post in order to give you a feel of who is writing, Also, do forgive me if this is a bit childish but I cannot help it, my mind is still that of a child's.

Have you ever thought of your life as a food or object? I have probably thought about this more than I should've. In my case, if a food represented my life, it would most definitely have to be a milkshake. Surely a milkshake isn't the most healthiest of desserts in the world, but it is most certainly one of the best.

Now, just try and keep up with me as I explained my odd reasoning as to why a milkshake represents my life.

When I think of a milkshake, I imagine a tall, crystal glass giving you a clear view of the ingredients inside of it that makes up this mountain of deliciousness. The tall glass would have to represent my family as they are the ones that shaped me the way that I am today. And just like a tall crystal glass, I don't hide what is on the inside, I like to show others who I am and where I come from.

The flavor of my milkshake would have to be peanut butter with some decorative strawberry syrup because it's similar to a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and I feel like it represents my character. Some people love it and some people don't, while others are allergic to peanuts and a few are simply just not quite ready for this jelly.

The amount of whipped cream at the top of my milkshake would have to be equal to the amount of times I spend with my head in the clouds. If there is something that I do a lot is think of situations that I may encounter in life or I'll try to foresee the result of an upcoming event. I must confess that many times I think of situations that will most likely not happen, but I can't help it. As a result, the amount of whipped cream that is on my milkshake most definitely exceeds the suggested serving.

My friends would be the sprinkles on the whipped cream due to the fact that I always like to surround myself with them. I am a very social person and love making new friends. They add that extra flavor to my life that enables me to feel laugh and have a great time wherever I go. Every new friend I make shall be a new sprinkle to my milkshake and a new person to share my life experiences with.

Lastly, above all of what is milkshake is the delicious and sour cherry. It does not represent my sexuality but how I dealt with it in my life. The sourness represents the times in which I had to bite my tongue in order to avoid revealing what once was my biggest secret. The sweetness in the end was what made it all worth it. The beauty of the cherry is that it is exposed and it is the highlight of the whole milkshake. It isn't something that you can easily dismiss or remove from my life's milkshake because you won't be able to enjoy it as you should and you won't be able to get a sense of who I truly am. In case you are wondering, my milkshake does in fact bring all the boys to the yard. Sorry, I had to.

With that said, what's in your milkshake?

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.
