i want to get married...or do i just want a wedding?!
I'm only 22 years old...turn 23 this month and I have a longing inside of me to get married. It seems like everyone I went to high school with is getting married and starting a family. Am I jealous? Absolutely NOT! I honestly don't see the rush. Have I found "the one" well NO! So I've come to realize that I just want a wedding. They are so glamorous and fun how could any girl not want one?!? The television is swamped with wedding shows like: Say Yes to the Dress, My Fair Wedding With David Tutera, and Amazing Wedding Cakes that have my eyes glued to the screen pretty frequently! It's no wonder I want to throw a wedding! So boys, don't get scared away....I just want to use my creativity to throw a fabulous night full of fun and love ♥

we all have a mean streak...
I have always considered myself to be a nice person. I was raised to be well mannered and respectful. Never the person to pick on others in school or put people down, I have no tolerance for bullying. It sickens me that people can be so mean. Many make New Year's resolutions to be a better person...or vow to be nicer to people after a good church sermon. Well I can only speak for myself, but New Year's resolutions only last about a couple of weeks and inspiring church sermons only stick for a couple of days. That really saddens me to admit, but it's the truth. So while we may be kind to family, friends, and others we come in contact with...it's so easy to be mean to strangers that we see walking around wherever we may go. The people that we will most likely never encounter as we go about our daily routines.
For instance, today I was in the car waiting for my dad to come out of a convenience store. A girl walked in front of the car and BOOM..it was like word vomit. "What the heck is she wearing?" I said aloud. It took me all of 2 seconds to look at her and put down her style. Oh, but I didn't stop there of course. "No she does not have a brown purse with her black outfit," I spit out. (in my defense, we all know that is a huge fashion DON'T people) "MONICA," my mother scolded from the backseat. "I know, I'm so mean. I need to stop...Wait, what kind of shoes is she wearing?" I threw in. Now this is not a one time offense. In fact, I'm pretty sure that I do this daily.
However, I still believe that I am a good person. Is what I do wrong? Absolutely!! But, we all have a mean streak. Don't act like you don't. Some people just have a larger one and use it more often. As much as we'd like to be perfect and polite creatures, we judge people. So, I am going to try and stop being so judgemental. Having rude thoughts about strangers is just as bad as going up to them and telling them what you're thinking. It's going to be hard, but I need to use my mean streak carefully and I advise you to do the same. This world would be a better place if there were nicer people in it!

"to find the right person, you have to be the right person" ♥
I heard this quote during a short video in church one Sunday. It really got me thinking, mainly because it's so true! It is also what inspired me to start this blog...
Everyone that hasn't found it already...is looking for LOVE!! We all know that one person that has a problem dating all the wrong people. It can be kind of annoying to hear complaints about how they can't seem to find Mr./Mrs. Right. Well, maybe the reason they haven't found the right person is because they themselves aren't the right person. Why should anyone be worthy of finding someone great...when they are full of unhealthy faults?! Most people don't want to change..but they want to change their significant other. That makes no sense at all! A relationship means compromising and working together to make sure both people are satisfied. I'm not saying people should try and be perfect because no one is perfect. In the end..it all goes back to what your momma taught you as a child, "treat people as you would want to be treated." So here's my advice to anyone that is looking for the "right person"... take a look in the mirror and ask yourself "Am I the right person? Would I want to be in a relationship with someone like myself?" There's nothing wrong with a little change, especially if it's for the better.

the reason
The reason I started this blog is because I feel like I'm full of...ideas, thoughts, and decent advice. Even though I am a young adult that hasn't experienced a whole lot in life, I have always considered myself to be mature. This blog will mainly consist of quotes that inspire me to think, speak on, and be creative. I hope you will gain something from The Mind of Monica. Enjoy!
