"NO ONE CAN MAKE YOU FEEL INFERIOR BUT YOURSELF"
I refuse to let myself think otherwise any longer.

When The 3 Second Rule Cannot Apply...
You know karma is at it's best when you go to take your lemon raspberry loaf out of the starbucks paper bag and the icing falls onto the floor.
I think I'm having an FML moment.

Decisions
They can be unequivocally simple.Insuperably difficult. The can have a diminutive impact or eminent consequences. Regardless, in life, we have to make them and sometimes- it sucks.
Right now, I am faced with many of each sort. Getting to the end would be most desirable but I firmly believe that it is the road along the way that molds people into who they are- whom they become.I can choose to constantly fear what is around the corner or I can embrace and learn from it.

5 year stint!
Holy Crap! 5 years has gone by- I realized I had forgotten about my blog when I went to sign in under a different user name.
I think perhaps it's time to jump start this again.
Yes.
But, perhaps the "ideal of becca land" needs a little switch-a-roo to something a little less juvenile... I am after all getting old :P

Rut
I'm stuck in a rut- I deplore it. I haven't a clue as to why I am even in one. I believe perhaps it is my job (the lack of motivation I confront everyday ) or perhaps, it is failure of expectations that others have not met (for instance, Emma's father). Whatever it is, I wish to be out of it. So I will say, for now, I am now coming out of my rut. There. Done.

Happy 2nd birthday!
It was Emma's second birthday on the 11th. I realize how fast things go every year. She has indeed reached the terrible two's where she refuses to pee on the potty, not eat her veggies and climb all over the furniture- yet, I am enjoying every second of it because I know that her third will come even sooner than the second.
I have to remind myself to book some botox soon- at this rate anyhow
Boo!
HA, I always thought that I looked absolutley fabulous as a midget with big boobs!
This is how cool my job is- not only do I get to teach kids gym, but I also get to be one as well!

True Friends
I have met people over the last few months that have blown my mind. They are really incredible people. Some are completly nuts and I think they just may have lost there marbles, some are the sweetest and kindest of people imaginable and some just have the word FUN stapled to there forheads. Through this past school year I have been in awe because people have been so supportive and encouraging- I have been shown what real frienships mean and stand for. Whether it be spending a evening playing poker and having good laughs, trying to move a over weight piano and have things not go according to plan, getting picked on at work, getting taught spanish even if I am indeed hopeless at it, having a shoulder to cry on or just being able to vent to a person- all these things and more have meant more to me- it is nice to beable to trust such a wide circle of people and know that they will indeed be a friend.

Beauty Fades, but Dumb is Forever
Beauty.
A recent conversation of such started turning the crank. What is it exactly? What defines beauty or makes one "beautiful". I ponder more now than ever my own definition. Do I look through the eyes of social context and attempt to grasp their understanding of physical attributes? Or, do I scrutinize and try to understand the more submerged mien?
It's easy to critisize from societys frame of reference. Tangible beauty is usually viewed and commented to be a important factor. It is, after all, the first distinguishment that we make. Their physique, facial features, skin color, hair, physical styIe and outward presentation - all of that is a deciding factor for determining if someone is beautiful. If one holds no fragment of material attraction and fails to meet with the status quo of society - often they are disregarded leaving behind nothing but a reliance on wit and inginuity.
But what about the inner self? Does that not too exemplify beauty as well? Does is not have any contribution? I have learned that long ago- physical beauty is exaggerated and overemphasized on. Yet, some people cannot simply get past the physical realm. I sometimes of course am guitly of that but who isn't? We are all biased persons and it's in our nature (or perhaps a nurtured matter) to do so. Initially, we are unable to reach out to further exploration, inept to close the palpable door and open a more profound and mattersome entry. We all crave to have that sexy, alluring and pulchritudinous partner- but once you have that person- is it really what you wanted in the first place? Do they have more than their physical beauty to sustain themselves? One can not perpetuate physical beauty forever so there has to be something more to contribute.
Personality, intellegence,ones demeanor, etc. This all plays a important part of beauty as well. Take for instance, upon meeting someone, they are georgeous and the perfect figmant your imagination could have ever conjured up. But, after conversing and learning about them you find that they may lack all of those internal features that perhaps came second to you. Now, is that person truly as appealing as intially thought? Physical appeal last only for such a length and when one has no heart or spirit- what else have they to offer? Some yes only seek to find this physical beauty and disregard all else,but for the rest of society who seek perhaps happiness and longevity, we usually are able to seek out those whose beauty is truly relevent, felicitous, and compliments not only them but ourselves as well.
