Everything

I have nothing.
I crave nothing.
I am nothing.

Something can rise from nothing.
Something I can create.
Something to live for.

From a little bit of something I can find my everything.
Everything I can hope for.
Everything I will hold in my heart.

Just My Type

I just want a guy that will make me laugh.
A guy that will give me flowers on any other day except Valentine’s Day.
That will not look at me like I’m immature when I make a dick joke, but instead will add to it.
One that will understand that I like my space.
That knows when I say “I’m fine” to just hug me and leave me alone.
One that will motivate me.
A guy that’s willing to be spontaneous with me.
One that won’t mind movie marathon nights.
A guy that’s ready for a big family.
One that will appreciate my randomness and quirkiness.
One that I can have long talks with about nothing and everything.
A guy that I can call my best friend.
One that will love me for me.

Review: Mane 'n Tail Shampoo & Conditioner

This week when I washed my hair I was finally able to use the Mane 'n Tail shampoo and conditioner. I haven't used this brand since I was a kid and that was back when I had a relaxer.

 With the shampoo I didn't need to use much. Just a few quarter sized amounts in the palm of my hand was enough to cover my whole head, and it is pretty thick. I can't describe what it smells like. The closest I can think of is a bouquet of flowers, but just a bit more subtle, either way I'm just trying to say that it smells great. At first I could tell that it made my hair feel light and clean, but as I rinsed it felt like my hair was stripped of ALL moisture. The conditioner made it a little better.

 Same as the shampoo, I didn't need to use much. The smell was exactly the same also. I left it on for about 3 minutes. Afterwards my hair felt a little better and fuller once I rinsed it out. No too many complaints on the conditioner. Once my hair dried though I had to use a little more oil than usually because of how stripped my hair felt after the shampoo.

It Happens For a Reason

The battles you fight and win.
The battles you fight and lose.
Everything happens for a reason.
People come in and out of your life.
Each bringing a lesson.
They are there for a reason.
The path you walk down may be endlessly rocky.
The issues you face can knock you down.
You are not a victim of bad luck.
You are not a target of karma.
Right now in this moment is where you’re supposed to be.
Make the most of it.

Dreaming

Every night I close my eyes I see your face
Dreams of you bring a momentary happiness
My dreams are a place where you are mine and I yours
My smile grows under the darkness of night
As the sun rises your presence becomes weaker
I slowly open my eyes to the heartbreak that you're not there
I feel that empty spot where your body should be
I slam my eyes shut hoping to stay in dreamland with you
Imagining you wrapping your arms around me from behind
You breathe in the coconut scent of my hair
I could feel so safe in your arms forever
Reality sets in as realize I'm all alone
The days drag as I anticipate a date with my dream man
One day I'll dream in broad daylight
One day I'll wake up and smile at the sight of your face
A lifetime I will gladly share with you
For now I'll await you in my dreams until that day comes

Perfect

I’m looking for perfection.
A soft touch.
An inviting smile.
A warm heart.
Eyes that burn right through me.
That is my ideal of perfection.
Light headed in love.
Butterflies a flutter.
That’s all a woman can ask for.
Loving me for me.
Loving you for you.
This model of perfection wanders this Earth.
One day our paths shall meet.
Locked in a forever.
Our perfect love.
