Very interesting and insightful read!
“Zuckerberg tries to put himself in the heads of people who don’t have his weapons-grade mental hardware, his immunity to peer pressure, his absolute mastery of his privacy settings and his gift for inspiring loyalty. In other words, most of the people who use Facebook. But it’s a stretch. His EQ has its limits. He’ll play at...

Day 9: Two things that inspire you.
My family and friends are a given…so let’s think of something else.
Moments like these…”It was one of those days when it’s a minute away from snowing and there’s this electricity in the air, you can almost hear it. And this bag was, like, dancing with me. Like a little kid begging me to play with it. For fifteen minutes....

Day 6: Five fictional characters you identify with
I don’t really like this prompt (which is noted by the fact that I skipped a few days to post this), but I’ll roll with it. Lame answers begin now. Topanga from Boy Meets World - She’s just one of those girls who always has some random/weird comment to make, like me. She was also a huge nerd and stupidity angered her.
Amy from...

Saw this somewhere online…something along the lines of…people tell you the good times never last. Truth is, the bad times never last either. :)

Day 3: Eight songs that mean a lot to you. This was really hard for me! I go in and out of song favorites weekly…but here are 8 that have been timeless for me and/or have meaning for me.
“Antologia” - Shakira. The song is so lyrically beautiful and I can literally listen to it on repeat forever (which I do sometimes haha). She’s looking back on a relationship and...

Day 2- Nine things you have learned about yourself this year.
Everything works itself out. It’s just a matter of time. Sometimes when you think you’ve hit rock bottom, something or someone surprises you and makes you realize that everything really does happen for a reason. Likewise, just when you think you couldn’t have it better, it gets better. Life is full of surprises.
I have an obsession...

Day 1: Ten Facts About Me
My parents speak to me in Spanish and I respond in English.
If I could eat one thing for the rest of my life, it would be sushi and sashimi (okay, I guess that’s two things).

Couldn’t agree more with you. Being happy takes just as much as work as being sad!
shalu:
“Don’t look down/ it’s an impossible view”
There is a reason why there is so much negativity in this world….because its NOT easy to stay positive. I view optimism as an art. Like any other form of art, the ability to remain positive throughout life’s trials and tribulations is a skill that develops...
