Security Blanket

Sometimes when you think things are over and are out of your life somehow fate finds a way to drop them back in your life. And the reasons are never clear, and you keep wondering why God why would you do this to me! Well I was thinking maybe its time that you can finally be on the same page as the person, or they need to teach you something or the universe just likes messing with you, I'm kind've leaning towards the last one with the universe. I thought the whole point of things ending were because they were supposed to end, but I'm pretty sure the universe has other plans that don't always make sense at the time, which really sucks 'cause you don't know what you're supposed to do, and for me I have a tendency to run, run far away and don't look back! but I know that, that is wrong, because you can't deal with things if you run, but if you don't have the answer what good are you to who is asking.  Thats when you gotta really look at things without all those outside influences of what your friends or family are telling you, you gotta be a little selfish and put on some blinders, 'cause you are the one that has to live with it, so you can't live for others, you gotta live for yourself. I'm not saying its wrong to totally ignore people, what I'm saying is listen to their point of view, discuss, than make your own decision, because at the end of the day, you are stuck with your thoughts and yourself, and if you don;t take into account how you feel and what you want, you will always regret it.  But its really hard I can't lie, when you have something so familiar and your given the choice between it and something new, 'cause this familiar thing or person you know, they know you, you know how they work and they get you, but this new person, you have no clue! They may not get you like the other person did, they don't have your history, your past, but they do have something else, they have potential, possibility, a new world and identity that could fail, but could be amazing, but no one wants to let go of that security blanket, 'cause its all you know, and if we could hold it while exploring a new world we would, but we can't. We need a rock to deep us grounded rather than a blanket to hide the world, 'cause the blanket may hide you, but it doesn't make things go away, it just hides your sight of it, but a rock is there open and clear and won't budge. So maybe its time to put down the blanket and explore the mountains.

Thoughts I

I know it's cliché to say appreciate those you love because you never know what could happen, but it really is true! If i've learned anything you gotta value those strong people in your lives because who knows! the next day something could happen and you will have that sitting regret that you never did anything to show how much you really cared about them. Take this weekend, I spent it with some close friends of mine and a few people I haven't seen in years! but they still came out regardless and we had a blast! Played dance central which for those who haven't played it you gotta get on that! its amazing! went to a local pub and caught the UFC fight, which I don't really like violence but the conversations we were having with people about it were priceless and we watched some amazing Karaoke! for some people it would be a lame weekend but we genuinely had an amazing time! we shared some hilarious stories, met some wild characters, have pictures that will forever be an inside joke, and just got closer with people we never thought we would.  What I'm trying to stress here is that i've had people in my life that I could never see my life without, they fit so perfectly and everything was amazing, and it ended up turning for the worst, some cases see once in awhile some worse ones I haven't talked to since, but that point is, I never had any regrets of the times we shared together. Of course I do miss them in my life, I have new people who have the same insecurities as I do, same sense of humour, same thrive for life and most of all, care genuinely about me and my well being, and for those who are reading and are thinking, what the hell is that supposed to mean??  Think back to yourself and the people that have been the most positively influential to you and remember al the things they did for you not to gain something, not because they owed you something, but because they want you to have what you deserve which in their eyes is only the best.  So approach those people who really really really look out for you and buy them coffee, or pay for their movie ticket or even I don't know tell them how amazing they are! because they could be gone and all you will be left with are what ifs

Why Juice?

Some people may be wondering of all the names to give this blog, why juice. Well you see Juice is a nickname i've carried with me all my life and it has somehow developed into more than just simply a nickname, but kind've a voice, a symbol that type of thing. Also when I think of juice I picture something crisp and fresh and to get you going. So that is why I have decided to name this blog, Coffee with Juice, because I want it to be something that I can share my insight, photography, stories, thoughts and perception on things and be able to hear others as well and maybe gain some new insight and ideas from them! at added the Coffee part as a visual of sitting down for coffee with someone and having a conversation, could go really well, could be an epic fail, or hear a new story, share a laugh, and maybe see something differently.

So lets grab a Coffee and see where this goes :)
