Sometimes, it's good to break out some good "girl power" music. No, I'm not talking about the Spice Girls (though I still love the Spice Girls. who doesn't? they were so cool back in the day). There are some artists that when I think of them, I think of girl empowering music. Britney Spears (some of her music), Christina Augerlia (again, some of her music), Beyonce. One of my favorite female artists that make feel that I am empowered to do anything is Kelly Rowland. Yes, a lot of her music is a lot more sensual than girl empowering, I understand that. Heck, look at her latest YouTube video, Lay It On Me: Kelly Rowland - Lay It On Me. (What I really want to know is where do you get a man couch like that? Christmas present!) But, I just bought her most recent album, and there are definitely a lot of songs that remind me that I am a strong woman, and that I can do anything. I'm Dat Chick (favorite line: I'm not cocky, I just love myself) and Feelin Me Right Now are two of my favorites, so if you have a chance to check out her album, I recommend it. Especially if you need a nice pick me up of positive energy in the form of R&B.
The lovely Kelly helped me do what I needed to do for a certain situation that has been bothering me since mid-June. Nothing too big, but you know those things that you know that you need to do something, but can't bring yourself to do it? Like deleting someone's phone number that you shouldn't be talking to, or getting done with something that you really just don't want to close it off. Stuff like that. Well, I finally put the "period" on this situation, and I feel great about it. Never deal with people, situations, etc. that make you feel inferior and low about yourself. The only person that can make you unhappy, inferior, etc. is yourself. Don't allow yourself to feel poorly about you. You are a beautiful creature, and there are plenty of people that love you for who you are. Don't change yourself for another person, it's not worth it in the end, because you're not being true to you. You are the most important person in your life, don't forget that. People will come and go, but you have to deal with you everyday. Wouldn't it be easier if you loved yourself completely?
Are there any people (whether you're close to them or not) that make you feel empowered? Or form of art, place, subject, etc. that makes you feel empowered? Whatever, whomever, whereever, don't let go of them. You may not need them all the time, but they will always be there for you when they're needed. And don't forget to show them a little love every once in a while... everyone/everything likes to feel appreciated.
I'm so happy that it is sunny and cool outside today. Perfect fall weather. Granted, I'm stuck inside with chemistry (my choice), but I love seeing the sun through my three big windows in my room. It makes me want to go carve pumpkins, or go to a farm for apple picking (or something along that nature, lol. you know what I mean). I just want to be outside in sweaters going on a hayride. What are some of your favorite fall activities? Whatever they are, do them while the sun is still prominent. Fall only lasts for so long, so let's make the most of it :)
Back to my inorganic chemistry land. My first exam for that class is this Friday... wish me luck! It's going to be a lot of work to prepare for it. Love you, bloggies. Have a perfect day, and go feel empowered!
