Having someone there during hard times.

Hello everyone, its been a while since I posted. I just wanted to share with you what happened to me this past weekend on Saturday.

So this Saturday. My family and I went to my uncle Joseph's funeral. This was a hard time for not only my family, but me too. I can't explain enough how thankful I am to have had the love of my life there. With him being there, I felt at ease and not as sad. It is really important to be with someone that makes you feel safe and at ease, and that also takes the pain away.

After the funeral, we went to the repast, and it was fulfilling to see my love meet majority of all my family. Considering the circumstances, I was happy he got to meet them.

So all I want to say is, if you have someone who is there for you during hard times, and turmoil. Someone who makes you happy even when you thought everything was finished. Cherish and love that person as much as they love you, because I guarantee that finding another will be finding a needle in a haystack.

Dating a Latino man

Hello everyone, happy Monday to you all. It is a snowy day here in Chicago. I hope wherever you are its warm and sunny.
My thoughts on dating a Latino man is not really any much different than other men I've dated, except language barrier and food. Dating a man that's a different race than myself is really fun. I get to learn about his culture,as he also gets to learn about mine. I get to learn a different language also.
I think the best thing about being with a Latino man is, for me personally I find them really loving and caring, hardworking, loves to dance and have a good time. I also love how our families are not that much different. We can relate in so many ways. Yes everyone will have their opinions about dating a different race, but this is mine.

Thanks to all who read. I hope you enjoy my blog and continue to read. XOXO

Being in an Interracial Relationship

Being in an interracial relationship for me personally is great because I get to explore and find out new thing that I never knew about. My boyfriend Mike and I have been together almost a year now, and everyday we learn something new about each other. There is a lot of great things about being in an interracial relationship, and then there is the not so great things. When Michael and I first started dating, I could sense within my family that certain people were jealous or they gave me looks of uncertainty. This made me feel really sad, and disappointed because, I thought of how my mom felt when she married my dad who is white. I thought of how closed minded people can be, even your own family members. Even with random people we pass by on the street, they also look at us confused or with the expression of "why are they together"? It really becomes tiresome and irritating. What I find out is, that mostly older people will have these expressions and reactions. In my head, I'm thinking this is 2015 why is there even a hint of racism and prejudice in the world, and then I remember it's not the world it's the people who live in the world, the ones who are still stuck in the past, either it's black or white, no grey area.

Through all the hate, and disapproval I do not let interfere with who I am in love with and will marry in the future. If I worried about what other think and do, I would be in the nut house. So I say love who you love, and to hell with the ones who don't like it, because at the end of the day, your happiness is all that matter, and shouldn't let anyone stop you from that.
