All You Need Is Love

What an amazing past few days... Let just start by saying that I had the most amazing Valentine's Day of my life! I had the perfect evening with my man, in which we talked about our relationship and how we felt about each other. It was so liberating to know that he felt how I felt and wanted what I wanted and it's now official! It's such a weight off my shoulders knowing that I can just forget about all the crazy insecure things that run through my brain and just know that he wants to be with me and only me. So I pretty much feel like a million bucks right now!

Let talk about another huge part of my life, which is a little thing people like to call music. The new Hey Rosetta! cd came out yesterday and is filling my world with joy, serenity, tranquility and all the other millions emotions it makes me feel. I find it so amazing how music moves me in so many ways. I can start my day off listening to a certain genre of music and it will set the mood for my day. I can be in a totally horrible mood and then a song will brighten up my day. I can listen to something upbeat, dance around my house and have the time of my life or I can listen to something slow and soothing that will calm and support me as I lay crying to myself to sleep. It brings out so much emotion in me, that certain musicians will bring tears to my eyes while I listen to them pour their hearts out on stage. It's likely that you'll find me crying at a concert that means a lot to me, like when I saw City and Colour and Dallas Green sang one of my favourite songs called as much as I ever could. I love that this is something that I will always cherish and be passionate about for the rest of my life and it will always be there for me when I need it. Its a wonderful feeling knowing that something will always be there for you...

On another note I am very much looking forward to this weekend. I'll be spending my days in the mountains surrounded by fresh air, wonderful friends, beautiful scenery and lets not forget the candy stores. I can't wait to just get away and have a relaxing weekend.

So there it is.. Let's cheers to love, music and life!
Music, once admitted to the soul,
becomes a sort of spirit, and never dies.

In one week...

It'll be Valentine's Day. Lovers will be presenting to each other gifts like flowers and chocolates and I'm sure restaurants will be flooded with couples celebrating the day. Children will hand out their valentines into each others hand made boxes placed on their desks at school, giving out a special valentine to the one kid they have a crush on. Some will celebrate this day with passion and lust while others will be alone because they don't have a significant other to spend the day with. Either way, I hope everyone has a wonderful Valentine's Day! Even if you don't have a special someone to spend the day with, stay positive and just know there is someone out there for everyone. Don't be afraid to express how you feel about someone close to you on this day, it could mean the world to them. I know I can't wait to be with the one man I care about the most in my life right now. So I'll end this post with my favorite love quote of all time and hope that everyone keeps in mind that in reality, we should share our love with friends, family and lovers every day of the week, not just on Valentine's Day! 
I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
So I love you because I know no other way than this:
 where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.
-Pablo Neruda
