—How Will I Know (Acappella)
Whitney Houston’s isolated vocal track on “How Will I Know.”
Oh this brings tears to my eyes all over again. I literally listened to Whitney Houston almost every single day, and it will be a while before it really sinks in that such an icon is gone.
This is pretty much where my heart is today.
Do you ever wonder if people know the full affect they have on you? There are some people that are capable of moving me so deeply. Sometimes telling a person this can be scary because you don’t want to freak them out or make them feel uncomfortable, but I just always wonder …
Missing a certain someone <3
So, after my relationship being off face book for all of ten minutes, I get a message from a guy I went to middle school with that went a little something like this:
Hey Nikki, Now that you are single, Want to go on a date with me sometime?
A few problems: My name is spelled wrong (pet peeve). I haven’t seen him since 8th grade. I haven’t even thought about him since 8th grade.
… and then we have this conversation:
Middle School Acquaintance: I hope you’re feeling better though. And plus, there is not much to expect with me anyways.
Me: thanks. expect?
MSA: You’re welcome.
Yehah.

I’ve never been one for resolutions but when I read this I was inspired:
My resolution this year is to love those that I don’t like. It’s so easy to show love and compassion and respect to the people that show me all of it in return, or even part of it; but there’s a group of people that are easy to dismiss. Those who don’t like me or they treat me poorly or people that for whatever reason I just don’t take easily to … I want to love and accept them. I don’t want to avoid someone because they don’t agree with my belief system or they just plain think everything about me is wrong. Showing them love is the best response I could give. It’s the only one worth giving.
So, that’s my resolution…
oh, And to get into a size 4 ;)
Song of the day.
