A Bond Like No Other

"Now if you need me call me no matter where you are no matter how far, don't worry baby. Just call out my name I'll be there in a hurry you don't have to worry"

Some could surely agree that the bond between siblings is like no other. Whether you live in the same house, different houses, different states, and maybe a different country it is a bond that knows no bonds.

Just like the songs meaning behind every word that is used you can call me whenever, no obstacle will get in my way. When you have a brother or sister you will always be there for them. No argument could keep you apart if you really needed one another. Nor could being separated by the biggest ocean keep you from them. I myself have a big sister who lives all the way in London. She is so far away but I know the bond that we have will always keep us together. There is nothing she wouldn't do for me and I for her. We've had our squabbles like all siblings do but that doesn't keep us from being there for one another.

You may think you need to see your brother or sister all the time to have a really strong bond BUT that's not true! The perfect example to that is me. Just recently I found out that I have a little brother that is 5 years old. Not once had I seen him, held him, played with him, nothing! From the first time that I did heard his voice, just even his name, I felt that connection that bond. I knew there was nothing that I wouldn't do for him. I knew that instantly he became a part of my world. And the bond became even stronger because he was my little brother. Just the idea of being able to be there for him and being a big sister made me want to climb any mountain and swim the deepest oceans, if it meant I could be there for him.

Being a brother or sister, half, or even adopted doesn't make a difference. But being there for one another through the good times and the bad is what makes siblings are there for you. We're their to play jokes on you, tell on you, stand up for you, and just plain love you. Age doesn't matter when it comes to the bonds between brothers and sisters. They could be 40 and 35 or 4 and 2 or even 1 and a few months old a bond can be strong at any age.

I've come to realize when mommy and daddy aren't getting along, seeing eye to eye, and even arguing your sibling will always be the shoulder for you to lean on. If your parents go their separate way, no matter what you should and always will have that bond with your brother or sister. My sister lives all the way in London, our little brother lives all the way in the Bahamas, and our dad is in heaven watching down on us, the bond we have will always be unbreakable.

New Direction

[951pm] its been a really long time since i have last written a blog. there are so many things that i'd like to write about but i just don't know where to begin. the other day my boyfriend gave me a good suggestion on a new way to take this blog. its no secret to anyone that is close to me that i love to take pictures of myself lol and a lot of other things as well. with the hundreds upon hundreds of pictures that i do take behind each one is a story and even a memory whether good or bad. it might not be every day that i take a picture and it might not be all the time that i take trips to great places. if its a picture of me sitting on my stoop or the most beautiful scenery in central park there's a story i could tell. don't get me wrong i do enjoy writing about my personal life and stories but its about time to switch it up. i probably don't have a lot of readers but in time i definitely will the best thing you will read. i would love for it to come to the point where someone will email me, put a comment on my blog page or even message me on facebook something that they think is a good topic. i love to write and i want to continue to do what makes me happy. if you do decide to email me you can do it at jacqssthoughts@yahoo.com i would love some suggestions! also go check out my old blogs. as they say on yo gabba gabba "try it you'll like it" =)

Friends

[832am] "as we age up, we realize that it's not important to have friends, what's important is to have real ones" - Vea Mariz

how many friends have you had? i know i have had dozens upon dozens of friends but out of all those friends only a few of them have been a real friend to me. a lot people pride themselves on saying they have thousands of friends on facebook but how many of them are really there for you?

what makes someone a real friend? a real friend will always be honest with you no matter if it hurts your feelings. a real friend will pull you out of your darkest moments. when you have a real friend it doesn't mean you have to constantly see eachother or even speak on the phone. having a real friend means that you know if you ever need them they will always be there. i know if i ever needed something so bad my friend would help me in any way she can. its nice to have friends, people you can hang with sometimes but there's nothing like having a real friend. a real friend knows your deepest dark secrets and fears and they won't judge you or tell the world. when you have a real friend they are no longer considered to be a friend they become your sister or your brother, they become family. and we all know family comes first. i could go on and on about the definition of a real friend but all i can say is having a real friend is one of the best parts in my life.

We Are Forever Young

[625pm] "So let's just stay in the moment, smoke some weed drink some wine. Reminsce, talk some shit, forever young is in your mind. Leave a mark that can't erase neither space nor time. So when the director yells "cut," I'll be fine, I'm forever young."

do you really want to live forever, be forever young? we were not promised to live forever someday we will all take that journey to the stars. we can sit back and laugh about the days when we were young. when life was really just about having fun. talking about the things we once did as kids or even teenagers takes us back to those moments in time when we were "young." we may laugh, hey we may even cry because those memories were so amazing and at the fact that we really aren't so young anymore. some of us have families and we even have degrees but because we have these things does that mean we can be young anymore or even forever young? OF COURSE NOT!

we can all be forever young and i know i plan to be. i'm not just going to live life, i'm going to enjoy life and make something out of my life. millions upon millions of people live their lives day to day but when they go the stars they are forgotten. we all fear what is to come and that is to be forgotten. change that! find that cure for cancer, build on your dreams, do what makes you happy, do what can even make you a legend. we may not be meant to walk to world forever but our names can live on forever and be forever young. dr.jacqueline jacobs newton(lol) will be forever in the minds abd hearts of people because i plan on making myself forever young, forever a legend. while doing this i will still enjoy my life and build memories to sit and reminsce about. the journey may not be easy but i will do anything to be "forever young."

"Bye-byes are not for legends, I'm forever young, my name shall survive."

that day will come

[759pm] there will come a day when we will bump into each other. there will maybe even come a day when we can be cordial to one another. and maybe not you but i do look forward to those days. the days when i know that drama no longer exists. the days that i know that all bad has been put behind us. at some point we were OK and then it became a bitter battle between what you could call mortal enemies. i don't want to be best friends because i already have one of those as do so many other people out there. but what i do want is for everyone to be adults. no matter what age I'm sure we've considered ourselves to be quite grown but not this is for real. lives hang in the balance! i love my life and I'm sure you love yours but its not about us. to many times with anything I've gone through my temptation almost wins me over. to many times i written messages and deleted them because i know they would go unanswered. now no one can look at me as twisted or whatever word suits them best. because if they only knew the real situation they would understand my inner pain. the pain i felt for myself has diminished the pain i have now is for the ones i love the most. the ones who deserve to be a part of someone else so special.

hate hate hate hate hate is all i could think but now all i can do is hope hope hope hope that things will change for the better. maybe you will reach out and say let it end because so much is being missed. we can't be mortal enemies if i extend my ears to listen, my mind to understand, my heart to feel, and my hand to welcome you in. there are other people besides me who feel the same. I'm always a message away and so are they. whatever bad blood there is i remember once being told by someone and hopefully the words are right but "don't let whatever problems we have affect ... being that I'm with him...." we've all said things to people but can we take our own advice. its hard and I'll admit it sometimes i won't even take my own advice.

in ending be wise people about the decisions you make. they don't just affect you they also affect the ones you love and the ones you use to love.

Happy Valentine's Day

[1052] hugs and kisses. cards and chocolate. dinner and roses. this day is filled with love, love, love, and more love. tons of people make sure they get their significant other, friend, or even family member something nice to show them they are loved. there are over 2 billion cards sent out worldwide on this day alone, AMAZING!

anytime v-day is mentioned everyone says its a holiday made by hallmark. in fact this day was named after Saint Valentine (who was originally a priest) he lived during third century Rome. has anyone else besides myself realized most holidays are named after dead people, hmmm! any who. around the time of Saint Valentine Claudius II ruled Rome and he was trying to recruit young men into his army. he realized no one was joining because they didn't want to leave their families and wives. so he declared that all marriages were to be banned, thinking if they had no wives or families to love and worry about they would join. and of course that didn't work!

being a priest and a man of God Saint Valentine knew this was wrong. he secretly married people in the basement of his church. of course there was a sad ending to this, dude has a day named after him. so he was caught and sentenced to DEATH! while in jail he was befriended by the jailer's daughter, she was his only comfort before death. before his brutal beating and hanging it was said that he wrote the jailer's daughter a letter. the ending to the letter read "from your valentine." hence the beginning of something so big. February 14, 270 A.D. marks the death of Valentine and he was declared a Saint in 498 A.D.

he is said to be the most popular Saint of saints. he was kind, courageous, heroic, and romantic. not many will die for the name of love. valentine's day isn't just a day to say i love you, its a day of history. there are so many holidays with a full history and to be aware of such things opens your mind.

so HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY to everyone and remember Saint Valentine not just for giving us a holiday filled with candy and cards which is especially enjoyed by woman but for standing up for what he believed in, LOVE!

And Still......

[1039pm] " Still feels like the first time we met that I kissed and I told you I love you, we still run around like teenagers even though we're grown and married with kids, and we still talk on the phone for hours when I'm away and he still writes letters and sends me flowers every other day, the question everybody asks is how we make it last I tell them I still, he still, we still......" Tamia

At the beginning of almost every young relationship its filled with jonesing on the phone till the sun comes up and or going to the movies all the time. There are of course the few love letters or notes here and there. But with all that comes the stupid arguments and even the cursing and screaming. Sad to say some relationships don't make it past the first few arguments. Young love is very sensitive but if that love perseveres that love grows and stays strong.

For almost the past 5 years my relationship has grown dramatically. Were not those young teenagers in high school anymore but we've built a family. In my relationship as in any you should always stay true to who you were from the beginning. I love how I can breathe on the phone with him for hours when were not around each other. Being able to play fight and laugh about it keeps us young (even though we are far from old).

No matter how long we stay together, which I know will be FOREVER he's still the man of my dreams. As corny as this may sound, although its become routine to waking up to him everyday I can't help but smiles are. I don't just smile but my heart smiles because its truly happy. Now we all do know that no relationship does have its arguments and disagreements. No matter how much we might fuss and fight whether it be over the biggest thing ever or the simplest of him not taking the dog out, "we'll be always there to make up as long as we stick together we'll climb higher, I'm gonna ride with him to the wire, our love is never gonna end we're on fire..."
