The Last Time We Say Goodbye 

This book has been my favorite book so far, hands-down!

I love the past two books, but this book had some kind of suspense that made me not want to stop reading. 

The story is mainly about a girl named Lexie, who's brother, Ty, commits suicide. Lexie has this heavy guilt about her brother's death, because she has a text from Ty she never responded to, that maybe could have saved his life. The story is told from her point of view, so you are/will be putting yourself in her shoes. The book transitions from chapters to diary entries. On the chapters itself you get to view her life after her brother's passing and in the diary entries you get to read memories and feelings that go way deeper to when Ty was in her life. 

I can't explain the heartache it brought me to read this book, because things like this happen in real life. It's a book where she explains a love story within a tragedy. She learns how to overcome her brother's passing, that moving on does not mean forgetting. Even if people pass away, the living might still need some kind of closing to move on. This book brought tears to my eyes, I could literally feel the pain, sadness and anger within the words. 

Above all the book's main point of view is that your loved ones will always be with you, whether is in person, in your heart or in memory.

Body Goals! Relationship Goals! Hair Goals! Eye Goals! Butt Goals! Eyebrows Goals! 

Like who knew these topics would be the trending things on our social medias, not me I will tell you that. Sure is fun to post a picture of someone else or a couple and caption it "Goals" with clapping hands and twenty heart-eye-to-die-face emojis. 

But the real question is are these "Body Goals!" "Hair Goals!" "Eye Goals" ETC. taken seriously?

ah yes, of course.

So many girls and boys, get caught up in this goals social media world. They want to be couple goals and butt goals and hair goals and whatever else their is to be goals at, is there something called finishing your homework an hour before the due time and still get a good grade goals, because where do I pick up my trophy.

I'm not saying it is bad to set yourself goals, but it is bad to want to change every part of your body to reach someone else's looks just because they are consider "goals."

I have been asked if I have every set myself any of these goals.

My true answer, yes.

But it was back when I was what eleven years old and I wanted to be like this Hispanic actress who was slim, had a thigh gap and perfect hair. She was my goals and guess what? When I began to give myself the mentality that I wanted my body to look like hers, that is when I began hating myself. 

It is so easy to get sucked into this whole goals world because it is literally everywhere!
A young girl who reads my blog (Hi lovely!) once told me I had eyelash goals... of course I thanked her but then asked, "is there really such thing or is all this goals phase a big excuse to change a part of our body?"

And she responded, "Yes, it can get very crazy at times. I have seen people wear color contacts just to be someone's eye goals."

Look, I am not saying is wrong to have a change in your life, but it is wrong if you are simply doing it to please others or just because you want others to praise you for it.

If you want to change something in your body do it because YOU WANT TO!
Once you stop trying to be, look, dress like someone else or stop trying to change yourself to please and be praised by others, people will realize who you really are.
And they will praise you for being original, for being you.

You should stop trying to be someone else's goals and be your own goals.

To simply have a strong mind, body and soul.

To have inner peace.

To live life to it's full potential.

To be kind.

To be able to show the world how much beauty there is in something called individuality.

We Should Hang Out Sometime

By: Josh Sundquist

(It was a bit of a change to go from the last book I read to this one.)

As people we are all interested in other people's lives, more when it's about a person's love life. When a person begins to talk about old crushes, heartbreaks and old boyfriends, we are all ears, because we get curious. 

This book is about how Josh Sundquist goes on the quest to find out why he hasn't had a real girlfriend. He set his goal to investigate what is wrong with him and why he hasn't been able to have a real relationship rather than a imaginary one. He gives a background story of each girl he was close to having some kind of relationship with, then he reaches out to the girl to ask, "what happened? why didn't they reach that boyfriend and girlfriend status?" 

It's a very humorous book, it has a-lot of character and it reaches a point where you won't be able to put the book down because you are so curious to find out the answer to his investigation. Josh writing makes you feel as if he's your friend telling you his stories rather than you reading it from a book.  

So grab yourself a copy of the book, a snack and enjoy!
