Remember when Christmas was Christmas...

...Filled with Christmas Carols, holiday movies and all around happiness? Yea, me too but unfortunately I think we have all gotten so unbelievably greedy, and the worst part is that no one seems to notice, or maybe we do notice but just don't care. I know its a few days post Christmas but I have a story that I just have to share.

I work in a retail store to pay my way through college, anyway this woman comes to the return line and says "I can't believe these gifts! My daughter gave a list of all the things that she wanted and they give her this garbage. It's disgraceful!" It was then that I had a 'I want to slap this bitch' moment. Her comment was unbelievable! I wanted to tell her 'I think YOUR disgraceful lady!' Have we really gotten this bad as a society? The reality is no one had to give her daughter anything for Christmas because it is HER daughter not theirs. The fact is that her family or friends took time (even if just for a second) to think about her daughter and to me that is very special.

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and that no one is as DISGRACEFUL as this one woman was. :)

What to say what to say? This is kind of exciting for me my 1st blog!! I've been writing in journals for years however, time has been a real barrier to me getting my thoughts down. I figured since I'm at the computer for most of the day anyway why not!! I think this is more private anyway. I think I know what your thinking "how the heck (or some othe expletive of your choosing) could anyone consider the internet more private than real life?!" but think about it, no one can just happen to "pick up" your blog post like they can with a journal. I'm anonymous as I want to be and I really like that type of freedom.

Okay so the name of the blog is TrueLoveWaits. I'm not really sure why I chose that name but the philosophy behind it is something that I really believe in. TLW is more than just a love relationship, I like to think that it can be applied to other life events as well such as finding that perfect career or trying to have a child for the first time. In a nutshell TLW means never settling, never quitting and never losing hope.

This blog is about more than sharing my dreams (which I have alot of) and fears (I have plenty of those too) on love and life but about sharing the happenings of the world as well. I hope you share some with me :) Well...until next time just remember "everybody can tell you about me...but I can tell you the truth..."
