Fight for this love... ♥♥

I usually wouldn’t update this soon after I just posted something yesterday in the wee hours of the morning, but I am LOVING Cheryl Cole’s first solo single, called “Fight for this love”. It’s beautiful. Really. So, you can listen to it right here! And read the lyrics while you’re at it =0)

Love and sweetness,

Too much of anything can make you sick
Even the good can be a curse (curse)
Makes it hard to know which road to go down
Knowing too much can get you hurt.

Is it better? Is it worse?
Always sitting in reverse
It's just like we're going backwards.

I know where I want this to go
We're driving fast but lets go slow
But I don't want us to crash no.

Just know you're not in this thing alone
There's always a place in me that you can call home
Whenever you feel like we're growing apart
Let's just go back, back, back, back, back to the start.

Anything that's worth having
Is sure enough worth fighting for
Quiting's out of the question
When it gets tough, gotta fight some more.

We gotta fight, fight, fight, fight, fight for this love
We gotta fight, fight, fight, fight, fight for this love
We gotta fight, fight, fight, fight, fight for this love
If it's' worth having, it's worth fighting for (Oh).

Now everyday ain't gon' be no picnic
Love aint no walk in the park
All you can do is make the best of it now
Can't be afraid of the dark.

Just know you're not in this thing alone
There's always a place in me that you can call home
Whenever you feel like we're growing apart
Let's just go back, back, back, back, back to the start.

Anything that's worth having
Is sure enough worth fighting for
Quiting's out of the question
When it gets tough, gotta fight some more.

We gotta fight, fight, fight, fight, fight for this love
We gotta fight, fight, fight, fight, fight for this love
We gotta fight, fight, fight, fight, fight for this love
If it's worth having, it's worth fighting for (Oh).

I don't know where we're heading
I'm willing and ready to go.

We've been driving so fast
We just need to slow down
And just role.

Anything that's worth having
Is sure enough worth fighting for
Quiting's out of the question
When it gets tough, gotta fight some more.

We gotta fight, fight, fight, fight, fight for this love
We gotta fight, fight, fight, fight, fight for this love
We gotta fight, fight, fight, fight, fight for this love
If it's worth having, it's worth fighting for (Oh).

We gotta fight, fight, fight, fight, fight for this love
We gotta fight, fight, fight, fight, fight for this love
We gotta fight, fight, fight, fight, fight for this love
It's worth having, it's worth fighting for (Oh...).

Think PINK!!



So, October is internationally known as Breast Cancer Awareness month. I don’t have any personal experience with the disease, thank God, and I don’t have a family history. But I do know a handful of people that have gone through it and survived it, and they are some of the people I admire most in this world.

Even though *breast* cancer is not in my family, cancer as a whole is. And big time. So I’m always encouraging my family members to get regular checkups of their entire body, just to be sure. I believe that early detection is the key to surviving most diseases, especially cancer. And for some reason, breast cancer feels very close to my heart, it always has. And I openly support Susan G. Komen for the Cure, it’s my favorite charity and I donate whenever I can.

I know I said in my last post that I would be talking about Emmy fashion or something, but seriously, life got in the way and suddenly I had no free time =(. But now I found a few minutes to dedicate to this precious and important cause, and I’d like to take advantage of them.

This is for all those women I know that bravely survived this monster and live proudly to tell their stories, and for those who got overpowered by it and rest their souls up above. This is for all those women that get regular checkups to prevent it, but also for those who don’t or can’t. This is for young girls that think they don’t have a business with breast cancer, wake up! Women as young as 25 years old have been diagnosed, that could be you. BE AWARE! RAISE AWARENESS! IF WE ALL WORK IN THIS TOGETHER, WE CAN BEAT THIS HORRIBLE DISEASE!

I leave you for now with some awareness ads, featuring some big female celebs that were kind enough to lend their faces for this purpose.

Until next time, much love and even more sweetness,
