I always come to this place to spill my thoughts. No one may read it but it feels good to get it off my chest.

I find myself in the most incredible place in my life while equally being in one of the most difficult mentally. Not that it’s unmanageable nor is there a cloud hanging over my head. Nothing like that. It is that place in my life where I choose to create my own untraveled path to create my happy existence on this planet. Sometimes taking the road less traveled ends up with a staggering feeling similar to loneliness, only, I am not lonely. My heart is full of love and support of those people whom I hold dear, which there are very few, as my full heart is guarded more and more these days. Choosing this lifestyle of creating something that is mine, something that can continue to flourish for years to come and create stability for myself and the hypothetical family I may have one day. Not only does it come from my desire to be financially stable, it burns from my desire to experience the world as fully as I possibly can. I come from a family where traveling and vacations were not a thing. We did not have those kind of memories. I yearn for that. I crave a life where I can explore the world as God created it in all of its majesty. I want to be submersed with new culture and adventures, constantly. I want the book I’m writing to have depth behind it.. not just coming from someone who has experienced more heartbreak than one should by 28 years old.

Oh heartbreak.. why must you be so cruel and ever lingering? I could write and write and write about this subject.. but why give it continuous life? All I will say is, I am careful when choosing my relationships and if something does not work out after giving it a chance, I decide for myself to let something go that is not right for me… & by let something go I mean indulge in a weekend of Sex and the City marathons, eat Ben & Jerry’s ice-cream and pizza in bed while crying at nodding in agreement with everything Carrie Bradshaw is saying about men and their ways. But not this one… it’s been 9 years since we met and I’m still as crazy about him as I was the moment we met. Timing has never been in our favor, but as the years go on, neither of us has fully moved on and conversations have taken place between us as recent as today… but now, geography isn’t in our favor and I am terrified that time is going to continue to get away from us if something drastic doesn’t happen.. but what? This is not some fucking romance novel where he’s going to magically appear at my door stop with flowers in his hand in the rain while I dramatically fling the door open and jump into his arms & we live happily ever after. WRONG. It is real life and I ca not imagine feeling so intensely for someone for 9 years to only have it constantly be on my mind and nothing ever coming of it. I can not imagine that he not my guy.. I can just feel it in my bones. I do not want to fall in love with the wrong person and end up like my parents. That hurts too much. Despite the fact that I have not a single functioning relationship model in my family, I still believe in that all consuming love that two people can have for one another. I still believe that two people can fall in love, build a life founded on the word of God, have a family, create happy memories together, support each other, lift each other up, respect one another, remain faithful to one another and spend forever in love. That is what I want. So what if it’s him? What if it’s not? Craving something so delightfully magnificent, wanting to experience that kind of unconditional love so bad that it shatters my soul a bit every time I think of it. It is a beautiful heartbreak… you know?

So I refer back to my original thought of creating my own path. They say it is lonely when you are at the top and while I am not at the top, I surely am in a different bracket than the rest of them. I stand tall and proud in every decision that I have made to get me here. While I am remaining slightly vague with all of the aforementioned, just remember this; While I have been busy working in diligent silence, something beautifully me has been created. No public announcements need to be made, just know you will be seeing be soon. You meaning all of you who chose to leave me and not love & support me unconditionally. All of you who I supported and was there for and the second you had a chance to tear me down, give your two cents, and passive aggressively insult me. You did not break me then and you will not break me now. While some of the wounds are still wide open, the pain only fuels my fire so thank you all for being part of come up.

Your fuel has been greatly appreciated.

Love hard. Be kind. Chase your dreams relentlessly. Make shit happen. Be true to you.

When I write, I usually just let the words flow with no idea of whats thoughts the clicking of keys underneath my fingers will tell the story of… clearly, you are on my mind. Of all of the exciting things happening in life that I could talk about, you are what comes to mind.

So here it goes…

I had a whole different blog typed up pouring my heart about him [more like to him]…but I deleted it. Nothing can accurately tell the story of how I feel more than the lyrics of the song posted below. They are exactly, word for word, how I feel. All the way down to the last line. [If anyone reading this even cares] to truly understand where my heart is, listen to it.

I don’t fall for guys easily at all, but there was something about you that drove me crazy. It was just there. I felt every single bit of it. You were all I was looking at. You were my best friend. Even admitting that is not easy, but it’s the truth, so I am saying it… But, time passes and things change.

[And I’m left to pick my heart up off the floor and keep on moving forward.]
Q: So what’s the point of this passive aggressive entry?
A:  Merely, a twenty something attempting to pour her heart to a guy who mattered to her. Listen to the song and you’ll understand everything.

“We’d talk maybe 20 times a day
And still I never say what I want to say
I thought I wouldn’t need to
I guess I read you wrong…
Too much of a good thing won’t be good for long“

There is something incredible about squiggles and lines meandering into such symmetry, syncing one’s thoughts and visions, and creating such beautiful bodies of work. Letters, words, sentences, books, theories, all bound together in unison in an attempt to compile great stories and create places that only exist only in literature and your imagination. You can push the pre-prescribed bounds of culturally excepted thinking and create any type of world you would like to live in. Writing is my personal therapy. Having the freedom to express my true deep emotions on paper, or a cyber medium, is thoroughly cleansing and highly invigorating. Hearing the keys clicking underneath my fingers with every letter I write is my equivalent to a cigarette fiend fulfilling their craving for a stick of tobacco. I have to write… I just have to have it.

So what is the point of this entry? Merely, just emptying words that were floating about in my head and I believe I did just that. So now I leave you with some Brandon Boyd, in hopes that maybe your night is as inspired as mine. 🙂

Have a good night readers/bloggers.

What habits are you repeating daily that keep you stuck in a rut? What can you do to improve your quality of life? Positive change won’t happen from sitting on the couch wishing things would be different. Not only must you speak your actions, but you must actually act on them. I keep the phrase, “You have to push yourself” scribbled all over the place. It is just a constant reminder that my dreams are in my own hands and no one is going to make them happen other than myself. Today I challenge you to alter a reoccurring bad habit and turn it into a good one. Push yourself to workout for 20 minutes extra today. Drink less soda and replace it with water. Opt for a healthy salad instead of fast food for lunch. Choose today to be the day that you turn your life around… and remember, nothing changes if nothing changes!

Day [8]: A daily must-have item.

I swear by this stuff. Not only is it light weight & smooth, but it’s packed with vitamins for your skin! I use it every single day on my face. It makes your make-up appear much smoother & very natural instead of looking dry and caked on. The vitamin e aids in reduction of uneven spots and blemishes. Without a doubt, I can not live without this moisturizer. Haha.

Day [7]: Clothing that evokes a good memory.

There is really NOTHING I miss about high school, however, I really loved my prom dress and I wish I could wear it again! Haha. The theme was a Masquerade Ball and I instantly fell in love with my dress. It’s so big that it takes up most of my closet when I take it out of the garment bag and I completely adore it. It most definitely brings back great memories of preparing for that day, getting all glammed-up and enjoying my night with date!

Day [5]: Best Bargain Buy

I love a great satchel. You want to know what I love more than a great satchel?One that I found at a thrift store for $3, that’s what. 🙂 The leather is perfectly distressed, it’s worn in just the right spots, and it’s the perfect size to house everything I tote around! I would say this is most definitely my best bargain buy of the moment.
