Life is a sort of "Cosmic Kindergarten," a classroom designed just for you, and each life-changing moment is a different moment. Every experience -- the good and the bad -- offers an opportunity to learn how to be your best, most authentic self. Perhaps nothing can fully replace what you've lost, but when you open up to the potential lesson, you give your life significance and direction.

And then the sun came up and reality stepped in.

I want to inspire people. I want someone to look at me and say, "Because of you, I didn't give up."

You got that phenomenal

Most honorable

Got me falling domino

Take you home to mama though, you know

I'm ready to forgive most to all from my past and to mend what was disconnected, completely severed, or slightly bruised.

I've had many years to laugh at and reflect upon myself, and maul over things and people that once caused unease.

I'm better.

And ready.

More than before, at least.

I'm glad I met you because my anchors and problems don't feel as heavy or problematic with you by my side.

That's important --
To have somebody who listens, and reminds me that I'm never going through anything alone.

Because, believe me, you can feel alone in a "relationship"

You changed my life.

I really miss you, grandma.

Past friendships

I have flashbacks about past friendships and it kills me to know that I opened up to people who found it so easy to leave me. That's why I'm thankful for the person that I am today. I may be a bitch and my walls may be higher than towers, but I'm okay with that. There are old friends that didn't deserve to know me the way that they did, and I'm never going to let that happen again.

Long time no post

A lot has happened with me.

As much as I've tried to pour my thoughts out, I never seemed to find the right words. Writers block, I guess you could say.

I got all I need when I got you and I

I look around me, and see a sweet life

I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight

You're getting me through the night

Can't stop my heart when you're shining in my eyes

I can't lie, it's a sweet life

Over the years, I have improved my ability to distance from/leave behind the people and situations that make me unhappy or angry, and that makes me pretty proud. And a whole lot happier.

If you let your guard down for one minute, what are you afraid of losing?

It's hard to live in the present when I'm so consumed with thoughts about the future. Who made the future so important when it hasn't even happened yet?

Sometimes the thrill of soaring begins with the fear of falling.

I appreciate you more than you can ever know. Thank you for being patient when I am nothing but impatient. Thank you for staying calm whenever I stress about every single little thing that goes wrong. Thank you for always thinking of me and doing what you think is best for me, despite if I disagree or not. Thank you for constantly pushing me to succeed, even when I have lost all motivation in myself. Thank you for making me thrive to be a better person, because I want to be the best I can be for you. Thank you for your never ending support. I can never thank you enough for taking such amazing care of me. Though I feel that I could never compare, you still provide a love that knows no bounds, and I am incredibly blessed to call you mine.

Some things are more than what you say. It's what you do.

Drowning in my own bed.

"I honestly believe that I was brought into your life to break down your walls."
