It's true what they say: "Spend time with those who make you forget to look at your phone"

I recently deleted my Snapchat, and currently in the thought process of doing the same with Instagram. There's so much more to life than showcasing to others what I'm doing and capturing moments through a lens. Why can't we just simply embrace these moments as they happen?

Doing so has allowed me to spend more time being present rather than constantly wondering and viewing what everyone else is up to. I find it to be a good thing after this break-up. I'm working on being comfortable alone again, and it helps not to see what he or our mutual friends are doing. For now, I need to invest as well as focus time on myself. Baby steps, am I right?

Long time no see.

I'm going to start blogging on here again. As outdated as it may seem, writing has definitely gotten me through some of my most difficult times. I've always found it to be one of the best ways to help me cope, and it also allows me to see my personal growth after overcoming one obstacle after another.

You can't get the relationship you need from someone who's not ready to give it to you. And I know it's hard when your heart has labeled that someone you can spend forever with.

"Thanks for being for me" 

Cultivate your circle and only let certain people in.

You can be open, honest and real while still understanding that not everyone deserves a seat at the table of your life.

"Excellence is never an accident. It is the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction, skillful execution, and the vision to see obstacles as opportunities"

I deserve the damn world. That is something that I honestly believe. I have such a good heart, and I deserve someone that knows exactly what they have when they have it and not when it's already gone.

It doesn't take all day to recognize sunshine. I know my worth, it's disappointing that you didn't see it until I decided to walk away. 

I feel like you had some big life change. Everytime you say something it starts with "I used to"

I've done a lot of maturing over the years, and it's always interesting to see just how far I've come.
