Trying Something New

There is just something therapeutic about writing down your thoughts and feelings. And it doesn't even matter if anyone else reads them, that's not what is important, although I often think about what it would be like to have my words mean something to someone else, to last the tests of times and affect, encourage, and strengthen generations to come. But the simple act of writing them down so that you have them in front of your face and you can read them back over and over again is special to say the least. It immortalizes the joyous feelings and heals the hurt, allowing you to look back at your growth and smile. And so that is exactly what this is. It is me writing down my random thoughts and feelings. It's me sharing my adventures and struggles and triumphs. And it is me figuring out who I am and how to be just that in this crazy world. It is me trying something new. Well I simply adore quotes and song lyrics and how they always seem to say what I want to in ways I never could, and so I will leave with a quote from one of my very best friends...she said to "Treat every day like the start of a new year. Consistently turn your judging eye away from those around you and look deep within yourself. Are you living up to your potential? Every waking moment is a time that could be used to grow and become what you want. Don't waste it." and this is exactly what I plan to do.

Why I Drove to Washington By Myself

Okay first things first....I went to WA to see my friend Liz. Look how cute she is! She got a grown up job and moved to the *cutest* little town in WA and I miss her, so I took a few days for myself and went on a trip to see her. Secondly, I want it to be known that I DID invite a friend to come with me. I have a good friend who I would have loved to have join me on the trip, but when he couldn't come I was sad but didn't bat an eye. Here are the reasons that I invited him: He is excellent company. He has a great taste in music. He is friends with Liz as well. I thought it would be fun if he came. The end that is all. I didn't invite him to make the trip cheaper, to help drive, or to make me feel safer. It would have been fun if he could have come, but either way I was going to go. I drove to Washington by myself because I could. Because I am saying YES. Because I am done waiting for "someday".  Someday when I have more money, or

Every Day Is A Battle

Every day is a battle. Some days I win and some days I lay my head down at night and think "I will try again tomorrow." Life is hard and it was meant to be that way. But even with that knowledge and understanding it is still sometimes a struggle to get through. I am at the point where everything is bothering me. And it is little stupid things and the worst part is that in the back of my head I know that I am being ridiculous. I know that I am over reacting and that I should not be so irritated by these things. But I am. I am bothered by stupid little things. And I don't really know what to do to make that go away. I don't want to push away these people in my life because they are good people. But at the same time I get so angry when I am there and I just cant figure it out. School is crazy right now, and I just started working again, which is great but also rough because that is one more thing I need to worry about. I have a great group of friends that I love spending
