How do you tell someone that they mean the world to you?

How do you tell someone that they mean the world to you? So much that their decisions and actions and emotions have started seeping over into your life! How do you tell them that you feel everything at 1000% and the emotions they are feeling--to and extent you feel them too. How do you tell them that you stay up all night worrying about them. That you are physically, mentally, and emotionally hurting because they are. That you have a love for them and you're not quite sure what that means exactly but it is there and it's not going away anytime soon. And that you would give anything to be able to make everything go away, to be the one who could make them happy! How to you tell them all of that when you feel like the closer you get the farther they pull away. And for every step you take closer to getting back to the way things were, you find yourself taking two steps in the opposite direction. How do you tell them that you are so frustrated by them at time the only thing you want to do is grab them by the shoulders and shake them till they understand. And then at the same time give them the biggest, hardest, longest hug of their life so they know that no matter what you are there. 

HOW?

What Are You Scared of Today?

FACT: The smartest people that I know are the people who read. FACT: I am nowhere near being 'the smartest person' anyone knows. FACT: I am a work in progress. FACT: I can become so much more than I currently am. FACT: I am on a quest to read as much as I can for a whole year. FACT: This is exponentially harder than it sounds. _________________________________________________________________________________ I was scrolling through Facebook last week and I came across an article that caught my attention. Being on a "quest to read more" I clicked on the article and started to read a column written by a young lady regarding mental health, her experience, and what she longs to say to those 'dear friends' around her who are also struggling. It was a great read and I am glad that I took the time to read it, however there is one question that has stuck in the back of my mind: "What are you scared of today?" As I have continu...

UPDATE

UPDATE: saying yes is hard, sometimes (a lot of times) I choose sleep over clean hair, and these people make my heart oh so happy! As I continue to give fully to my job and to the people in my life, I continue to learn more and more that these humans give me more than I could ever give them.  And that is completely worth it. 

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...
