Using REALNESS to meet your girlfriend online. The puzzle theory... I met Kait online. Though we discovered we went to the same high school and hung around some of the same circles, I met Kait on a website. Not the website you might think, either... I met Kait on Goodreads.com. Ya see, I had just published my first novel, and needed some reviews. Connecting goodreads and facebook, I found kait through friends of friends. She was a generous rater, and I saw she liked young adult books. I figured she'd at least give me 4 stars. I messaged her, asking her to read my book and shipped her a free, signed copy of Hang-Ups and Hangovers. The thing is, I sent that book to a lot of people. Some people told me they loved it. Some people, HATED IT, and/or would not finish reading it. It's not for everyone. Hang-Ups is raw, gritty, and sometimes uncomfortable. But it's unapologetically REAL. Reading my work, Kait knew my flaws from the start. And they drew us together. The same flaws some readers hated. I think everyone should aim for that standard in a partner, boyfriend, girlfriend, or whatever. I wish that for everyone. A person who wants you to be your best self, but fully accepts you, warts and all. So be real. Don't hide your flaws. Don't try to "fit in." Be unapologetically you. Because people are like puzzle pieces. Your jagged edges only mesh with other certain, specific pieces. You aren't meant to fit with every puzzle-piece in the box. But if you mask your edges, hide them, smooth them over for appearances or whatever, you can't connect with pieces you actually fit with. And you'll be with someone who is always trying to change your edges into something they're not. Kait has never once suggested I be anything different from the person I've always been. She's never shamed me for my decisions or tried to censor me as I write and share more and more. She's always accepted all of me. And it's because she's known my authentic jagged edges from the very start, and they meshed with hers. @kaitlin_bridget (at Greenville, North Carolina)

Blind Faith. Seems like the theme of life, the standard, since I walked out of my job Feb 16, 2016. Not just blind faith that things will work out, but also blind faith that I'm the kind of person that makes things work out. I want to be successful with writing, and imposter syndrome lurks around every corner. My throat seals shut all day until I have a couple drinks, and lately I've drank as much as 2012; when I was in public accounting (#ugh). There just isn't any strong data to indicate I will not just be a fucking millennial stereotype. But hey. Fuck it. Gotta have faith. #faith #blindfaith #magichat #goals #dream #ambition #copywriting #copywriter (at City of Greenville)

Sometimes I do iso work. The flex is at the very bottom, targeting the back of your tris. Pushing down with your thumbs. The rest of the motion doesn't really matter. Don't lean over the weight, (there was another dude doing these except it looked like he was benchin the shit) keep your back straight. 3 sets of 15 should do it. The last 5 should HURT. #fitfam #gunshow #arms #tris #chestday (at Fitness Connection)

She can move up to 145lb if you ask me... @kaitlin_bridget #squat #cake #squats #legday #girlswholift (at Fitness Connection)

New PR! 50lbs x 6. What's crazy is how easily it went up. I don't say that to brag, but to point out that I've been doing 45lbs forever. And I could've moved up before today. For whatever reason, I stuck with what was comfortable. What I knew I could do. One day I'd like to pick up 55lbs. It may be soon, but perhaps if I had pushed my limits sooner I'd already be there... #train #lift #gymrat #gymlife #fitfam #fitness #PR (at Fitness Connection)

Squats- 335lbs x 6 The ideation process (coming up with new ideas) by James Webb Young only has 4 steps: 1. Gathering raw material (read/watch content) 2. Digesting the material 3. Unconscious processing 4. Eureka moment Step 3 is the most interesting to me... Step 2 is normal enough; think about info you read or saw. But step 3 says to stop thinking so your brain can process the info, and then an idea will miraculously appear in step 4. Doesn't seem to make sense but it works. It's funny how our brain, like our hearts, can work independently of our consciousness. Because we THINK so much we believe that it doesn't. But it does. Next time you feel like you've rammed your head against a problem 100 times and can't figure it out, maybe your problem is you have skipped step 3. You haven't given your brain a chance to do its thing. Go for a walk. Draw a picture. Play some guitar. Forget the problem. And you'll be surprised that right when you think you've forgotten about it and you roll over in bed, or your watching beads of water trickle off your hands in the shower, the most brilliant idea will smack you right in the face. #fitfam #idea #fitness #squats #legday (at Fitness Connection)

Still #grinding. Sometimes I wonder how many times I can post myself doing the same handful of compound workouts. And wonder if it would be "off topic" to post more about what I do the other 22.5 hours of the day... (at Fitness Connection)

Was my lightest right before Memorial weekend but still putting up just as much weight! Hit the reset button (sort of) after a long #vacation weekend and going to start another cut for July 4. #july4 #fitfam #fitness #beachready (at Fitness Connection)

Game. When being #fit isn't enough, because, really, it isn't. There are plenty of strong dudes with NO GAME. Plenty of ripped dudes dating girls who don't match their lifestyle. Right now I have 6 playlists with over 50 videos on YouTube to help you out. Check 'em out. #game #dating #datenight #datingtips #datingadvice (at Starbucks)

Today is supposed to be #cheatday but I have a #fishing trip this Saturday. I know I'm going to be getting into trouble with my..."discipline." So I'll chug black coffee and try to stay strong another 48 hours... #longweek #hungry (at Starbucks)

We all got where we are, starting where we were. Don't compare to the guy in front of or behind you. Just make sure you give an effort every single day and you'll get where you're headed. #fitfam #gymlife #gym #gymrat #bouldershoulders #shoulderday #shoulder #press #overheadpress #work #grind #hustle (at Fitness Connection)
