Today I woke up still in love with you.

[flowers-and-grace]

“I think I am in love with you, I hope that is okay” “Tell me again when you don’t need to add the ‘I think’ first” “I love you”

this is perfection.

Two Kinds of Memory

Catching moments like butterflies.

second time around.

it’s been “one of those days” for several years

[flowers-and-grace]

third time belonging... maybe it will end soon.

Do you think I can have one more kiss? I’ll find closure on your lips and then I’ll go. Maybe, also one more breakfast, one more lunch and one more dinner. I’ll be full and happy and we can part. But in between meals, maybe we can lie in bed one more time. One more prolonged moment where time suspends indefinitely as I rest my head on your chest. My hope, is if we add up the one mores it will equal a lifetime and I never have to get to the part where I have to let you go. But that’s not real, is it? There are no more, one mores. I met you when everything was new and exiting and the possibilities of the world seemed endless. And they still are, for you, for me, but not for us. Somewhere between then and now, here and there, I guess we didn’t just grow apart, we grew up. When something breaks, and the pieces are big enough, you can fix it. I guess sometimes things don’t break, they shatter, but when you let the light in, shattered glass will glitter. And in those moments, when the pieces catch the sun, I’ll remember just how beautiful it was. Just how beautiful it will always be, because it was us, and we are magic, forever.

You say that we need to see other people. But shit... I’m not even a person without you.

(but I am learning how to be)

I stroked his hair -

after minutes of silence, he whispered

“I really like you”

“I really like you too”

Dear Future Husband,

I want you to be my strong knight is shining armour.

But, I also want to be my own strong independent woman who doesn’t need a knight. I need to be independent. I have relied too heavily on people on my life in the past. It took me a very long time to learn how to me strong all by myself.

Please let me be strong and independent sometimes (even when you know you could help and make it easier) I need these times to remind myself who I am, and how much strength I have inside myself.

Don’t think I am not loving you. I just know that at times, I need to love myself first.

Love always,

Your future wife.

Dear Future Husband,

I know by this age that we will both have history. That is okay. I want to be able to share my life openly with you, every single inch I have walked and minute that make up my history, that make me who I am toady. 

I want to be able to tell you anything. I want our relationship to be transparent to us, but completely solid and impenetrable to anyone else.

I cannot wait to know who you are. I cannot wait to share my history with you and hear about yours. I cannot wait....

Love always and forever, Your future wife.

Today your face popped into my head for the first time in a very long while. And then I realized I could still breath and that familiar pain in my chest, it never came.

Today I became a teacher.

Despite having been teaching for the last 3 years, today I feel like I have officially become a teacher. Teaching goes beyond just making sure your students know the syllabus... it’s making sure they know themselves, are happy, are safe and have a voice.

Today one of my Year 6 students had his voice taken away from him. He was punished for something he didn’t do and no one believed or even bothered to listen to him. Except me. I heard him, I listened, I believed.

I went up against my principal to fight for him, to stand up for him, to make sure HE was HEARD!

Acting like you don’t care is not letting it go.

I want an arrow tattoo because of the quote: An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward. So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means it’s going to launch you into something great. So just focus, and keep aiming

[flowers-and-grace]

I have this tattoo now.
