Kindness is strength. Love is beauty. Don’t forget that everybody is fighting either their own battles, or themselves. Do not take advantage of their pain, or your own.

Soon you’ll realize that many people will love the idea of you but will lack the maturity to handle the reality of you.

The worst part

More than anything I miss the smell of a man. Followed by his arms around me at night. Then his kiss. Then the way he made me laugh. Another day down, but I'm still missing you.

When the radio sings to my soul

PINK - "Just Give Me A Reason" (feat. Nate Ruess) Right from the start You were a thief You stole my heart And I your willing victim I let you see the parts of me That weren't all that pretty And with every touch you fixed them Now you've been talking in your sleep, oh, oh Things you never say to me, oh, oh Tell me that you've had enough Of our love, our love Just give me a reason Just a little bit's enough Just a second we're not broken just bent And we can learn to love again It's in the stars It's been written in the scars on our hearts We're not broken just bent And we can learn to love again I'm sorry I don't understand Where all of this is coming from I thought that we were fine (Oh, we had everything) Your head is running wild again My dear we still have everythin' And it's all in your mind (Yeah, but this is happenin') You've been havin' real bad dreams, oh, oh You used to lie so close to me, oh, oh There's nothing more than empty sheets Between our love, our love Oh, our love, our love Just give me a reason Just a little bit's enough Just a second we're not broken just bent And we can learn to love again I never stopped You're still written in the scars on my heart You're not broken just bent And we can learn to love again Oh, tear ducts and rust I'll fix it for us We're collecting dust But our love's enough You're holding it in You're pouring a drink No nothing is as bad as it seems We'll come clean Just give me a reason Just a little bit's enough Just a second we're not broken just bent And we can learn to love again It's in the stars It's been written in the scars on our hearts That we're not broken just bent And we can learn to love again Just give me a reason Just a little bit's enough Just a second we're not broken just bent And we can learn to love again It's in the stars It's been written in the scars on our hearts That we're not broken just bent And we can learn to love again Oh, we can learn to love again Oh, we can learn to love again Oh, oh, that we're not broken just bent And we can learn to love again

Apple Shampoo

When I was a teenager I was obsessed with Blink 182. I would religiously shampoo my hair with apple smelling shampoo because of the song. The Golden Gates Casino’s bathroom smells strongly of that same apple sent, it instantly transports me to kissing boys, sneaking into dives and erasing X’s off my hands.

Baby dreams

I dreamed of my baby girl. I hardly ever remember my dreams and when I go dream even the best ones never come back to me. Not this time, this time I woke up and the dream started over again. An entire night/morning of beautiful baby bliss.

Worst Fear Realized

Its scary when your worst fear is realized but its even scarier when you choose to do nothing about it. I have been pre diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome or PCOS. For months, almost a year even I knew something wasn't right. I was tired, I would change my diet & exercise and see no results and I worried about my fertility. Although my husband and I were not trying it was a year of unprotected, regular sex with no pregnancy. (Some of those fears I have written about in previous posts) To say I wanted to be a mother or that I am currently "baby crazy" is putting it mildly. Finally I went to the doctor, because this year I decided to stop hiding in fear. I was going to find out why these things were happening. I am so greatful for my wonderful doctor at University hospital; she asked me the hard questions, she listened and most importantly she gave me options. She told me she would coach me to take care of my self naturally, through weight loss rather than pills but if that didn't work there are other options we can try to get me ready for baby making next year. But this isn't just about fertility. PCOS also can cause women to become diabetic before they are 40 and according to my blood work I am boarder line pre diabetic. This time my choices in diet and exercise are more than just a smaller jean size. It's a choice for my future child and my health. Major wake up call. I am so greatful I was diagnosed before being diabetic. I am greatful we are not trying to get pregnant yet. I am greatful that I can still tackle PCOS naturally. It won't be easy. Because of PCOS it will be a longer, harder road to get my weight down, but IT IS POSSIBLE. But what's that saying... Things worth while never come easy. Here's to a year of hard work and a major lifestyle change. Hopefully next year I will be writing about a little one growing in my belly.

One Year Ago

One year ago today was my first day as an intern at 5280. I worked my butt off and dreamed big. It was everything I dreamed of. Everything I had worked hard for but I still wasn't "good enough". I learned just how dead being just a photographer was. I had exhausted all options. Now I am grateful for my job in HR. I'm not sure I will ever go back to my dream job, I have found a new dream. It's funny how dreams change, but at least I tried.

Shoes

Would I be jinxing myself if I bought baby shoes for my non existent baby ? I have a fetish for baby shoes.

It’s not just about sex. Don’t get me wrong. Sex is fucking great, but when you have a connection with someone, when you feel so strong for someone, just a kiss is enough to make your knees weak. You just can’t beat that.

Gah. So much this.

All of this. And more gah.

Love isn’t a state of perfect caring. It is an active noun like struggle. To love someone is to strive to accept that person exactly the way he or she is, right here and now.
