Even Disney movies, as cheesy as they can be, have a story. Listen and find it and it’s as good as any good book or advice from a wise old man. All these princesses faced their fears to find love.

got closure from my unofficial ex tonight. i feel so light right now. to think i thought i was falling in love with this person in february, and now i can sit across from him, talk life, politics, and love with him, without feeling saddened that we didn’t end up together. 

i’m really proud of myself. i feel like i behaved in a way that i’ve always imagined a healthy adult should behave. and i’m proud of him too, like he was hella civil and wished me well in my new relationship. no anger, no resentment, no name calling, just a mutual acceptance that we had mattered to eachother, and that we care enough about eachother to wish the other happiness.

all the hurt and confusion just melted away. the fear that i missed out on him is gone. this feels fucking beautiful.

So I am doing art for this video game(characters back ground yada yada) I have put it off all week because drawing guys intimidates the fuck outta me. but, I just used Rick Genest as my figure form for character two(no the character will not be tatted up). All I can think is why? Why did it take me this long to draw guys. I'm so fucking proud of myself and thankful that Ethan made that 'caling all artists' post.  :) ...challenges man.

Conquering Fears

Happy Friday All!

I actually did something today that I have been so afraid to do - Run on a treadmill! I know some of yall are thinking, 'That's it!?!? No bungee jumping or skydiving?'

Nope, just running on the treadmill. After seeing countless horrifying and funny videos of folks losing control and falling off them into walls, I have been dead set on not adding to the list. But today I decided to give it a go in order to ramp up my fitness efforts. Initially I just planned to spend about 5 minutes on there and that 5 surprisingly turned into 20 minutes.

(patting myself on the back)

Next time it will be 30!

What are your fitness fears? Have you been able to conquer any?

So oddly proud of myself today.

I was on the tram on the way to the bank and a little girl decided to throw up absolutely everywhere. Including on my boots.

Anyone that knows me knows that I have/had a ridiculous fear of sick in public places but I just sort of looked away from it, didn't breathe through my nose and, as soon as I got off, wiped my boots on some grass.

I felt pretty bad that I didn't help the little girl and whoever it was with her but given that I didn't throw up myself, I feel it was a pretty big achievement ^_^ 

Fear (sort of) conquered!

Fear #2 that I confronted...

You know those dressed up characters that you see at theme parks like Disney? Well, for some unknown reason I have been deadly afraid of them for as long as I can remember. One time, I thought I saw a Dennis The Menace character so legged it out of the area as fast as I could, scaring my mum and everyone with us! I could spot one of those bad boys in the most crowded place.

However, as I've grown up, I haven't been to many theme parks so kind of just forgot my fear and now whenever I see one, I do not attempt to run away, I just walk past it!

Fear = CONFRONTED!
