Truth or Dare: 3 (on another note, I should probably retire this icon, eh?)

3: (truth) What are your three favorite things about your appearance? (dare) List all nine of your tumblr crushes, and describe each blog/blogger in one word.

Truth: 

1. I love my hair. The color is completely natural and I’ve come to really love the reddish-brownish that I have. 

2. My eyes. It’s silly, but my sister has the prettiest blue eyes and I spent almost my entire adolescence wishing that I’d drawn the blue genes instead of the brownish hazel that I do have, but as I’ve gotten older, I’ve come to really accept and even like the fact that I don’t have eyes as blue as the ocean, but I do have eyes that look like my favorite fall foliage!  

3. Ummmmm. Okay, let’s say my...curves. Again, something that I absolutely detested primarily because I came into them at such an early age, like 4th grade.  Now, even though I could very easily veer into vulgarity with like my clothing choices, I make sure that I try and present my best self. 

(On another note: If you like your Cruella, keep it! :D I love that you love her so much and if your icon makes you happy, run with it! :D)

Purgatory!Belle- How are you doing? And how is Andrew?

I mean, medically I’m fine. Doctor Whale said we just have to wait it out and my body will take care of things naturally. He gave me a pill to help the process along, but physically I feel…okay. Otherwise I feel awful. I know that this was the absolute worst time to have a baby. Andrew and I are separated, I live in a tiny, cramped apartment, my father obviously wanted nothing to do with me or my child. Conditions really couldn’t have been worse.

But I wanted my baby. And now…now Andrew and I are still separated. I still live in a tiny, cramped apartment and my relationship with my father has deteriorated to the point where he would drug and kidnap me rather than let me make my own choices about my own body. And on top of that, I don’t have my baby. So I guess I really don’t know what to do now. Andrew said he loved me, but why couldn’t he say it months ago? Why couldn’t he tell me that when I was confessing how much I loved him? Why couldn’t he fight for me rather than watch me walk away? Why did it take dire circumstance for him to say it and how can I trust that he’s telling the truth and not acting out of guilt or some sense of responsibility? I don’t want his love because he pities me. I want him to love me because he loves me.

As for Andrew, I never thought he was a particularly emotional man, but these last few months have proven that I didn’t know my husband at all. He seems as affected by the loss of the baby as I am. It’ll only make it worse when he goes back to that cold, calculating man who doesn’t really love me.

How goes it with MrTJ'sBoyfriend? Is everything ok between the two of you, or do I have to come kick ass? (Ok, so that might be an overreaction, but seriously.)

Lol - no, he's perfectly fine.  As usual, I overreacted and thought I ruined things when I patently did not.  He's a lot more mature than any guy I've ever met when it comes to menstrual stuff - he understood that it makes me a little tired, and that it makes my stomach ache, so he asked me at least a dozen times yesterday if I needed anything to feel better.  And he isn't squicked out by the blood, either - to paraphrase him, it's a natural thing, so why should he be put off by it?

I have, however, decided not to talk about my ex-stalker anymore.  I have learned from my mistakes, and I refuse to hurt his feelings again or put more doubts in his head.  He's perfect, or at least perfect for me, and he needs to know that absolutely.

Truth or Dare- 15

15: (truth) If you could rock any unusual article of clothing/makeup technique/hairstyle, what would it be? (dare) Go to the blog of the last person you reblogged a text post from. Reblog your favorite of their selfies.

If I could rock any unusual clothing/make up style/hairstyle I would want purple hair. Any style, doesn't matter just purple.
