Day 129

You disappear so completely into your head sometimes. I wish I could follow you...





I don't pretend to be someone I am not, because I am good at being me. I might not be proud of some of the things that I have done in the past, but I am proud of who I am today.


Our own apartment...check. I guess all that positive heady shit does pay off.

Day 128

I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious...












Today is beautiful.

Day 127

I once read somewhere that if you can't make a decision, you should flip a coin. Because the moment it is in the air, you know exactly what you want the answer to be...


I can be angry and bitter at times, ornery to the point of pushing those away who I fear will reject me and only because I love them so. I'll put up walls and never let someone see my truly vulnerable state of being. Taking a deep breath and trusting just isn't something I'm all that familiar with anymore. I guess when you stand there with open arms and heart on sleeve and people take it and run, you become me. I often wondered what it was like to let go, to give all of me, to enjoy and not worry about pain that may arise. To know that if a storm blows in it doesn't mean that they will walk or that it even has anything to do with me at all.
And then I found this, what I have now.

Strangeness is a necessary ingredient in beauty...







He asked me if I was happy. I said, "Yes, you make me happy."

Day 125

If people sat outside and looked at the stars each night, I'll bet they'd live life a lot differently...










Public Shaming of the Day: Hoping to get a second chance after getting caught cheating by his girlfriend, 26-year-old Brighton man Joe Page took his apology to the streets, donning a sandwich board that read, in part, “I cheated on my girlfriend. I am humiliating myself to show I am sorry.”

“I think people had some sympathy for me because I looked like a complete idiot,” Page said when asked about the reactions of passers-by.

Apparently the stunt worked, because he was allowed back in — albeit to sleep on the couch. “I think slowly she’s coming round,” he said. “Hopefully it won’t take many more drastic measures like this.”

Sat in the park with the love of my life today. Life is sweet.

Day 124

Laughing at every joke and smiling on the inside all of the time...






Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. -Mark Twain
