They don't miss you when you're gone, they miss you when you move on.

I just want to say thank you to all of you who commented and reached out to me after my last post. It was a hard post to write. It wasn't something I felt comfortable mentioning for months and months. I'm glad I finally decided to suck it up and share.



I want all of you to know that I'm okay. This was something I've been dealing with for a while. I've had some really bad days, but I'm having much better days. 

Sunday night, I went on a date. It was a really great night. However, my ex found out and wasn't happy. After months of him not being willing to talk about our issues and figure everything out, he had a lot to say. I was more annoyed than anything. I walked away from the relationship because I couldn't allow myself to keep trying so hard and being mistreated and to constantly have everything turned around so I looked like the bad person. I didn't just wake up one day and just out of the blue walked away. It was at least 6 months that I said I'd leave if things didn't change. 

I'm very strong, but I allowed myself to be weak. I allowed myself to hurt for so long that I finally broke down and found myself in situations where I didn't even know who I was. I have spent the past few months finding out who I really am. I can admit my wrongs, but I grateful to take every single moment as a lesson learned.




I'm being as honest as I can in this post and the last post I wrote. There are many things that I'm not going to get into details about because I'm not writing these posts to bash anyone. I don't need to defend myself. I know that I'm not any of the things being said to me or about me. 

I'm moving forward. I'm doing things that make me happy. I have a lot of wonderful things going on in my life that I can't wait to catch you all up on. 

Again, thank you all so much for all the love and support you have shown me. I wish I could explain just how much it means to me.

    One of my ex boyfriends acted surprised when I broke up with him, but like you, I had told him repeatedly that there were issues and if he didn't shape up, things would be done. I don't think he actually believed I had the balls to do it, which was even more of a reason to do it. You have to look out for yourself and your happiness. You deserve to be around people who make you happy and don't bring you down!

Now or never... (QUICK UPDATE)

I wasn't lying when I said that I wanted to get back into blogging. However, life took multiple turns and I've been too busy to sit down at my computer and produce a decent blog post. It can't hurt to fill in anyone that still reads my blogs, but might not closely follow me on social media. After TWO years of being single and not being into the idea of dating anyone, I'm actually in a relationship. I know at the beginning of a relationship it's expected to be in the state that you feel like you've never been happier. The difference is, I've known my boyfriend for 11 years. When we were young, we'd always act like a couple. We never had a "title" back then no matter how many times we reconnected. Seven months ago, he finally moved back home. I was so excited to have him back in my life. Then I realized that I wasn't okay with just being his friend. After about 5 months of blowing him off and him giving up trying to hang out, I finally ex...

Thoughts from an ex-blogger..

My desire to get back to writing has been so strong lately. I can't seem to figure out if I want to blog again. At the same time, I REALLY want to blog again. I've found comfort in my privacy. This comfort has made me uncomfortable with openly sharing details of my life. However, blogging always was there to provide me with an outlet to express my thoughts, feelings and emotions. The people I was able to connect with through blogging was always an incredible bonus. I didn't want to blog when I realized that people that I don't want to be part of my life were reading my blog posts. During this time I also stopped being active on Twitter and Instagram. I felt that it was unfair to me that specific people were able to catch up on my life via social media. There are many issue I face with returning to my blog. I need to allow myself to step outside of my comfort zone of keeping my life private. I need to be okay with the fact that some people, that shouldn't be ...

Sleepy Momma

I did plan on posting this previous week and the week before.. however, I've been so incredibly exhausted and busy. I guess that's a great way of putting, welcome to mom life! To be completely honest, I'm so happy with where I'm at in life right now. Yes, there are things that are difficult to deal with and I know some of those things will always be hard. For a while I wished that I could go back well over a year ago and made a different decision. I don't wish that now because I've grown so much and gained things I could never give up. My strength, my motivation and my happiness is at an all time high. It feels amazing. In other news...  I finally got a kitten! She's such a sassy girl, but she can be the most loving thing at times! When she wakes up and I'm next to her or when I pick her up, she grabs my cheeks and kisses me.  The bottom left photo is a result of a playful kitty that needs her nails trimmed. If you foll...
