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!

You can’t blog with us!

I’m not digging all of these big shot bloggers trying to make these rules for blogging. I have read posts about how not everyone should have a blog. If you’re not a big shot blogger, like myself.. this post is for you. If you are a big shot blogger, this post is also for you.. but, none of you will read this. These are just some of the rules that I don’t follow.. Your blog will be judged by it’s cover. Have a perfect layout. If spending $100 to have some make a layout for my blog means you’ll read my blog and you’ll follow me.. then I don’t give a damn if you’re not following me. Respond to all comments left on your blog. It is important to respond to comments.. however, I do understand why people can’t always respond. Personally.. if you ask me something I most likely will respond. A lot of the time I get comments that pretty much all I can say is “Thank you!” to.. I mean.. I’ll absolutely always respond if you e-mail me.. or even if you comment on instagram.. I respond almost inst...

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...

Friday’s Letters!

Dear Pictures Of Myself, Why do you always look so bad? And, no.. I am not saying I’m ugly or any of that.. so please, don’t jump down my throat about that. But you know how some girls look 100 times better in their photos than in real life? Well, that’s not me.. and people have had no issue telling me that. Which, I guess is better.. unless you only see photos of me.. ehh, whatever. Dear Blog, I will be spending some time on you today. Planning some posts, commenting on some of my favorite blogs.. all of that stuff good bloggers do. Dear Friday, I’m so glad to be seeing you! Next Friday I will be enjoying Chicago for the very first time at the Keane concert with the love of my life! I need to make you a very productive day.. since Thursday was anything but productive. Dear Lucas Blaze, Thank you so much for planning on booking our room today after you get out of work around 7am… You’re the best. Last weekend was so amazing. I love all of our fun little dates. Dear Dark Hair, ...
