You think you know...

I'm always amused by what people think they know about me based off of something I say or post online. You may follow me on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and even my blog, but I will promise you that you don't know everything. I may be open about a lot of things, but there are plenty of things I don't talk about.



I don't mind when someone contacts me to ask about something or to see if I'm okay. I have opened up to a few people about everything going on in my life and there were plenty of things they misunderstood from my posts, tweets and whatever else. There were also things they had no idea about.

Please don't assume anything about me or my life. I have had many people in real life read things I've posted and assumed they knew everything. However, most of them assume many different things.

For example; I broke up with LBZ, LBZ broke up with me, I'm pregnant, I had an abortion, I had a miscarriage, I'm seeing other people, I'm partying non-stop,  I have an eating disorder and the list seriously goes on and on.



Last night I send out a Snapchat to a few people with my middle finger up and it say "LOL @ dudes who don't mention their pregnant girlfriends" I was thinking people would assume I was talking to someone else who didn't mention their pregnant girlfriend, which obviously I'm not. It was about a distant friend. However, I didn't expect to wake up with 15 texts asking if I was pregnant.

People see things the way they want to. I'll let them. I don't need to prove anything to anyone. I don't need to act differently or say things in order to clear things up for people who are just looking for something to use in order to judge. 

I decided to put this on my blog instead of on another social networking site because I really don't care to confront those people who just assume thing. I have nothing to prove. I don't need to explain myself to people that just want to be in on any drama going on in my life. I know that my blog readers either support me in anything I'm going through or they'll reach out and contact me to see what's going on. As always, I'm so grateful for the people I've met through blogging. Some of you have no idea how much you've helped me through so many different situations. Honestly, thank you all so much.

  3. Hang in there girl. I used to worry myself to death about how people saw me or what they thought of me. But I have been through so much and learned some hard life lessons and now the only person's opinion that matters to me is my own. This quote really is true: “Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.” :))

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...

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...

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 ...
