About me

Favorite things....
The sight of New York City's skyline, watching the moon rise, the smell right before it rains, writing in my journal in the park, Singing in the shower, snuggling on your favorite couch, dancing in your room, getting lost in a book, laying out on the beach, locking eyes, cuddling, being in lust, finding a new band, roadtrips, sleeping in, the feeling you get after the first kiss, snow days, laughing till your stomach aches, having great friends, frosted cupcakes, the ice cream truck, and stargazing.

I don't quite know why, but this picture gives me hope...its something about the flowers, or maybe its just the picture in its entirety.

I think this is a great initiative. I'm from NYC and it's refreshing to see someone doing something positive.

That's the thing about stepping into your life--no matter what you want to do and how you feel, a lot of people who believe they have your best intentions at heart are going to try to convince you that you're wrong.

So what if you dive headfirst into the unknown? If you fail at anything, oh well, lesson learned, you brush yourself off, and try again or go with something else.

When it comes right down to it, your choices are either (a) please everybody else and be potentially unhappy and dissatifies with your life or (b) do what you know is going to make you happy or at least less unhappy and dissatified than the other options.

Live YOUR life--not someone else's.

The Art of Men

Apr 27, 2008

So I usually don't write Gossipy things, but recently three of my friends have had really crappy luck with men and its inspired this. So friend one had been trying to break up with her boyfriend for months, but they live together so she ends the relationship but he does everything he can to pretend they really haven't broken up..I call it the in denial roomie. My second friend, her ex-boyfriend breaks into her apt twice and then goes to rehab for alcohol abuse, then she finds out a few days ago she's knocked up. And it continues...so my third friend (third times the charm) her boyfriend calls her yesterday and tells her that he realizes when she is gone he doesn't miss her and has no urge to call her so he believes this means that he does not love her anymore, so they should break up. What is this? Once maybe bad luck, but three times in three shitty situations? That's a pattern. No wonder I'm so uninspired when it comes to relationships! I have no healthy relationships around me. At this point I look at guys and I'm like eh your cute but so not worth the trouble. So thats the story, my friends bad luck with men inspired this blurb but has uninspired my forgo into relationships...if that makes any sense. I'm in a limbo arrgh.
