My three words: Naked, Secrets, Read

Hmm...what does that say about me? What are your three words?

Girls Night Out

Last weekend, Janell and I attended an organized "Girls Night Out" at Pierpont Place up in Salt Lake. It was actually really fun. They had food, dancing, a raffle, and then things like manicures, pedicures, henna, feather extensions, etc. Janell and I both won things and then just hung out with all these random people all night. There were quite a few "older" women having the time of their lives on the dance floor. (I wish I had video).

However, I got into a conversation with one lady who kept telling me how beautiful we were and not to throw it away, but she did give me some advice that I thought about for a while. She was telling me to enjoy my youth and not waste it etc, but the thing that stuck out to me was when she said if she could tell me anything it was, to "Be Choosey". I feel like this probably is a very good thing to remember. I guess it just made me think a lot lately because I am making some big decisions about school and dating and etc. I feel like this is the time in my life where it is important for me to be choosey more than any other time, because this is the time in my life where I can be a little bit selfish and make sure that I get the things that I need for me. I just want to be happy and have a good life :)

I always recommend a good girls night out.

"Truths for Mature Humans"

I thought this was pretty funny. Most of these things have gone through my mind at one point or another.

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day everyone! My friend posted this and I thought I would pass this along!

You still need your mother....

I saw this in this months Glamour magazine - AND being a person that still needs my mom all the time I thought this was Mother's Day appropriate. Enjoy!

1. When the love of your life gives you a diamond ring.....or meets someone else.

2. The moment you pee on a stick and it's positive!

3. On the morning of your birthday when no one else is going to call until noon.

4. When someone gives you a complement so lavish you'd be too embarrassed to repeat it to anybody else.

5. When you find a lump - or she does.

6. When the kids you're babysitting (or your own kids) won't stop crying.

7. When you get your first pink-eye, food processor.... or mother-in-law.

8. When you need someone to assure you that 30 (or 40) is still really young.

9. When you need to know the exact shade to fix your under eye circles.

10. When the recipe calls for evaporated milk and you're standing in the grocery store wondering, is that a powder? A liquid? A gas?

11. When you've swung up to the sky, and it doesn't seem real until she applauds.

Happy Mother's Day Mom! Love You!

torn

A little frustrated and a little sad tonight. Same old same old. Guess I should learn. Hopefully I'll get it straightened out tomorrow...if not, I guess I have some things to figure out. :( I wish this would just work itself out.

At some point though it gets to the point where there are some things that almost can't be repaired. The damage is just kind of done. There are only so many times...

spring cleaning

This is kind of what happens every time I try to clean out my closet. I always think o but what if that comes back in style, or maybe I'll end up wearing that for this...etc etc. Maybe I'll fit back into this one day...

I'm so bad at cleaning things out.

This also applies to my life. I really need to just clean out my life. UGH!

so just

So just kiss me, and let my hair messy itself in your fingers. Let me steady myself in the arms of a man who won’t ask me to be what he needs, but lets me exist as I am.

growing up

"I’ve discovered as I’ve grown up that life is far more complicated than you think it is when you’re a kid. It isn’t just a straightforward fairytale."

Rachel McAdams

crying

Maybe crying is a means of cleaning yourself out emotionally. Or maybe it’s your communication of last resort; the only way to express yourself when words fail the same as when you were a baby and had no words.

- Aristotle

don't feel like it

*this is how i felt all weekend*

frustration and an apology

This may not sound like what love is to most people. I don't think this is love either, but it does sound a lot like a relationship. At least this is sort of what I am going through right now.

So I apologize for all of my depressing and pathetic posts lately. My blog has sort of become a place for me to get my frustrations and feelings out, because I feel like then I don't have to burden people with it and if you read my blog you can just skip over the posts that seem boring you or don't want to read :)

Anyway, relationships always start out so happy and fun, but anyone will tell you they take work. I also guarantee there are very few people that say they haven't been through a point in a relationship that actually meant something where they haven't ended up crying themselves to sleep one night and then smiling their faces off the next day. Relationships are hard. They come with making big decisions. They come with happiness and heartbreak. A great relationship makes it through the hard things, but they for sure are not perfect.

I guess I'm at the point where I'm trying to figure out what my relationship is right now. Hopefully it just makes me a stronger person in the end either way.

fish in the sea

Sure, there's plenty of fish in the sea. But there's also sharks, seaweed & toxic waste.
