Hello!!


First of all- HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!


I'm back!! I've been gone for so long. Where do I even begin?! Spent most of my time in "reflection mode". Still trying to find my place in this world.

Although I really wish my return came with good news, unfortunately, that's not the case. I can't say I have any groundbreaking news actually, but so much has happened since my last post! I shall post updates when possible to catch up.

I def miss this virtual outlet. This new hermit detached version of me that has evolved aint cutting it!

Let's see...exciting news...neigh. BUT- I joined the most amazing gym of all time!! The dance and yoga classes have maintained my sanity amidst all the madness. My goal- to be able to bring my foot above my head. If that sounds like no big deal then YOU TRY IT! It's damn hard!!

(this dude's not even doing it all the way butttt; he doth have nice ass)

Well, I just wanted to peek in and say hi. I promise I'll write more very shortly, but there are currently double stuffed Oreos SCREAMING my name!!

Scrambled Brain and a Side of Melancholy?

Hello everyone!! Oh how I missed this place! Life definitely got a hold of me and almost dragged me down! But in true fighter form, I kicked it in the shins and ran! Hahaha.... yeah.



The past few weeks were rough, and still are. Between work, friends, family, and dare I say- love life? It all wore down on me. My friends decided to take a leave of absence, along with "him". I just don't get it. Being the astrological freak that I am, I blame it on their signs. See all of my close friends and "him", are Aquarius'; and if you know an Aquarius, then you know that they have this tendency to just disappear with the wind. But like all good ones, they come back in like a cool breeze (if you give them their freedom).

Here's where my story got/gets hard.

I came clean with him about how I feel- sort of. I mean, I told him he meant a lot to me and that I was afraid to tell him how I felt because of fear that he would run away (like he has done in the past) and he told me that he felt the same way and that maybe he would have run in the past but not anymore because he feeling for me changed... I should be happy with that right? WRONG. Well, I was happy that he said that but I wasn't happy that I didn't hear from him for over a week following that conversation! It was like he fell off the face of the Earth! I texted him and got nothing. So that made me genuinely concerned about him. FINALLY on Saturday I hear from him via text, which can get quite tricky when trying to determine tone might I add. Turns out he went "away" for the week (no, not to jail), but he didn't have access to a phone.

Great. So he had like 4 text messages from me asking if he was alive, mad, etc. He was real short with me. Here's the convo from Saturday, verbatim (so what, I spell funny when I text):

Me: hey so I'm not taking my exam; sorry if I said something outta line last time; hope ur ok; and I miss u!

Him: thats great I was _____ just got out yesterday

Me: I had a feeling something happened. U ok? Sorry for all the messages, I was just worried

Him: I'm great thank you

What the eff?! I left that at that. He was probably in no mood to talk or hear anything so I let him be. I did say this to him last night,

"Babe I know u know this but I'm always here for u...if u need a talk, ass woopin, lay, shoulder, whatevs. I hate not talkin to u. There's a "his name" shaped void in my world"

Yeah yeah, I know, I'm gonna let him be. But I had to say my last piece. It kills me to let him pull away, even if it's temporarily because I worked so hard to get to where we were. Maybe he'll come back with a better perception of us, but I must also be prepared for him to walk away. Ugh!!! I keep thinking, what did I do wrong? I know it's not all me because he is going through his own personal trials and tribulations, but really- how can I make things better? All I can do and have been doing is relying on faith. That's all I can do. What do you think? Is he blatantly gone or am I being an emotional female?


Then there's work. My manager from hell! I have been busting my toocus to get a much needed spectacular review, but you know when you feel someone just has it out for you? She's a sh*tty manager, her work is behind, she lies about numbers (we're in finance and that's a bad move on her part), she's a lier, and she talks about us (her "team" of 3) behind our backs! Well, she makes snide remarks. For instance, her issue with me is my time....lord DO NOT get me started!! My company has never been a stickler for the petty sh*t like this, they are all about "work-life balance". Apparently this b*tch doesn't get it. So I've been coming in on time and working over time (gotta pay these mounting bills!) but I know because I took today off, she'll have some things to say- not to my face of course.

Oh well, she'll get what's coming to her soon enough. That dumbass.

On a positive note, I took today off to take care of a long/ expired to do list!! I have sooo much to do that can only be handled during business hours. So I'm off to get'er done!

My Conversation With the Big Guy


[Image via Maddy C.]
Dear God,

I know I haven't spoken to you in a long time. It's not that I've been too busy, it's simply because I have been lazy and afraid. I'm afraid that being close to you again will result in the loss of more friends. I know all that you do is to benefit me but sometimes a little humanly companionship is nice. Lately I have been feeling so alone. I have tried to keep all of your teachings in mind (minus the fornication- lord I know it's a sin but I'm weak when it comes to that!) and have always based my decisions on doing what is right and just.

If I have been doing things like I am "supposed to" then why have you forsaken me? Why am I so unhappy? I could list all of the things in my life that comprise this list but you know all. I do however, question one thing: where have all the good people gone? Why are so many people willing to hurt others? Why do good friends only exist in our imaginations?

God, you have blessed me in so many ways. I have a job- it may not be the career of my choice but so many don't even have that; I have a wonderful dog- the only one I can consider my true friend, to some that may sound sad but to me it's not; I have great acquaintances, or as they like to consider themselves- "friends"; and last but not least, you blessed me with my loving family. I have the greatest father in the world. He is not perfect but he is the greatest man to walk this Earth. His love is unconditional and tough, he is a protector, a nurturer, and everything a father should be.

Still, after listing all that, I feel empty. I know you are busy and my request is insignificant compared to all the others you have; but if you could please hear me- just this once. Hear the cries of my heart. I long for happiness, both financially and in the form of a loving partner. I want friends that are true. Please grant me this wish so that I may die with the knowledge that I lived a life with purpose and meaning. That I would leave this Earth with people whose lives I have touched and in return have touched mine- because Lord, as much as you know how I despise being negative, I can't help but think that if I were to leave today, the only one who'd morn would be my father.

Help me to not feel so alone in my darkest hour. I want a life that is simple and filled with genuine loving people.

Hopefully, this too shall pass...

Amen.
