Year of New Beginnings

This year has been an interesting year so far. I moved from Massachusetts to Florida - away from all of my friends to move closer to my parents. Left everything behind and no job lined up, though I did get a job right after I moved which was really lucky. This year also marked my 10 yr reunion from high school - gee does time really fly. So I went back up north to see old friends who I missed dearly. There I was sprung the question "would you be my bridesmaid" by one of my best friends! It was so unexpected that I was speechless - which usually doesn't happen. Her wedding is next year, so I planned on going back home a few times next year for: 1. dress fitting 2. bachelorette 3. wedding!!! If that wasn't enough to look forward to, the other day my friends face-timed me from dinner to tell me some even more exciting news ........ my best friend is PREGNANT!!! I was beyond ecstatic!! I'm already thinking of crochet crafts and clothes to buy and its not even my baby! Next year is going to be a great year, and even though I'm not five minutes down the road anymore, I am truly blessed to have friends that make me feel like I never left and keep me up-to date on new and exciting happenings! Without their support, friendship, love and encouragement I would never have had the guts to move.

Though miles may lie between us we are never far apart, for friendship doesn't count miles its measured by the heart. <3

Breaking Up is Hard

Everyone's gone through it. I've been through it plenty. But it still hurts every time. This agonizing feeling of loneliness and heartbreak - I can't eat - My throat and eyes hurt from crying and I'm always feeling an onset of tears that I try to push back into the deepest part of me.

Everything happens for a reason is seriously my motto because it does. There's always a reason why you meet that person and they break your heart - Is there a life lesson involved? Possibly, probably, but who knows? Right now I can barely think straight let alone feel like my life is going to get better and the next time around will be different. I've said this to myself for the past six years of my single life. I've had my ups and my downs but I always pick myself back up. But I always find it hard to believe that I will one day meet my prince charming because it seems like there's a lot more frogs than princes who surround me or find me or walk into my life unexpectedly. But hey, life isn't always a fairytale right? Sometimes it's a harrowing journey through a dark, scary forest where you have to slay the dragon or evil queen. But usually a happy ending comes out of it, it appears though that my epic life is taking a little too long to get to its happily ever after. C'est la vie! It is what it is. Whose life is perfect anyways?

Look on the bright side - 1. My friends and family are amazing and love me just as much as I love them. 2. I have a great job. 3. I live in sunny Florida where I can go to the beach or pool any day I want, even in the winter if I dare :) 4. My pets are cuddly and love me and don't care what I do or how I act or anything. 5. I am an awesome person, whose kind to others, whose loving and who loves life - at least that's how I feel. I honestly believe that you can't love someone else until you love yourself. It took me a while to really understand that, but I do, I honestly love myself, in every way shape or form.

But in lieu of my breaking up - even though he said it was a break I know that its a break up - I'm going to post a song that fits my mood perfectly. Stay happy and live life to the fullest.

 


LIVE. LAUGH. LOVE. DREAM. INSPIRE.
