Despite the fear, there is comfort. Comfort in knowing that your open stance will bring to fruition an adventure like none you have ever experienced.

We live in a world of instant gratification. It’s surrounding us. There are drive-thru restaurants, coffee shops, liquor stores, banks, and equipment repair stations. You drive up, place your order, and within ten minutes or less, you have your product.

My life is not lacking right now. So stop trying to make me feel like it is.

Despite my love for you, I know that I will have moments where I can’t stand you. I will have moments that I am offended by you. I will have moments where I’m so angry at you that I could (and possibly will) scream.

As I learn what works, and what definitely does not, I have realized how much pressure we put on ourselves to keep it together; to stand strong without breaking.

I sit here looking at my phone every ten minutes. More like every ten seconds. I think to myself, “Maybe my phone accidentally got turned to vibrate. Maybe I just didn’t hear the buzz of my text tone. Maybe I just didn’t see my phone light up.

Last night, I snuggled under my Ikea comforter and counted my blessings for good friendships, lots of laughs and an evening of dancing my heart out.

These exes are exes for a reason. And that reason is that something didn’t quite work. Maybe it was a small thing, maybe it was just the effects of time, and maybe it was a BIG FREAKIN’ DEAL. 

Whatever it was, we move on.
