I’m not very good at betting. I’m not very good at choosing the right guys. I think we all know that by now. I choose guys I think I can fix. I choose guys who are broken. So when I consciously chose a guy who didn’t seem broken, I thought maybe things would be different. But alas, I was wrong once again. The thing is, I’m not upset. I’ve grown to expect this kind of thing. I’m more… Disappointed. Not for myself, but for people in general…
I’ve had a very short track record so far with guys this year. I made myself a promise, a resolution, that I would not get a boyfriend in 2015. I’ve done a pretty great job at keeping my distance with all the guys I have dated thus far. I was kind of a one and done girl. No one really made it to date #2. And definitely not date #3. That is, until the Swede. I’ve always loved other cultures, so it’s not surprising that when Joachim and I went on our…
So, there’s this guy. It’s totally wrong. There are so many obstacles. But there he is. The more we talk, the more I see it… A beginning. I promised myself I would not get into a relationship this year. But I can’t help but think about the possibilities with this guy. He’s funny. He’s kind. He’s so much fun to be around. Maybe trying won’t be bad. Maybe I need to stop being so against finding someone. After being cheated on and physically and verbally…
“I’ve done the merry go round I’ve been through the revolving door I feel like I met somebody I can stand still with for a minute and… don’t you wanna stand still with me?” I wish he did…
New novels. New adventures. New life. It’s scary. It’s scary when you give your heart to someone and they don’t take it seriously. It scary when you’re forced to forget all the memories that were beyond wonderful. It’s scary to start over. But it’s true that it’s always scary before you start something new. So I’ll work on me. I’ll see beautiful places. I’ll make beautiful words. I’ll show my child the beautiful things this world has to…
I have a problem with commitment, and it’s not what you think. I’ve never cheated. It’s not my style and I don’t understand it. Maybe I’m too honest. If I don’t like you, you probably know it, so why would I waste my time staying in a relationship that isn’t working, just so I can sneak around behind that person’s back with someone else? You will know when I’m through with a relationship. Bye. My problem with commitment is that I am…
“If this was my forever, I wouldn’t want to spend it here. ” ― Sarah Dessen, The Truth about Forever One of my favorite books of all time is The Truth about Forever. This quote is something I like to ask myself constantly. I’m always making sure I’m spending my “forever” the way I want to, the way that makes me happy. I can’t tell you the exact moment that I answered that question as “I wouldn’t want to spend it here” but it was frequent and firm…
“One day you fall for this boy. And he touches you with his fingers. And he burns holes in your skin with his mouth. And it hurts when you look at him. And it hurts when you don’t. And it feels like someone’s cut you open with a jagged piece of glass.” — Maureen Medved (The Tracey Fragments…
“Look at me,” he says, his hands gripping onto my cheeks lightly but with force. I raise my gaze and our eyes meet and those baby blues pierce into me sending shivers up my spine, making my back arch. I’ve never been this close with someone. I’ve never felt this connected before. It doesn’t feel real. But, at the same time, it feels more real than anything I’ve known before. My heart is beating quickly. I’m nervous as hell. What if I’m doing it wrong? What…
My search for a full, happy life is sometimes misleading. Our life will never be full, never be completely happy. For fullness is something that isn’t tangible. We will always want more. We will always search for more in the deepest, darkest, secret places in our hearts. We will always wonder. We will always wander. But there are moments. Oh, there are moments. Moments when the world gets quiet. Moments when the hum of the air conditioning, the birds chirping in the distance, the drip, drip, drip of the snow melting are the only thing that let us…
