Live & Learn

8 things I have learned about relationships so far:

1. If there is a feeling better than love, I have not felt it. Take the risk and dive in with everything you have.

2. Enjoy the good times together as they are happening and be grateful for them.

3. Stay out of the future and in the moment. Now is certain.

4. Protect both your heart and your partner’s, whether the love is still there or not.We are human and we deserve kindness. We don’t need to add to the burdens we already carry by hurting others. Trust me, it doesn’t make thing better.

5. If your relationship starts to crumble, know when to put it down and let it be. Don’t grind it into dust.

6. You cannot continue to give to another person when you are not at your best; when you are so broken, so beaten down that you have no energy left. When talking has failed and words no longer have meaning, this is when you know it is over. When you feel like this, you have to do what is best for the relationship and for each other and wave the white flag to avoid further damage.

7. Some things just won’t work, no matter how badly we wish they would. Sometimes the match that felt so right just isn’t. Please don’t do more damage to your heart by trying to fix something that has past its expiration date. It will leave you raw.

8. It is okay to walk away from something that hurts you. It doesn’t require blame or justification. It just requires you to stop fanning the flames. You will find love again, and next time it will feel better.

My BFF.

This girl is one person I never thought I would be best friends with. I've confided in her and trusted her with more things than I could shake a stick at & she has never betrayed me. I know no matter what she will never judge me. Its people like her that the world needs more of. Genuine, Honest, Compassionate, Good Hearted & All Around Beautiful. She has stuck by me through my pregnancy and being a young mom, crappy boyfriends and drunken nights, family problems and my everyday struggles. I don't know too many people (our age) who would come over at 7am and watch someone else's newborn so the mom can get some sleep. [yes, she's done it for me] She's always there to give me a shoulder to cry on, sometimes tells me things I don't want to hear but is what I need to hear & will always tell me to get up, dust my knees offs and reassure me that things will be ok. I have no idea what kind of person I would be, or how my life would be if we would of never had Coach Estabrook/Higginbotham. I thank God everyday for putting such an amazing person in my life. :]



Love & Other Drugs

Three years ago I never saw my life the way it is today. I've been blessed with the most perfect little boy, an amazing family & some of the best of friends. Although I seem happy on the outside, inside I feel like i'm falling apart. I had a plan for myself... married by 23, kids by 25 & finish college and start my journey. Don't get me wrong, my little boy is my everything! I don't regret him or my ex one bit! I just am dissappointed in myself for staying so long and losing the person that I used to be. I've never been so degrated, so abused, so hurt in my life! I turned on my family, my friends and got so wrapped up in someone that never deserved me. I know God has a plan for everything and he would never put me through something I can't handle but geez it's really getting to me. I started this blog to try and get my feelings out instead of talking to someone. I could always write better than I could talk. :) I'm sure there will be more to come.
