wham. stats. extra early monday.

i love weekends.

so what if there's something that i missed

ribbons never mattered.

i'm just a painter and i'm drawing a blank

There is something so mezmorizing about passionate people doing what they love. Doesn't matter what it is they're doing, you can see the passion. It's inspiring to watch people come alive like that.

last year's wishes are this year's apologies

you hurt me more than i knew at the time.
so many reminders of the damage.

so thankful now to replace the bad memories with good ones.

love.

Something hit me today. Something so obvious, so simple, yet so essential. Jesus. Is. Love. I've heard it 5 million times since I was old enough to listen. And yet somewhere along the way it gets clouded with technicalities. It's almost cliche to say that it's the same undying perfect love that's been with you since before you were born. But at the same time, that "cliche" is refreshing. It's hard to put into words. It's a feeling. One of those realization moments when things just suddenly make a whole lot more sense than they did the day before.

maybe we're all that we needed

fake friends: want to talk but don't want to listen.

reminds me how lucky i am to have some really awesome true friends.

this story ends where it began

Weird. So weird. I'm really excited that it worked out this way, but that doesn't take away the weirdness. It hasn't really set in yet. "Ownership" of horses is kind of a weird concept. At least it is right now for me. Not in the way that all horses should be free and no one should "own" them. But in the way that.. he'll always be mine in a way. It's not something you can just take away with a check. It's weird to not be the one who ultimately makes the decisions anymore. It's kind of hard to step back. Even though I still have a huge say in everything, knowing him so well. It's just different now, sometimes things don't always fit into words.

i've got 26 letters to explain how i'm feeling

your skin was appealing wallpaper

Say what's real. Don't talk just to say something. Don't try to say what you think sounds good, what you think is the right answer. Speak your mind. Don't be afraid of being judged. Think. Think deep. Then say it. Even if it doesn't make sense or it's hard to explain. At least it's something real, something fresh. Discuss. Listen, and build on that. Listen to more than just your own voice. Move the conversation forward instead of dwelling on what we already know.

Stop trying to fake it.
The truth is what we're really after.

tell me what your best friends know

Life tip: if you tell me I can't tell my best friends, something is probably wrong here. If you say not to talk about it because people will criticize, maybe there's a reason they're criticizing.

shallow is as shallow does

I hate people who act like they're just the coolest thing ever ever. Those "too cool for life" types. Those ones that act like they know everything, they've done it all, they have all the answers. Those people that make you feel like you're somehow below them, even though you know they're just ego freaks. Reality check: you don't know everything, no one's worshiping the ground you walk on, your way isn't always best.
