Something About Closing Doors

This blog is no longer relevant. But, I thought the Internet deserves to see in writing how I felt about a week ago...



Herro, Internet friends. I'd like to share with you a piece of my soul in the form of a song. I woke up at 7:30 am the other day with words bouncing around in my head and had to take advantage of the opportunity!

As you all know, my boyfriend and I broke up about a week ago. Don't worry, it was nothing messy, just something that needed to happen so we could both be happy in the end. I had a fantastic time getting to know this man and he really means a lot to me and he always will.

This song is a brief recap of how things went from perfect to not so perfect. We both changed, but in ways that didn't compliment each other. And that's the saddest part. We show nothing but our best in the beginning, but as we get comfortable, our darker sides come out of hiding and sometimes, it's too much to deal with. We don't mean to hurt each other or ourselves, but it happens.

I don't have any regrets. I don't harbor any hard feelings. I'm sad but happy.

In the beginning, we always put our best foot forward. 

I remember saying, "I see no bad in you."

In the beginning, we never need our questions answered. 

I remember thinking, "I'll never have to worry again."

I guess it got too hard. 

I guess we got tired of being our best. 

I'm sorry I didn't stay the person you first met. 

I'm sorry for all the crazy shit I said. 

I loved you, but not enough to let you go. 

I loved you way too much to keep you close. 

Somewhere in the middle, we started picking on each other. 

I remember saying, "You're always so mean to me."

Somewhere in the middle, we started getting insecure. 

I remember thinking, "I'll never feel safe again."

I guess it got too hard. 

I guess we got tied of being our best. 

I'm sorry I didn't stay the person you first met. 

I'm sorry for all the crazy shit I said. 

I loved you, but not enough to let you go. 

I loved you way too much to keep you close. 

I will always love you for who you were in the beginning.

I will always love you for you have become. 

I will always love you. 

I will always love you. 

I will always love you. 

I will always. 

So there you have it, friends. It's time to start a new journey. 

Gettin' Crafty

One of my favorite things to do is to listen to good music and paint. I'd been out of ideas for a week or two, but I was dying to get creative! Thanks to pinterest, I've seen tons of painted cutoffs. Roughly 90% of my shorts are cutoffs, so this project was perfect for me.

So I broke out the brushes and acrylics and got to work. The original idea was to use white and purple for the stripes, but this bright red caught my eye and wasn't going to leave me alone. My lovely facebook and Twitter friends told me to put stars on the butt, which was a fantastic idea. I'm so proud of the way these turned out. Too bad it's cold. I want to wear them RIGHT MEOW!

So there you have it. My new-,ish shorts! Thanks for reading, Internet!
