Breaking Free

There are people who will try to cut off your wings because they cannot imagine themselves with wings. 

-Laura Livia Grigore

Sometimes I feel the need to escape from reality, to break away from where I am. I guess my reality has always been breaking away eventually, that I start to feel like something is wrong if my life isn't following that pattern. 

A lot of times I do feel like people are trying to 'cut off my wings', sometimes unintentionally, and it's a new idea for me that maybe the only reason they are doing it is just because they cannot imagine themselves feeling what I do. 

I think this quote is beautiful and just what I needed today.

Halfway Back Again

Distance doesn’t separate people… Silence does.

Life Lessons

It's amazing how sometimes things which seem like really important 'big, bad' things effect you less then the minor ones. It doesn't make sense why something so small can get me this down.
It sucks when you think you can trust someone not to purposely hurt your feelings and then they say something which is probably meaner than anything anyone else has ever told you.

I know I partially brought it on myself, but wow. ouch!
I think my next resolution for my life is to be more careful when I make decisions, only do things that I am sure I won't regret.
They say, live life without regrets and don't say sorry for doing the things you want to do. But that can't be true because every time I make a selfish decision it's going to come back and hit me in the face. It might take half a year, but it always does. I guess I need to start learning from my mistakes. Time to wake up from my fantasy world where I think I don't have rules now that I am an adult, and realize that being logical is a rule I have to play by or I won't be able to get by.

So here's to the beginning of my path to being a smarter adult!
Cheers!
