Pain is inevitable: suffering is optional

Yup, that about sums it up.
Stop complaining, you sissies (myself included). It IS what you make it.

days gone by
I have been writing and writing…and deciding to keep my posts private as I work through in my mind what I feel like I am willing to share.
With all of the madness that goes on with all of those within the incestuous blogging world who apparently get way more ass than I do, I decided to take a step back in June and make everything private, so I wouldn’t hold back, and I would think,...

Umm yah, I need to work on those tempting moments.
don't call it a comeback
So, about a month ago I took this blog private and stopped sharing. I was scared someone I like read it, saw some of the things I said about him, and although it wasn’t oversharing, and wasn’t anything that he doesn’t already know, and although I never said/wrote/whatever his name, I just felt wrong/scared/nervous at the thought of him reading it.
I just don’t want to...

days of daze of days
I have been in quite a busy daze lately. So many changes: work, life, friendship, …nope not love, but everything else :) And hope is abundant.
More soon.

the journey for happiness.
My friend Lee took off on a summer long European journey. He has been keeping a blog filled with amazing pictures from all of his places and I have enjoyed watching his trip.
Today I caught up with his blog when I found this buried within an entry. It was so refreshing to read—a guy who has everything (smarts, looks, dinero, kindness, ambition, humor, etc)…yet who has started to...
day 304.
I feel lonely and I don’t want to feel lonely.
I am 100% + happy. Could always be happier, but I feel like I just want a hug or a kiss…or someone to hold my hand.
And I HATE feeling that way. I love being single, for some reason on Sundays I just get the urge for affection.
The rest of the week flies by and I have a blast with friends, but for some reason on Sunday nights, I just...

oh, elle...
I am currently out of control, can’t stop crying, which is a rarity for me. And my dog, Elle, is trying to lick away my tears. Bless her tiny yet huge heart for always trying. (e—-ironically enough we JUST discussed this. then my mom called. and here we are. must’ve been a premonition)
We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.

day 325 :: fucking timing.
I just found out that someone that I really want to see is coming here less than 24 hours after I leave to go see my sister’s graduation. I am/was/am really excited about her graduation and now I just can’t help but be sad that I am missing him. If it was anything other than this graduation I’d push it back a couple of days. Why is timing in life so f’d up sometimes? Fate,...

day 331 :: the definition of "knowing" someone
Today has started off with a sunny bang. After a great night last night with my friends, a lovely email that I woke up to, and a beautiful run, I am filled with happiness and gratitude today. Which brings me to a dilemma I’m facing…typically I try not to engage negativity at all, but if someone says some nasty, inappropriate, off-base things to you, how do you best respond? My instinct...

day 333.......................
Perhaps because it is half of 666, this day was destined to be somewhat miserable. There were a few hours of total fun earlier but all in all, it has been a wash. I’m sad and I don’t know why, lonely and I have no reason to be, and bored out of my gourd, even though I have 100 things to do and have already done 20. I have got to stop reading Shakespeare. I’m going for a run....
Yes, time flies. And where did it leave you? Old too soon…smart too late.

day 335 :: mama, dentist, rain, QT
That is a summation of my weekend. TGIF! I can’t tell you how glad I am that the weekend is here. I just hope it doesn’t rain away the entire time. I’d like to get some sun and a Central Park walk in. I have a lot on my to-do list this weekend (don’t you hate that?) but all good things and I’m getting in tons of QT with some friends so that is fabulous. I feel really...
