Difficult Things.

While looking into my past (aka this blog) I found the post below, still in draft form. Forgive the typos, spacing, formatting, etc. I felt it needed to be posted, as-is, for my own healing and support to own journey in life. I am still a soldier of life.

Life has been so crazy as of late. Really though, it's been an arduous process. I began a process of self discovery and change in March of 2010. As it stands now, June 21, 2011, I have experienced myriad of highs and lows. I have ridden several roller coasters the size of Mt. Everest, sometimes several in one day. I have triumphed and I have cried bitterly.




As it stands now.... well, I honestly don't know. I ache for so much. I ache for the past, present and future - including could be's, might be's, and never was.




I think about how often I wish the universe would support me more. I've been left hanging periously but I've made it through. I've been bruised and left wary but I continue on. I'm a soldier of life. I was told yesterday (by my boss no less) that I am the living dead. How appropriate... it's ironic that she will never know.




As I continue in my stupor I leave you with some beautiful words from a young writer in CA. I realize that what I post below some might not understand or relate to at all. But, I (as a girl who reads), can feel these words in my very soul. I realize the difficulties of my lfie are because I recognize characters for what they really are, I can sense when the scene will end, I know when the air will leave a room. I know and sense it all... but it really doesn't make it any easier.

On my mind...


"You didn’t love her. You just didn’t want to be alone. Or maybe, maybe she was good for your ego. Or maybe she made you feel better about your miserable life, but you didn’t love her, because you don’t destroy the person that you love."

  Callie Torres, The Heart of the Matter’ 



I haven't blogged in years. I am a different person and yet the same. This is on my mind today. So deeply happy and yet, so deeply distraught. Logic doesn't figure into this picture so I can't describe it to you, my invisible audience.

Yup

Found this on Elements of Style's blog today. How true! I've been toying with some of these statements for quite a while. I'm ready to take some action but I'm not ready for the fallout just yet.



I wait for now... and take baby steps along the way.

Cutest Little One. Ever.

This post should be called, "Aww, Can I keep it?" I present to you this little sweetie, who is a 4-day old zedonk:

Black Beauty

The other night I took my usual route home. While walking the three blocks from my office to the train I had to pass an area hotel and upscale steakhouse. What do I see parked out front?


Be still my heart. The Bentley Continental GT. One little known fact about me.... I am a car girl. And this one is HOT.

I noticed the car as I had to cross the entrance to the hotel. Did I slow my stride as I got closer? Perhaps. Did I walk on tiptoe to try and see over the super tall hedges covering the side view? Maybe. Did I give it a nice long once-over, once I walked past the hedges? Better believe it.


How beautiful is that interior?

Fast Lane... for New Yorkers only?


The always adorable Color Me Katie posted this picture on her blog today. She created this special little "lane" in NY explaining, "New Yorkers are known for always racing to their destination and since people from out of town like to take their time and actually enjoy the city, having separate lanes isn't a bad idea!"

hahahaha. As a New Yorker I love this idea. Getting stuck behind a slow poke on the sidewalk is one of my major pet peeves... especially when I'm late to work!

Squeek squeek!

Darn little hamsters. I love when they shake their heads to the beat.
