Appreciating the little things:
like,
the wind whipping your hair around in your face
that one spot on the 22 where you get a little bit of air
the lingering scent of someone on your skin
awkward people that attempt to make you smile in their awkwardness
pay days
a warm shower on a cold morning
high-fives and bear hugs
your favorite song coming up on the radio, in the middle of rush-hour traffic
relating to a complete...

Burnt out.
“…I don’t want you to get the wrong idea about last night. Yes, I kinda have some feelings for you. In fact, I have for a while. Why wouldn’t I? You’re awesome and that’s that. So what? Quite frankly, I don’t want or expect anything from you. I guess I was just looking for someone to hang out with. …Lol, but seriously, yeah. If you’d like to...

I’ve had my fill of chastisement for many moons. The dirty looks and put downs are well deserved and coming in bulk. Let me be the first to say that I fully and completely concur that my actions were heinous and lewd. Although he deserves his just revenge, breaking my mother’s heart just seems inequitable. I don’t know if I will ever be able to fix myself in her eyes. I...
Things I'm done with:
relationships, for a long, long time.
hiding, lying (what’s the point?)
worrying (ditto.)
judging “Don’t judge a man until you have walked two moons in his moccasins.”
hurting others
running away
being a child
but I’ll never be done crying. I’m not even going to pretend.

Fictional Non-Fiction: Prude
The best thing was that smile. The wide, goofy, drunken smile as he lay content on the floor, shoes kicked off, 5 o’clock shadow, studying her. He lifts his hand and grazes her thigh. She shakes her head and places his hand back on-top of his chest. She fixes his tie. She re-adjusts his button-down shirt. “You’re so indecent.” He chuckles to himself....

Fictional Non-Fiction: Anthony
It was all in that look; those all too attentive wide-eyes, the slight gape in his mouth as a thought scratched the surface of his brain. It was the all too characteristic crook’d smile. It was the mumbles, the hellos and good-byes. It was the sit-down-and-chat-with-you while you test the ability to not let green pesto streak all over the corners of your mouth. Let me eat my sandwich,...

I've been far too passive for far too long.
Let’s get this straight,
I have worked long and hard for this company for just about 9 months. I’ve taken all of the shit you threw at me and shook it off. I’ve busted my ass to meet impossible demands and thrown myself out there to make sure shit gets done. I know and you know that I’m just about one of the only people here who actually does their job the way...

Here's what I came up with:
No. 1 Save more than you spend. No. 2 Write/read something every day. No. 3 Take even more photographs. No. 4 Make a masterpiece. No. 5 Love yourself, love others, love tea. (Yes, that’s right, tea.)
No. 6 Go on more adventures. (Save yourself from the impending insanity.) No. 7 Love work, but quit being a workaholic. No. 8 Finally get your room done. No....

Good riddance 2011.
I feel like I should be working on writing some New Years Resolutions, but the only thing I really hope for is that 2012 will be a better year.
“Depression is humiliating. It turns intelligent, kind people into zombies who...”

I feel like I need to release all my demons.
I hate holidays injected with major expectations.
Today I realized how awkward Southern California looks wrapped up in big red bows and inflatable snowmen. Especially with the all too comfortable toasty breeze ruffling the palm trees outside.
I don’t know why every year I hope to wake up in the morning and have the magic of Christmas fill my home. Every year I wake up and it’s just another day, except full of expectations of joy...

Where's a cute manager when you need him?
So, I really like soy milk. And gluten free granola bar things. The one thing separating me from a Vegan lifestyle? I friggin’ love turkey. And bacon. You just can’t live without bacon.

I've never hated myself more than I do at this...
It's actually not funny at all.
I have no idea who the hell I am anymore. I used to know. I used to take so much pride in who I was and what I stood for; now, I’m nothing. I don’t try. I’ve failed. I’m a failure. All this pressure to be who I’ve been taught I’m supposed to be is suffocating and I just want to break free and go crazy. Right now, I’m not who I want to be. I’m not a...
