Second chances.

Sometimes they are worth it and other times you find yourself second guessing ever giving someone a second chance. But some second chances are risks you have to take. Especially when it comes to loving someone and having patience with not only them but yourself.

Sometimes the right person will come along but it won't be the right timing. I'm a very strong believer in "right person, wrong timing". Sometimes people have to grow apart and truly find themselves and what they want in order to be the best version of themselves.

Nothing is going to be easy when you reconnect with someone after so much time has passed. But what I have learned is that if two people love each other and want it to work, they will always find a way. The challenge will be worth the reward if you have faith and trust in each other. It's about taking chances and not being afraid to say, "this is what I want" and "this is how I feel". Because at the end of the day, what do you have to lose?

I never would've imagined my life how it is today compared to how it was a year ago, but I mean this in the best way possible. I'm so thankful for the person that I have grown up to be, and for my boyfriend who is patient with me beyond belief. Second chances mean everything when the person is everything to you. I will not take any of these moments for granted.

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
