Dear Heart, I must confess: I thought it would be easy, writing a letter to you. I'm a romantic. I think about you all the time. Yet here I sit, Stuck. By your range of emotion. I soon learned that the lowest lows cause the highest highs. By your faith. In the kindness of others, in the existence of love. Together, we hold to our belief that we will find what we seek. I couldn't live this life without you, Heart. And I guess that's what this letter should really be about: The number of times I've wondered if I could. The number of times I've imagined a light switch on my heart, and almost wished I could switch it to "off." If only I didn't long for love, for connection. If only I could be a machine. No loneliness. No pain. If only I could be even more of a work horse. Never stopping for a date. Never desiring to share my life with another. Never needing to spend the time that that necessarily calls for. If only that entire aspect of my life would just ...

I miss my daddy. We live in the same house in the same city. I see him every day, we share a meal together but I miss him terribly. Like I mentioned before I hate growing up. Daddy is what we call him. My father never let us calls him anything but that. For the longest time, my daddy was my hero, my Superman. Still is. He’ll probably scoff if he read this but its true. My daddy still holds strong to that one childhood fantasy. He has never let me down in any way. At the grand old age of 24, I’m still sent back to my room to “wear something that covers you up” and still told to eat my vegetables. Last month I bumped my head on the corner of the table while bending down to fetch something When I came back home that evening, he has taped the corner.. He is a fine man and a brave one. He works with a pharma company and to my child eyes that was the only way to be. He has polio in one leg but HIS CONFIDENCE; ATTITUDE can put any normal man to shame. I remember him taking me to the pool at t...

It will rain and clean the air The tears fall and clear my head. The sun shines brightly with the warmth of a new day. There is new hope in my heart as the sun came up. I have placed my trust in the One who holds my future. The seasons of life come and bring change And the trials of life come and cause us to change. I will stop and smell the flowers and wait for the trial to be over with. I will be at peace and let the rain clear my head

On Friday night, I was on my way back from office to my grand pa’s house. When I left , I was a little upset. I cried happy, grateful tears; it was normal and functional for one evening, and it was lovely. I am so appreciative of my younger sister and cousins, who make my life so happy. They are such wonderful distractions I love being their sister. They have made my life so much better, and I can’t imagine my life without them. When I go to my gradnpa’s house, and they yell my name when I walk in the door because they’re so excited to see me… it’s just the neatest feeling. To be loved and wanted just because, and for no other reason than the fact that I am their sister… to have everything I do be good enough… it’s amazing. I love that they want to spend time with me. I love that they want to tell me things. To listen to tommy drone on and on… and on… about whatever happens to have just finished studying, or whatever stupid, is fabulous because I know they’re telling me about t...

"I will never be the woman with the perfect hair, who can wear white and not spill on it." "Ever thine. Ever mine. Ever ours." "I wouldn't mind being married to you...would you mind being married to me?? ( Big to Carrie) "Don't give me a diamond, just give me a big closet" (Carrie to Big) "Later that day I got to thinking about relationships. There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous." "When you're young, your whole life is about the pursuit of fun. Then, you grow up and learn to be cautious. You could break a bone or a heart....
