This really could be the good life...

It's amazing what a petty little fight can do to a relationship -- in a positive way. Couples fight - it happens. My fiancé and I argue all the time. Last night, we blew up at each other. I am not mad though, because in a way it brought us even closer together. We fight, scream and argue with one another, but when we "make-up", I believes it reminds us of how much we love each other. I am so grateful to have this man in my life. I seriously do not know what I would do without him. He came into my life at such a pivotal point in my life, that without him, I probably wouldn't be here today. This man brought back the true meaning of life, love, friendship and happiness in my life, and I am so beyond thankful for that. There aren't enough words or gifts or whatever to let him know how much he has impacted my life. But in 6 short months, I will make a promise/vow to love him unconditionally, I will vow to be there through thick and thin, through the good and the bad because it is the only way I can think of to thank him for making me who I am today. This man has brought me to life again, I will love him always for that.   

Ever since I accidentally gave myself timeline before Facebook switched everyone over, I refused to go back and look at my past. Tonight - I gave in. And I shouldn't have. There so much that is posted on there reminding of some pretty good times and people who are no longer in my life. Making me miss it. A lot...

And I told you to be kind

It takes a lot out of energy to hate. At this point, I no longer "hate". I despise. I am disappointed. I am still angry. And sometimes I still care. I wish the best for them, honestly. As much I as I would like to see them fail, I wish for success. Things happen for a reason, and there is a reason people do not make it into your future. I understand that reason, but that doesn't mean I still can't wish it were different.

9 years, 9 seasons. A show that pretty much everyone could relate to or define themselves with. We all knew someone like those characters, and maybe even related ourselves to one or two of them. Since day 1, I was intrigued by this show. I found myself consumed in the characters and their story lines, wishing I was Brooke Davis, wishing I had the artistic ability of Peyton Sawyer and so much more. With every episode, it drew you in more and more and I cannot believe it completely ended last night. I feel as if in a way that show shaped who I am today, taught me things that no one else could. One Tree Hill was like my own private escape. 9 years and 9 seasons coming to end. It something that I will surely miss. Thank God for the season DVDs 

Ville Valo of the Finnish band HIM. This man writes the most beautiful lyrics I've ever heard. I believe that music heals & this band has help through some of the most difficult times in my life. For over 10 years I have listened to these guys guys and have been to numerous live shows. I cannot wait for the rumored new album

Lucas, One Tree Hill

The most beautiful place on earth - Venice

I look back at the hundreds of pictures I took while I was there, and I still feel like I missed something; that I didn't capture everything I wanted to. Every single thing about Italy was more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. I miss it every day. I cannot wait to go back there.
