#dontreadunlessyouwanttobedepressed

I am officially an idiot.

WHY why WHY?? Why does it take getting caught doing something wrong in order to really face the music?

I'm mad at myself. I hurt someone I love which only in turn hurts my world.
Again, I am an idiot.

On another note, I am training for a half marathon. It is a mixture of heaven and hell. That's the best way I can describe it. Its heaven when its over and hell when its happening. haha not really all the time, but most times its hard to run for me. I had an ultrasound today to find I have ovarian cists which is why my side cramps have been nearly unbearable. The Doc told me to take birth control. I really dont want to. I dont like medicine, and I dont want to put hormones in my body...It scares me.

Wow This is a really EMO post. Bed.

Eat, Pray, Love

The search for yourself. Who you are. What you believe in. What moves you. There is a constant battle between searching for love and loving yourself. Why is it that once one has found love they feel as though they lose themselves. On the contrary, why is it that while alone, one seeks companionship? Where do you find that Balance?

Most recently I have been on a sort of independent journey. I am reading, excersizing, and sorting through life. One phrase that has been continual in my head is " It's not about the destination, but more so the journey to get there."

I am so grateful for my journey. I have had several friends who say that my life is always "exciting" or that crazy things happen to me. I don't think that is necessarily true, but I think it's exciting too! I love my life. While I have had very risky moves to NY and decisions i have made SOLEY for myself and not to please anyone else, my current location seems to be intriguing me. I am living in Fayetteville, Georgia.

Fayetteville, Georgia is where I am, I said it again. To the girl who swore she would never live in Georgia, to the Cali girl at heart, to the New York bad a** chick....God showed YOU!

and FINALLY finally, I am at peace. I am so happy where I am. Though Brittany and I tease each other and say we are "townies" I know that I am EXACTLY in the right spot. Right where God wants me to be. I am happy to wake up and watch Regis and Kelly. I am happy to stalk craigslist and go on random interviews. I am happy to be looking into different churches. and most of all, I am happy finding an adventure in FAYETTEVILLE, georgia.

Despite my first thought to exclaim that I am on an independent search for myself and that I am and independent woman and that I am becoming more in touch with what lies in my heart...I will tell the truth. I am not looking anymore at myself, but I am learning more about my God.

On my quest through Genesis, I am just floored. I have never REALLY really looked at Genesis. I have found more things in these few chapters than I feel like I EVER have. and guess what...I am starting to feel peace. The peace I longed for, the peace I didn't know I was missing. There is this sort of hunger for God that I have been missing. I used to have it. I used to be so intriuged by God...and now, it's even more. I don't know exactly what happened, but I feel so Alive.

No, I am not in a hit movie, or singing the national anthem at the Superbowl. I'm not on the beach learning to surf or going to clubs and restaurants in Hollywood..But I am filming for a short film. I do sing Karaoke in my room. I'm not surfing, but I am laying by the pool reading about Jesus' miracles with my mom, and I get to go to Mexican with some of my dearest friends whenever I want.

I am happy. I am joyful. I am finding myself, by finding my God.

I am Lovely!

Don't wanna be hurt
I just want to be little old me
Shouldn't have to think
Who am I suppose to be today
And what give you the right
To tell me who I should be
Who gave you that right

Cause I, I feel lovely
Just the way that I am
Yes I feel lovely
The way that I am

I know you want the best
Yeah only good things for me
But you have to realize
I can be all these things you project on me
Cause I'm beautiful to me
Doesn't that mean a thing

I feel lovely
Just the way that I am
Yes I feel lovely
The way that I am

I need that to be enough for you
Need that to be enough for you
Cause it's enough for me
It's enough for me

I'm I suppose to give up everything I am
Just to make you happy
I thought I was the one you
Always wanted me to be
It turns out I'm just little old me
I'm just little old me
And that's fine by me

Cause I, I am lovely
Just the way that I am
Oh yes I am,
Yes I am lovely
The way that I am
I am lovely lovely
I am lovely
